Founded in May 2020 by Presley Oldham—nephew of 1990s fashion designer Todd Oldham—the eponymous jewelry brand emerged during the pandemic as a tactile, meditative outlet. Rooted in a zero-waste mindset, the New York-based label is celebrated for its handcrafted, genderless designs that subvert traditional associations with pearls. Oldham sources upcycled freshwater pearls, vintage glass beads, and natural gemstones from flea markets and specialized suppliers, creating pieces that highlight individuality and organic imperfection. The brand's signature style features charmingly off-kilter, sculptural silhouettes, such as the nostalgic "Rice Krispies" necklace and colorful, asymmetrical gemstone drops. Each piece is made in small batches, emphasizing artisanal craftsmanship and a deep connection to the materials.
