OUR STORY

You Are The Occasion.

Soul Gems by Maria began with a simple belief: fine jewelry should never be reserved for a special occasion.   Founded by Maria Elmore Harleston and nestled in the heart of Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard, the boutique is a place where every piece is selected by hand and every visit feels personal. ​ Maria curates each gem with intention, choosing pieces that carry meaning, spark conversation, and feel as though they have been waiting for the right person to discover them.

THE ART OF CURATION

Over 1,000 unique pieces. Not one of them ordinary.

At Soul Gems by Maria, no two pieces are alike. ​ With more than one thousand unique pieces in an ever-evolving collection, Maria personally selects every item in the boutique, from rare vintage finds to fine new arrivals. Each visit offers something new to discover. ​ Maria works closely with every client who walks through the door, listening for what speaks to them, layering pieces, and creating combinations that feel personal and true. It is more than shopping. It is a conversation. ​ The result is jewelry that holds meaning, marks moments, carries symbolism, and stays close for years to come. Treasures chosen not only for how they look, but for how they make you feel.

"It is not a transaction. It is an experience." - Maria Elmore Harleston

"You don't need a special occasion to treat yourself to beautiful jewelry"

Soul Gems by Maria is a beautifully curated collection of new and vintage 14- and 18-karat gold jewelry, hand-selected as an extension of the self. A native of Atlanta and longtime resident of Los Angeles, Maria spent nearly two decades building a successful career in finance at DreamWorks SKG and The Coca-Cola Company before honing her creative voice through interior design and fashion. Encouraged by the conversations her own layered looks invited, Maria launched Soul Gems by Maria in 2022. Her hope is simple: that within this collection, women will discover treasures that ignite their own spark and reflect the truest version of who they are.
