Our Story

TerraGemma was founded in October 2019 by two Swiss-Scottish sisters, Isabelle and Melissa, whose shared passion for fashion and gemstones ignited the creation of this unique brand. Their family heritage is deeply intertwined with the world of jewelry and gems: their Scottish grandfather was a prominent jewelry wholesaler in Scotland, while their Swiss great-great-grandfather was a respected gemologist known for his expertise in the field.

Named "TerraGemma," which translates to "jewel of the earth" in Latin, our brand reflects our profound respect for Mother Earth and the natural beauty she provides. We are committed to honoring this connection by infusing our designs with the essence of the earth’s treasures.As a 100% female-owned family business, TerraGemma is devoted to crafting high-quality jewelry that is both beautiful and meaningful. Each piece is crafted with love and intention, reflecting our desire to celebrate the natural world through our work.

Our values are the foundation upon which each piece of jewelry is created. We believe that true beauty lies not only in the designs we craft but also in the principles we uphold. Each piece of jewelry reflects our commitment to transparency, sustainability, quality, and craftsmanship.
From the beginning, our goal has been to highlight the treasures of our planet. Naturally, we have turned to semi-precious stones, which, in addition to their spectacular beauty, possess unique vibrational virtues.

Our current style expresses our deep values. Each piece of jewelry reflects our profound respect for nature through designs inspired by the four elements—fire, water, earth, and air—symbolizing their balance and power. The raw textures of our creations capture the natural and imperfect beauty of the world. By using recycled noble materials and authentic, traceable stones, we demonstrate our commitment to quality and excellence.

Our mission is to create beautiful jewelry imbued with powerful symbolism, connecting you each day to your inner light and divine nature, while boosting your self-confidence. Our pieces are designed for bold individuals who embrace the spirit of freedom and the wild beauty of nature.

Throughout history, ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, Atlantis, the Maya, and Babylon have left us a rich legacy of artistry and mysticism. These cultures were deeply connected to the stars, nature, and the energies that permeate our world. They infused their creations with profound symbolism, craftsmanship, and a deep reverence for beauty and art. 

At TerraGemma, our admiration for these ancient ways has profoundly inspired our collections. We are captivated by the simple yet wise lifestyles of our ancestors, whose jewelry and artifacts were more than mere adornments—they were powerful symbols and channels of energy. Each piece they crafted reflected their profound connection to the cosmos and the natural world, embodying the love of craftsmanship and a passion for beauty that continues to resonate with us today. 

Wearing one of our creations is akin to embarking on a journey through time, into the mystic realms of these ancient civilizations. Each piece of jewelry is more than a mere accessory; it tells a story, carries unique symbolism, and vibrates with a special magical energy. If you are enchanted by raw, wild, and timeless designs, our creations will captivate you. We invite you to explore the intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary elegance through our meticulously crafted jewelry, where every piece connects you to a heritage of artistry and magic.
