Collection: La Mercè Festival (Barcelona)

Barcelona's great festival honours the Mare de Déu de la Mercè — Our Lady of Mercy — and this series carries her name in stone. Medieval Europe called the pearl the pearl of the Virgin, and white moonstone, carved into images of Mary, is the moon's own gift, the stone of the divine feminine. Peridot, pink tourmaline and rhodochrosite gather round with compassion; agate, garnet and tiger's eye carry the courage of the castellers, who raise human towers to the sky; and citrine adds the creativity of the city itself. For its beauty, its story, and whatever meaning you give it.
