About Us

Hello from Elegant Pebble Jewelry! The idea for this business started from a story that my husband wrote for me. I want to share with you the story that started this journey into making jewelry:

 

There was a husband and a wife. One day the wife had to leave for a week and a half because of a death in the family. The husband could not go, but the husband knew he would miss his wife badly. Well while the wife was packing, the husband was looking for anything he could do that would show his love. He then remembered his wife loved penguins and penguins have a way of showing their love to each other. The male will walk along the beach and find the shiniest rock, then present it to the female as a symbol of their love and they stay together forever.

So when the wife left, the husband made his way to the beach thinking, “I’m a Marine. I can find a rock and be back in a hour, this will be easy. Plus I’m doing what penguins do and I’m 100 times more intelligent than them, it’s just finding a good looking rock. Simple.” He also thought, “Penguins are not very smart because they don’t get prenuptial agreements. Also they wear tuxedos with no bow tie, they are stupid idiots.”

Well after all his contemplating he reached the beach. With his confidence high, mind sharp and his eyes to the sand, he started looking for a stone or shell that would compliment his wife’s beauty. Not long after the walk began he saw a rough looking blue and white stone covered in dust. He saw it and picked it up saying, “It’s not good enough but I can carry it around in my pocket and jingle it around to give me something to do.” Well he kept searching; he looked all over the beach. He found white and green rocks, green and black rocks, white and black rocks, and blue and green crystals. Well around this time he started to get nervous and the rock he was jingling in his pocket turned into rubbing the rock as if it was a worry stone.

The husband thought to himself, “I’m not about to fall short to some penguins.” Well the stone in his pocket was being worried really hard at this point with his thumb, moving back and forth over it and changing positions and rubbing again. Soon after the thought of him, a handsome, intelligent, strong Marine not being able to do what some dumb bird with bad dressing habits can do. The very thought lit a fire underneath him and he went back to searching but he didn’t stop worrying that stone in his pocket. So during his search he found light blue rocks, dark blue rocks, red rocks, black rocks and rocks of all different types and colors. But no one of them came close to his wife’s beauty.

Dejected and disheartened the husband started to walk back to his truck to head home, when he remembered the first stone he picked up and he didn’t want to take that one home because it wasn’t good enough either. But when he took that stone out of his pocket he saw a shine not only that but he saw a blue stone with white stripes in it. Blue is her favorite color. He thought, “I grinded this stone down to a beautiful stone shiny and all. It’s still nothing near close to match her beauty but it’s a start.” Then soon, realizing he was on a fool’s errand the whole time because his wife is one of the most beautiful things he can see on this Earth, but he said to himself, “Maybe if I grab the stones left on the beach, I know I won’t find one that matches her beauty but maybe I will find one that after hard work polishing and grinding them, that it comes close enough.” Then he looked down at the blue stone that started it all and said, “You though are a good start.”

 

I hope that this story makes you smile like it did me and lets you know why I started this business. I wanted to share the gift my husband gave me. Like the penguin, I offer beautiful stones for you to find for that right person. Let them know how special they are and present them with a special gift. I strive to help you find that perfect stone and will work hard to make it as close to their beauty as possible.
