Love’s Lustre — Looking for the perfect something for Mom this Sunday? LA based jeweler,  Jeffrey Levin, has handcrafted the mother of all Mother’s Day gifts with his sustainably harvested, resin, dye and bleach-free mother of pearl collection. Just like Mom, the iridescent pearl is soothing when life feels stressful. Its retro qualities are rendered modern by Levin’s substantial recycled silver setting and careful crafting. An attached tiny precious heart charm, available in gold, silver and white or black diamond, signifies how much you care. Available as an adjustable ring or pendant.
