When you know where and how a piece was
ethically made, that’s beautiful.
At ReBe, we believe in finding the world’s best experts. This often takes us abroad where we go to gem mines, production studios, pearl and silk farms. We have a special heart for China, where our co-founders have lived on and off for 17 years. We love their culture, craftsmanship, and people.

OUR TURQUOISE

CLOUD MOUNTAIN MINE

We journeyed to the top of Cloud Mountain, where turquoise has been mined for a thousand years, originally to outfit Emperors. Here we met turquoise miners and developed a supply source for our gems.

OUR PEARLS

ZHUJI PEARL LAKES

To find the best pearls, we traveled to an ancient Chinese village where pearl farming is a high art. Farmers like Mr. Zhang respect the earth and recycle by using plastic bottles to tether the oysters.
