Natural Wonders from John Iversen!

Elegant, organic, exciting: it is impossible not to appreciate the natural beauty of John Iversen jewelry. Born in Hamburg, Germany, John Iversen now calls Sag Harbor, New York, home. A master craftsman, he has been creating jewelry for over 30 years. Iversen’s foray into “Nature Casting” spans the gap between fine art and craft and perfectly showcases his unparalleled talents in both arenas.

So many reasons to love the natural wonders from John Iversen!

Working in bronze, silver and gold, Iversen’s wearable sculptures retain the delicate surface of the leaves that he so carefully chooses. John Iversen jewelry does  not recreate a hydrangea blossom or ginkgo leaf, rather it produces this contemporary jewelry artists’ concept of that leaf or blossom as a jewel. In this way, each piece is imbued with the feeling of its maker, another intimate distinction of John Iversen jewelry. Being deeply involved in the fresh use of his materials, Iversen draws inspiration from the organic forms and surfaces seen in his leaves, incorporating them into his varied collection. Simple collar necklaces are accentuated with finely detailed texture; swirl bracelets are reminiscent of trailing vines, truly portraying his keen sensitivity to each piece’s tactile appeal. Iversen’s work is as varied and unique as the natural world itself, with truly endless inspirations at every turn.

Gellner: The Spirit of Pearls!

Founded in 1967 by Tove and Heinz Gellner, the jewelry manufacturer of the same name is now led in its second generation by Jorg Gellner. A globally operative, owner-run company, Gellner is inspired by the Spirit of Pearls. Gellner’s spirit of pearls is characterized by quality and creativity. Beauty is seen in tangible forms with Gellner’s jewelry. Gellner incorporates this interplay of zeitgeist and timeless appeal in skillfully designed masterpieces featuring the finest pearls to create jewelry that is appreciated and noticed. This is jewelry to fall in love with and to be seen in.

Girls With Pearl Earrings

We are girls, and we love pearls! Baroque, Keshi, Tahitian, South Sea, Freshwater…you name it, we’ve got our eye on it! That’s not to say all pearls are created equal, because they most certainly are not. There are natural pink, white, grey, green and black pearls out there, and there is an informal system to determine their value. That being said, luster is by far the most important quality to look for in a pearl! We all have our preferences to shape, size, uniformity and color, but the pearl you are seeking should have the utmost shine and luster. (This is why it is oh so important to never put your pearls in contact with harsh chemicals or perfumes, that luster can be lost, never to return.) With exceptional quality comes exceptional beauty…when you see it, you will know it!

The classic, the extraordinary, Baroque pearl – designs by Gabriella Kiss. The Girl with a Pearl Earring clearly knew all about striking beauty!

Some questions we get asked all the time about pearls are:

Are these pearls ‘natural’? Don’t worry about finding a ‘natural’ pearl. They are extremely rare and even more costly. Just about all the wild pearls have already been harvested. There are exquisite pearls being cultured and farmed in a sustainable way, which is something we can all feel good about!

What is the difference between saltwater and freshwater pearls? There are different types of mollusks that produce very different types of pearls, so depending on the desired style, you will be looking for a saltwater or a freshwater variety. Saltwater pearls include South Sea and Tahitian.  South Sea pearls are the largest of all the pearls and range from white to cream to golden in color. Tahitian pearls are grown in several of the French Polynesian islands (including Tahiti) and range in exotic metallic-like colors including black, grey, blue, green and hints of purple. Freshwater pearls are exactly that, grown in freshwater lakes, rivers and ponds. Many are white and perfectly round, but they can also be found in various shapes and colors.

What about Baroque, Akoya and Keshi pearls? There are so many kinds of pearls! These names refer mainly to the overall shapes they are found in. Baroque pearls are irregular, non-spherically shaped. Akoya pearls are the specialty of Japanese pearl farms, perfectly white and spherical is the typical form we see them in. Keshi pearls contain no nucleus, giving them their organic shape and meaning they are composed entirely of nacre (the strong and resilient mother of pearl!).
