Maressa Tosto Merwarth’s contemporary jewelry explores the dialogue between material, process, and the intimate connection formed between artist and wearer. Her designs invite curiosity, using familiar shapes and everyday elements to uncover hidden narratives. The Tide Pendant exemplifies this approach. Handcrafted from sterling silver, it features an 8 mm Tahitian grey pearl suspended from a 14 karat yellow gold wire. A 2.5 mm ruby, bezel-set in matching gold, adds a vibrant accent. Offered on a 16” or 18” box chain, this piece is also available with a 2.5 mm diamond and an Akoya pearl in white, pink, yellow, or chocolate, or a golden South Sea pearl. With each piece, Maressa’s jewelry tests new boundaries, challenging where jewelry ends and sculpture begins, where function meets expression, and where craft evolves into fine art.
