The Palisades Connection

The Palisades Connection

I was born and raised in Pacific Palisades.

The Palisades Medallion

The Palisades Medallion is a symbol of unity. My core design philosophy is that each piece I produce has a human connection at its heart, and my mission is to create and maintain multi-generational connections. The Oli & Tess flower symbolizes unity with its petals all connected. Whether or not you grew up in the Palisades or just moved there, people are uniting in grief and the need to feel connected to one another. The medallion’s simple elegance is easy to wear, touch, and connect. I will donate 100% of the profits to the “Raise Pali” Fund which is directly linked to the school and intended to support rebuilding efforts following the fire damage. 

Why is this Palisades Medallion so special?

I am an artist who was born and raised in Pacific Palisades. In elementary school, I would enter contests to paint the store windows in town for Halloween. In high school, I was commissioned to paint a mural on the wall of the children’s section of the local video store. In my thirties, when I had my clothing line, I shot my first campaign at station 69, the Pacific Palisades Fire Department. Now I am a jewelry designer. At the end of last year, I put my complete jewelry collection at a jewelry store in Pacific Palisades, for the holidays. That fateful decision has solidified my connection to the Palisades forever. The store burned to the ground along with the thousands of other homes on the streets I used to roam when I was a child. I am lucky that only my business has suffered as I now live in San Diego. But my heart is broken and I want to help. I am desperate to help. Please join me in helping to rebuild the Pali High School. I will donate ALL of the profits to the raise Pali Fund. 

About Oli and Tess Jewelry

Oli and Tess jewelry is not manufactured in China or Mexico. It is handmade by my goldsmith and master jeweler. It is limited because I am an artist, not a manufacturer. When you touch an Oli and Tess piece you can feel the luxurious difference and know you have something special that no one else has. It’s solid and built to last for generations.

Buy one for yourself and feel connected or buy one for a loved one that you know has lost everything. Solidify your connections with this beautiful symbol of Palisades' love.
