We are so taken by Mary MacGill's approach to jewelry design, which reminds us of our rocky coast and pine forests. A celebration of the natural world.
In a nod to form and function, a single Keshi pearl floats on a 14k chain just above the collarbone and serves as both the centerpiece and clasp of this minimal necklace. The word “keshi” comes from the Japanese “keshinomi,” which means poppy seed — an apt descriptor of these small pearls formed by Akoya oysters.

Mary MacGill, the brand, is the organic evolution of her creative journey, which began at the age of 13, when tea with her mentor Kazuko Oshima instilled her desire to become a jewelry designer. After starting her career with a fine-jewelry company in New York City, Mary returned to her family home on Block Island, Rhode Island, and began hand hammering gold and weaving wire with semi-precious stones. Inspired by the ocean, grasses, and evolving coastline, she created her first collection and sold the designs at the local farmer’s market. The response she received prompted her to establish Mary MacGill Jewelry.
