"Raw" and "rugged" are not things one would associate with jewelry, but Pearls Before Swine challenges what the concept of jewelry truly is. Handmade in Canada, the brand approaches jewelry unlike ever before: instead of finding the perfect pearl or the most pristine of silver, brand founder Himo Martin goes out of his way to collect imperfect stones and sets it against oxidized metals, veering away from the traditional shiny aesthetic that precedes jewelry. All jewelry is made by Martin himself and ethically sourced, and the rich catalogue of thorn bracelets, silver earrings, and gold necklaces provide personality to any wardrobe.
