Akoya pearls are known for their beauty and history: this type of pearl is the longest pearl to be cultured. Farmed in Japan, these saltwater pearls come from the Akoya oyster and are typically an alabaster hue- occasionally and rarely they are found in a silvery blue orient as if they’d been steeped in rishi jasmine tea.
Origins: Saltwater farms in Japan
MOHs Hardness: 2.5
Care: Pearls are a particularly soft and porous organic material. Keep pearls away from chemicals. Contact with cosmetics, oils, acids, etc., can discolor or ruin the texture of pearls. To clean, use warm water with mild soap. Do not use an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
Strands of pearls should not be washed- they should be wiped down with a soft, clean cloth before storing. Wetting the silk can cause stretching.

THE ANATOMY OF THE BARNACLE

Like tiny ocean blossoms, the barnacles on our jewelry hold the rough-and-tumble nostalgia of the sea. Each one is hand-carved, gathering in quiet clusters that speak to the resilience of holding fast through changing tides.

From tiny clusters to larger barnacles set with gemstones, all of our barnacles are hand-carved by Hannah.

We love to adorn pearls, turquoise, and other beads and stones with barnacles - a curious twist on a classic design. Drilled and set into the surface, the barnacles cling as though they always belonged there.

Cast in solid silver, gold, and platinum, the barnacles take on a new permanence as tiny forms that capture the ocean’s raw beauty.
