Ocean Jasper ...AN ADVENTURE

...AN ADVENTURE
History &
Habitat
“Within the world of gemstones, two are never alike –
there is always a little difference – something that makes
a gem unique and gives it character. However, no gem
has features that are as individual and as one-of-a-kind
as jasper: a strong material that has never been used
for fine jewelry simply because of the fact that no gem
is alike and you will never be able to create identical
designs. This is what intrigued me: the possibility to
express something original and still convey a sense of
recognizable brand awareness! I envisioned a stone,
when creating Hippie Glam, that has a very natural and
bohemian feel, that has a pattern and a myriad of colors:
Ocean Jasper! Ocean Jasper has not been sourced for
many years now and was formerly used for sculptures
and crafts. Found on the northern coast of Madagascar
in a rough and almost inaccessible area, it is sourced
along the coastline at low tide only, where small boats
leave shore, loaded up and waiting for high tide to
come. My team and I have been to this place – exploring
the source in order to find the most interesting and
distinctive pieces of Ocean Jasper to create the unique
Collection of Hippie Glam.
Find your favorite pattern and be sure that no one else
will have the same!”

& Workmanship
“It is a long journey from the gems source to the final
cutting and polish. Tons of material needs to be mined,
analysed, first roughly hammered, and then cut into
smaller lots. Then it is sorted for use and by color.
Volcanic eruptions and movements of the earth crust
have pressed together different minerals over millions
of years, developing layers of stone out of jasper,
quartzes (the transparent part) and other minerals. It
requires experienced gemstone cutters with a trained
eye for „good and no good“ to work this mineral, and
lastly, our final touch to select and determine the most
beautiful patterns: Some look like pictures taken from
space – we call them Landscape Jasper, and some look
like hand-painted enamel – we call them Picasso Jasper.
It is hard to believe that these multi-textured gems are
just one piece of stone! The combination of their earthy
tones and patterns allow us to create our Hippie Glam
Ocean Jasper Collection – set in only 18K and some
accentuated with the natural tones of brown diamonds!
I love holding the Ocean Jasper Amulet against a light
and seeing the different minerals glow and the patterns
shine through. Enjoy casual luxury and do not hesitate
to ask any questions!”

Whenever the gems arrive from our cutter
in Madagascar, we ooh and aah over the
uniqueness of their colors and appeal.
The industry calls it Picasso or Landscape
Jasper, and the biggest adventure has
been creating new designs!
Ocean Jasper can only be sourced at low
tide when the mines near the ocean are
accessible and the small boat that brings
the rough stone to the cutter has to wait
for high tide to leave the mining areas.
