Like the ocean made it just for you.

The Tessie Necklace is nature, captured in gold. A sculptural molten gold pendant — organic, imperfect, and completely beautiful — cradles a single luminous freshwater pearl at its center. It looks like something the sea itself shaped: raw and refined all at once.

Small enough to be subtle. Special enough to be your signature.

Named for a woman who gave everything.

Tessie was Ari’s lola (grandmother) — the matriarch of the family, the quiet force behind everything. She was selfless in the truest sense: always giving, always present, always the one holding everyone together without ever asking for anything in return. Her love was steady, her grace was effortless, and her strength was the kind that doesn’t announce itself.

This necklace is for her. And for every woman who carries that same spirit.

In honor of "Lola"

Some women leave behind more than memories. They leave behind the love, strength, and stories that become part of who we are.

The Tessie Necklace was created in honor of Arianna’s "lola", Tessie — Anna’s mother — whose life and love remain woven into the heart of Ari Mare.

After watching her journey through Alzheimer’s and dementia, her family knows firsthand how precious our memories are and how deeply they are tied to the people we love.

At the heart of the Tessie is a luminous pearl pendant, chosen as a symbol of a precious memory held close. A reminder of the moments we never want to lose, the stories we carry forward, and the love that remains even when memories begin to fade.

In her honor, Ari Mare will donate 20% of proceeds from every Tessie Necklace sold to the Alzheimer’s Association, supporting families affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia and helping advance the fight against the disease.

Even when memories fade, love remains.
