BEAUTY THAT DOESN'T COME AT THE EXPENSE OF THE EARTH
Ocean-inspired jewels that honor your unique essence
Born from a deep love of the ocean, Oceano Jewels was founded in 2015 by Harriet Batchelor Rountree to reimagine pearl jewelry with a contemporary twist. Inspired by her background in art history, sculpture, and restoration, each collection reflects the ocean’s fluid forms and the unique beauty of every pearl.
Distinguished by sculptural silhouettes and luminous motifs, our jewels are created to be as individual as their wearer. With custom options in pearls and metals, each piece becomes a talisman of identity — timeless, personal, and profoundly yours.
Luminous elegance, made for every day
Our contemporary semi-fine pearl jewelry embodies everyday elegance, designed for effortless transitions from day to night. Crafted in our atelier in the south of Mauritius, each piece is lovingly handmade with genuine pearls, gold vermeil, sterling silver, and solid gold — materials chosen for their beauty, durability, and timelessness.
harriet's story
Originally from Mauritius, Harriet draws on a rich and diverse journey through Paris, Italy, and Nairobi before returning to the shores of her island home. Her global experiences and deep love for the ocean inspire her distinctive designs. Beyond the atelier, she treasures time with her three children, finding balance between creativity, family, and the sea.
“Oceano is born from the spirit of my home island, Mauritius, and the Italian tradition of beauty I embraced during my years abroad. Each jewel blends baroque pearls, volcanic lava, semi-precious stones, sterling silver, and leather — materials that carry stories of the places and cultures I love.
Jewelry comes alive when worn: it shapes your mood, reflects your essence, and becomes part of your journey. Every piece holds fragments of my story, of the artisans I collaborate with, and of the beauty discovered in my travels. My wish is that you will feel the same warmth, originality, and quiet strength in wearing my designs.”
