A timeless classic, reimagined ✨
Inspired by 17th-century French filigree, our Margaret Collection pairs intricate vintage-inspired detailing with luminous freshwater pearls for a look that feels both elegant and effortless. Featured here against the ironwork that inspires so many of our designs, these pieces are a beautiful blend of history, craftsmanship, and modern sophistication.
And with pearl season right around the corner, there’s no better time to celebrate June’s birthstone 🤍

For centuries, rice shaped the Lowcountry. Vast fields lined Charleston’s rivers and marshes, sustaining its economy and defining daily life. Over time, the rice grain became a lasting symbol of the region’s resilience, beauty, and heritage.

Our Charleston Rice Beads reflect that same spirit. Inspired by the graceful form of a rice grain — simple, organic, and timeless — each piece is crafted in precious metal, designed to glow with understated elegance and enduring beauty. Like the city’s iconic iron gates, they are unmistakably Charleston.

A bloom rich with meaning 🌸
