Company Name: Maris Pearl Co.

Fun Fact: 'Maris' is my last name, and it means 'of the sea' in Latin. When I was a little girl, I was convinced that I was at least part mermaid! I spent hours practicing how to swim like a fish with my legs squeezed together to imitate a mermaid's tail.

About your company: Maris Pearl Co. is an ocean-conscious jewelry studio that uses the sale of naturally-shaped pearls to raise awareness and funding for ocean conservation initiatives.

Why you started: I founded my company for two reasons: the first, to fulfill a generational tradition of philanthropy by giving back to my family's natal island of Andros, Greece. The second, as a global marketer, was to design a beautiful brand that would celebrate our connection to the ocean through the sale of beautiful products.
