There’s something special about discovering a brand in person — not through a line sheet, not at a trade show, but organically. In conversation. In place.
During her time in Mexico, Susan met the founder behind The Freshwater Pearl Company, and it was one of those quiet, instant yes moments. The craftsmanship drew us in first — organic baroque pearls, soft suede, modern silhouettes. But the story behind the brand made it stay with us.
And that’s when we knew we wanted to bring it home to Haven.
A Story We Couldn’t Walk Away From
The Freshwater Pearl Company was founded by Brian Schultz in honor of his mother — a woman whose life embodied love, resilience, and deep community connection. After losing her to cancer, he created the brand as a tribute to her spirit and as a way to give back, with a portion of proceeds supporting cancer research.
This isn’t jewelry made for trends.
It’s jewelry made from memory. From meaning. From love.
And you can feel that.
The pearls are natural and imperfect in the most beautiful way — each one slightly unique, just as it should be. They feel grounded. Textural. Real. Not overly precious. Not overly polished.
Just… timeless.
Modern Pearls, Reimagined
When we think of pearls, many of us think formal. Occasion. Traditional.
But this collection redefines that completely.
These are pearls you wear with denim.
Pearls layered over a knit.
Pearls that soften a blazer.
Pearls that elevate a simple tee.
They aren’t saved for special events — they’re meant for everyday life.
And that’s exactly why they fit so naturally into our Everyday Elevated philosophy.
The Style Haven Fell For: The Carina
The piece that made it a yes for us is the Carina Leather Baroque Pearl Lariat Necklace.
A fresh interpretation of a classic silhouette, the Carina pairs supple suede with a luminous baroque freshwater pearl. The lariat style is adjustable, allowing you to wear it long and relaxed or slightly higher for a more layered look.
It’s effortless. It’s sculptural. It moves beautifully.
We brought it in the shades we loved most — each one offering its own mood:
-
A soft neutral that disappears into knits
-
A rich tone that grounds darker denim
-
A warm shade that plays beautifully against sun-kissed skin
-
A classic option that feels timeless year-round
(You can explore each color variation in-store or online.)
How We’re Styling It at Haven
If you’ve been in the shop lately, you’ve seen it layered over:
-
Relaxed straight-leg denim and a crisp white tee
-
An oversized neutral knit with sleeves pushed up
-
A softly tailored blazer for that polished-but-easy look
-
Lightweight resort layers as we move toward spring
The beauty of the Carina is that it doesn’t compete with your outfit — it completes it.
It adds that finishing touch. That quiet glow. That subtle texture that pulls everything together.
Jewelry With Intention
At Haven, we’re drawn to pieces that carry more than aesthetic value. We’re drawn to intention. Craft. Story.
The Freshwater Pearl Company feels aligned with everything we believe in: thoughtful design, emotional depth, and everyday wearability.
These pearls aren’t about being precious.
They’re about being personal.
And we love that.
