The Story of Luster and Earth

 

We are so excited to bring this collection of timeless and iconic sterling silver jewelry to share with the world. To us, Luster + Earth is so much more than a business, it’s a celebration of timeless craftsmanship and sharing our love for things that shine with the world. We are a mother daughter duo that has bonded over our love for jewelry forever! We are not just curating a collection of jewelry — we are sharing pieces with a rich history, imbued with stories and memories from their past owners. 

Each item in our collection of preloved sterling silver jewelry has a unique charm, often crafted with care, skill, and attention to detail that you simply can’t replicate today. Sterling silver jewelry, with its classic appeal and durability, never goes out of style. These timeless treasures continue to shine as brightly as when they were first made, and they have a beauty that transcends the passing years.

Passed Through Generations

We owe a lot of our love for gorgeous things to Suella Jean, who was known for wearing the finest jewelry and having the best taste when it comes to her style. This meticulous jewelry selecting and styling has been passed down to the both of us and has helped infuse our appreciation for all things sterling silver and the Luster and Earth Collection! 

Sterling silver, in particular, has a special allure when it’s been worn and loved. The natural patina that develops over time adds character and depth, creating a piece that’s not only beautiful but has a history that adds to its mystique. This is the essence of preloved jewelry: it’s a piece of the past that carries forward its elegance and energy, connecting its previous owners to the future.

The Weaverville Hotel & Emporium

Nestled at the base of the Trinity Alps, there once was a beloved jewelry and gift shop owned by Brian and Jean called The Weaverville Hotel & Emporium. They collected and sold sterling silver jewelry and other gifts for decades. This store was the go-to gift shop in Weaverville and was known amongst jewelry collectors for years. Brian & Jean’s rare selection of Native American jewelry, stunning gemstone settings, silver rings, and designs from across the world were a sight to see. They decided to close their doors in late 2023 and much of our initial collection originates from them! 

Whether you’re drawn to vintage designs or unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, every item in our collection is a reflection of the time and care put into its creation. These aren’t mass-produced accessories; they are carefully crafted works of art that hold value far beyond their initial cost — not just in terms of price, but in their lasting beauty and meaning.

Luster and Earth: A New Journey Together

Upon obtaining this collection, we decided to take our business online and embark on a creative journey together where we get to hunt for those undiscovered vintage sterling silver jewels and share our love for jewelry with the world. We invite you to browse our entire collection of jewelry that is sure to match the style of any person out there!

We’re more than just a jewelry store — we’re curators of the past, bringing preloved sterling silver treasures to a new generation of jewelry lovers. When you shop with us, you’re not only adding to your collection — you’re also preserving the legacy of beautiful craftsmanship and contributing to a more sustainable world.

Sustainability: Jewelry With a Purpose

In today’s world, sustainability is more important than ever, and preloved jewelry is an incredible way to make more eco-conscious choices without sacrificing style or quality. By embracing vintage or secondhand pieces, we help keep precious resources in circulation while reducing the demand for new materials. Jewelry that has already been crafted and loved before is, in essence, a piece of art that continues its journey without contributing to the growing environmental impact of the jewelry industry.

When you choose preloved sterling silver jewelry, you’re not just purchasing a beautiful accessory — you’re making a statement about your values and your commitment to the environment. Each piece you acquire has already lived a life, been cherished, and is ready to continue being adored by you, creating a legacy that transcends generations.
