The Forgotten Pearls
An oyster cage left at sea for ten years, a farmer who never came back for it, and a pile of "ugly" pearls April couldn't stop thinking about.
Shibumi’s Fall Capsule Collection
April’s fall layering edit: the Nina Shirt, a Berkeley-made Snake Belt, Tamaki Niime’s Powan Skirt, and indigo and Root scarves, chosen to give the jewelry we love the right context.
