About Freshwater Jewelry Designs

Freshwater uses a unique mix of freshwater pearls, gems, silver and organic materials to create an elegant design style and pieces that can be worn anywhere—as easily with jeans as with evening wear. Pearls, silver and gemstones, such as tanzanite, aquamarine, tourmaline, and citrine, are hand-selected for each one-of-a-kind piece. All pieces have carefully chosen exquisite clasps. Prices range from $150 to $800.

Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Paula Sass Donnelly and Judith Kaye are artists whose work is inspired by the beauty of the surrounding high desert.
