Our Product Story
California artist Jes MaHarry is influenced and inspired by her surroundings-her ranch near Ojai, her many animals, the ever-changing beauty of nature. Her jewelry is intensely personal, always inspiring and often surprising in its unusual juxtaposition of refined and rugged elements.
Aquamarine, a universal symbol of youth, hope and health, blesses those born in March. Aquamarine is a member of the important beryl family, which includes the emerald, but aquamarine is less brittle and more durable than emerald. Aquamarine ranges in color from light blue to bluish green to deep blue, which is the most valuable and desirable color. It is a very wearable gem, clear and brilliant, and, unlike emerald, is available with excellent clarity even in very large sizes, although these are becoming scarce today.
A freshwater pearl is formed in the same manner as a saltwater pearl, whether natural or cultured. The term freshwater refers to where the pearl is formed, not how. The distinction between saltwater and freshwater is not as important in assessing pearls' desirability and durability as whether the pearls are natural or cultured.
