The Story of Sea Urchin

My years underwater

These designs are a testament to how impactful my years underwater have been.  I love the ocean, and if you do too, they might be the right for you. 

The biggest influence in my sister’s art has always been nature, and the glorious sea urchin of our youth and of Earnst Haeckel’s prints is central to our pantheon.

There is something divine about the intricate skeleton of a sea urchin.  It has a natural geometry, a royal shape, and it begs to be touched.

Yachtie Minds Matter

Sometimes it is necessary for us to speak up for those who are afraid to speak, and to create a safe space for those that do not feel safe.

Through Yachtie Minds Matter (www.yachtiemindsmatter.org), Captain Kelly Gordon is speaking up and creating a safe space for those that need it, and selflessly leading the change she would like to see in the yachting community.

Mental well-being is fundamental to all of us, and needs our support. In support of her pioneering work in mental health for crew members, I am proudly donating 15% of the sales of my Sea Urchin Collection directly to her charity.

To Honor Sarah

I lost my wife Sarah to metastatic breast cancer in 2017, and I created Pharaoun to honor her memory by honoring the women in my life.

Sarah taught me about joy, romantic love, and how wonderful our relationships with our children can be.  She taught me so much, and I’m still learning from her.  One of her biggest lessons inspired the Pink Key Society.

Sarah’s natural elegance, her smile, and her love of people and life was contagious.  She made everyone feel incredible, loved, and happy.  I am so blessed that she was my partner for ten years, and she is a large part of my heart.  

She is the woman that inspires every design, and I dedicate Pharaoun to her.

Your Pharaoun should remind you of your favorite version of yourself.

"What I find is that in the chaos of every day, women forget themselves, their strength, their beauty, and their independence.  

I want my designs to inspire women to be their favorite version of themselves, and that starts with you honoring yourself."

In 2021, I won more awards for my Bonbon collection.

I am so grateful for the recognition and support these awards symbolize, and I promise to keep creating designs that inspire you. Thank you. Sergio.

Sergio Andrés' Personal Style

Jewelry has always been a part of my life, but it wasn’t until my wife died from metastatic breast cancer that I started designing for the women in my life.

It has been an amazing ride.  I have met thousands of women, and created a mission, for women to see themselves the way I see them, to create a world where they honor themselves.  My specialty has become cocktail rings, statement pieces that a woman chooses for herself, that I hope remind her of her favorite version of herself.

At the same time, I have always purchased vintage jewelry, both brooches and cufflinks, and I soon found myself adapting my designs to the types of pieces that I would like to wear myself.

Every Woman Should Know Her Ring Size

Unsure of your ring size?  It can be difficult, especially because a cocktail ring can be worn on any finger. 

I created a ring sizer to help, and would be happy to send you one.
