Goodbye 2025! You were slightly unhinged. Wild. Relentless. Farewell! I remember why I love the sea—saltwater on my skin. Why dusk is my favorite time of day, and sinking beneath the waves is the calm I seek. The whales have returned. Each year, I wonder if their songs are more melancholic, speaking to us of survival, change, and transformation. Or sharing with us tales of their own survival in compositions of patterns and phrases of sounds. Mostly, I’m just grateful they come back.
Thank you to my clients who wear my jewelry, and for the ocean and natural world that create these rare moments of beauty long before they ever meet human hands.
Introducing Celine, this one-of-a-kind ring pairs a luminous Tahitian pearl with deep blue sapphires, both shaped by time, tide, and pressure. Blue sapphires feel like the sea at dusk— calm, enduring, and endlessly layered. Set together in 14k gold, this ring feels timeless in the way true luxury should: understated, intentional, and made to last generations.
Tahitian pearls have a presence unlike any other — moody, elegant, quietly powerful — and these pearls were sourced from Kamoka Pearl, a sustainable family-run farm in French Polynesia, whose respect for the ocean is felt in every pearl they produce. I purchased my Tahitian ocean gems from Celeste a couple of years ago and have been waiting to make a special collection with them. This is just the beginning...
