Shibumi Gallery is pleased to announce Color, Light, Luster.

The past year has found us all clinging to small moments of 'normalcy': a walk with a friend, a delicious meal, a movie to cozy up with or time spent with loved ones in our pods. These occasions that we once took for granted have now become special, memorable and personal - taking on a new significance.

Color, Light, Luster is a show to remind us that beauty, like these small moments, is something that can be easily overlooked, but found every day in unexpected places and appreciated in special ways. The pieces for this show were curated with loved ones in mind as Valentine's Day nears. Perhaps a favorite color or stone, or a piece to be worn every day can serve not only as an expression of love but also a reminder that beauty is never far.

The giving of jewelry is an intimate gesture whether gifted to a loved one, a friend or even oneself. What once may have been ‘normal’ is perhaps now a bright spot to be appreciated, remembered and celebrated.

Marian Maurer brings color to life with her ethically sourced gem stones set in elegant 18k gold jewelry. They are special pieces that can be worn everyday and can be easily layered with your other favorite pieces.

Black Market Pearls features Tahitian, Keshi and South Sea Pearls. We will be showing strands, matched pairs and loose pearls which our custom design team can help you design and create a beautiful piece within your price point.

April Higashi will also feature some of her pearl pieces. These will be available for purchase or simply as inspiration for transforming loose pearls or redesigning a pearl piece you may already have that is in need of updating or restringing.
