Sculptural Jewels That Celebrate the Majesty of the Sea

The Birds, Bees, and Things from the Sea collection by Vivienne Charles offers a meaningful way to celebrate that bond. Designed by artist and jeweler Elisa Gilbert, the collection includes a love letter to the ocean, captured in sculptural, hand-crafted forms. Each piece evokes the romance of coastal discovery and the elegance of fine craftsmanship, resulting in wearable works of art that feel both timeless and personal.

The jewels in this collection are not merely decorative; they are poetic reflections of nature’s quieter moments. The Caelum Vero 

necklace features a single starfish formed from 14k gold and sterling silver, textured to catch the light like moonlight on water. It recalls the hush of the tide at night and the shimmer of starlight mirrored on the sea’s surface. The Sun-Kissed Tidepool Stars earrings offer the warmth of twilight, their tiny, gilded starfish embodying that fleeting glow found in tidepools at sundown—perfect for the mother who treasures the quiet magic of dusk walks along the shore. Caleum’s Tidal Reverie necklace captures the soft promise of a morning beach stroll, where a 

perfectly preserved starfish glows with golden brilliance in the early light. Its 14k gold form, suspended on a sterling silver chain, offers a sense of calm and wonder—an everyday reminder of the beauty found in nature’s simplest gifts. For something bold and radiant, the Great Whale Brooch stands out with its masterful design: over two hundred sapphires swirl across its form, diamonds sparkle like seafoam, and a single emerald eye glints with mystery. This piece feels like a legend made tangible, ideal for the mom whose strength runs as deep as the sea.

Equally striking is the Twin Mer-Dancers choker, where two seahorses in sterling silver and 24k gold vermeil float in graceful balance on a curved cable. It is a nod to mythology, marine elegance, and the dance of duality—an ideal piece for the mother who values both sophistication and symbolism. The Midnight Stingray Belt brings another layer of artistry to the collection, sculpted in sterling silver and paired with slender leather straps. Inspired by a moonlit dive off the coast of Belize, the belt is a powerful statement of adventure, individuality, and fluid strength.

The Caelum Belt, with its deep cordovan leather and gleaming gold vermeil centerpiece, evokes the feel of a rare discovery in a hidden market by the sea. It is a piece that speaks to the mom who appreciates timeless beauty and the quiet thrill of the unexpected. Each design in this collection brings with it a story, a feeling, a moment that lingers.
