South Sea pearls are known for their delicate pastel hues and luxurious glow. Their colors range from soft white to creamy champagne and subtle pink tones, making them a favorite among those who appreciate understated elegance. These pearls are some of the largest in the world, often measuring 15 mm or more. They originate from the Pinctada Maxima oyster, which has gold and silver-lipped varieties and is found in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Like The White Rabbit, we have the capacity to renew ourselves, to refresh our appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. We can be more mindful of the little moments—the rustling leaves, the warmth of the sun, the laughter of loved ones. In the wake of upheaval, we are given the opportunity to grow stronger, to deepen our faith, and to embrace the natural rhythms of creation.

As I’ve grown, I’ve also come to appreciate the joy of sharing these treasures. When the time comes that I’ve outgrown a beloved piece or my home has become too full, I find equal pleasure in passing it on. A well-loved item should continue its journey, bringing joy to someone else as it once did for me. Some of my family’s antiques have been cherished through generations, each owner treasuring them as the original aficionado once did.

It has been 47 years since that day, and my ring has become an integral part of my personal history, spanning every important life event I have experienced. My mother, now 100 years old, was recently asked if she recalled where my ring came from. She, too, had forgotten the pearl. In that moment, I had the honor of recounting our story together, inviting her back in time to relive the memories she helped to create.

Available in classic shades of black, brown, and gray, these leather wraps complement any outfit, from daytime casual to evening elegance. The soft suede texture offers a luxurious feel, enhancing every look with a hint of effortless refinement. Whether paired with jeans and a tee or a sleek evening dress, these wraps make an understated yet impactful fashion statement.

I want each of us to experience abundant love, to grant ourselves—and each other—full grace and mercy. Every journey we walk is valuable, each moment a precious jewel we hold close to our hearts. I wish for us a lifetime of laughter, the power of unwavering character, true happiness, and a spirit of gratitude. May we walk through life with courage, embracing every role, every challenge, and every transformation with confidence.

Every soul’s name carries a special meaning, whether we realize it or not. Recently, I met a remarkable woman whose name intrigued me: Marguerite Jane. She casually refers to herself as ‘plain Jane,’ but the moment I met her, I knew she was anything but plain. Marguerite is a woman of vibrance and grace, well-traveled and full of life. Her energy is magnetic, her kindness effortless. She has an affinity for large pearls, and it is an honor to design pieces that adorn her beautiful neckline, each one reflecting her essence and the stories she carries.
