A family-run shop selling handmade jewelry from stones collected along Sea Isle City, New Jersey.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The project frames production as a family sorting ritual rather than conventional sourcing: stones are gathered on the shore, washed on a porch, dried, debated over, and made into jewelry at a kitchen table. Its catalog is organized into small thematic groupings, including naturally heart-shaped finds, while a sold archive preserves pieces that are no longer available. The homepage also points visitors toward a geological stone guide, making the material itself part of the site's subject rather than merely a decorative detail.
