Set your course for the horizon.

Named after one of the most important navigational constellations, our Southern Cross is set in solid 14kt solid gold, featuring a cross-shaped baroque pearl adorned with a sparkling diamond solitaire. 

Our Southern Cross hangs at 16", with thoughtful extensions to accommodate 17" and 18" of total wear. 

The polar partner to the North Star, the Southern Cross traces a line due South, guiding sailors on their adventures across the Pacific. Also known as Crux or Hanaiakamalama in Hawaiian, the beloved constellation is visible in Hawai‘i from December to January, just above the horizon in the southern sky before sunrise.

We spent years creating our first diamond collection to ensure our gemstones are ethically sourced and environmentally sustainable. As with all of our pieces, 5% of the sale of every Southern Cross Pendant is donated to support our marine conservation partners. 

Each Maris piece is designed to be worn, loved, and treasured for years to come. As a natural gem formed by water, every pearl deserves gentle care.

Avoid exposure to perfumes, lotions, chlorine, and harsh chemicals, and remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising. When not being worn, store your piece in its keepsake box and gently polish the gold with a soft cloth as needed.

Ready to ship between 1-2 business days from our seaside studio in Hawai‘i. We offer complementary standard shipping on orders over $300. Please contact us for rush orders.

Our digital gift cards do not require shipment and are available immediately.
