About Pendulum

Kristin’s love for the beauty of jewelry and its sentiment started at a young age. Her appreciation for gemstones is deeply rooted from time spent in her family’s jewelry store, which has been in operation for generations. Her creativity shined in the beauty industry for more than two decades along with her passion for deep human and spiritual connection. She earned her RYT certification in Yoga, several in Mindfulness, certifications in the properties of gemstones, diamonds and jewelry at the Gemological Institute of America, a Bachelor's degree in Communications and Business from St. John Fisher College.

Kristin became enamored with rough uncut material her husband Mark was working with. This sparked an interest to learn more of the stones history and significance.

Mark views the world through an artist’s lens. As a student of gemology and art history, his passion for fine stylistic detail thrives while collaborating with Kristin. A veteran jeweler, he has studied the mechanics that are required of fine jewelry and combines that with the ingenuity he infuses.

His formal training includes attending the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica, California earning a Graduate Jeweler Gemologist certification and studying jewelry design and manufacturing at NYC Fashion Institute of Technology. Mark has been designing and manufacturing jewelry since 2004.

With their combined experiences and passion to see life in color, exquisite craftsmanship and a magical customer experience is their highest intention. For more on Pendulum’s jewelry and process, click here. We cannot wait for you to “feel the energy” adorning our gems.
