About us

tear stones takes its name from an image: gemstones as the tears of stone, filled with color.

A tear can arrive with laughter, relief, or a feeling not yet named. We find such moments in ordinary days. A friend makes room at a crowded table. A familiar object interrupts the day. Someone tries again, without quite knowing how.

Each piece has an original short story, beginning with its color, its form, or a small movement of the person wearing it.

These stories gather in three ongoing chapters: What We Keep, Where We Meet, and Who We Become. Each can be entered on its own.

Jewelry moves through ordinary days. Its meaning may change with the places it goes and the people it stays close to.

We give a story its first lines. The rest is yours.
