About Tide + terra
Welcome to Tide + Terra, where coastal beauty meets modern elegance. Our jewelry is more than just an accessory—it’s a reflection of a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and a deep connection to the natural world. Inspired by the shores of Gulf Shores, Alabama, every piece we craft tells a story of sea and land coming together, creating timeless designs that speak to the modern minimalist.
Our Journey
Tide + Terra began with a vision: to create jewelry that not only captures the natural beauty of the coast but also reflects the values and lifestyles of those who cherish it. While the brand’s foundation is built on clean, simple, and elegant designs, each piece is also a tribute to the community and craftsmanship behind it. Drawing inspiration from the white sands, serene waters, and gentle breeze of the Gulf Coast, our jewelry is crafted to offer a touch of the coast no matter where you are.
The process begins with a deep appreciation for quality. Each design is meticulously handcrafted, combining the best hypoallergenic materials with locally sourced elements. Our coastal-inspired line features sustainably sourced seashells and natural materials from the Gulf Coast, while our contemporary collection uses sleek metals and minimalist chains to create statement pieces that are as durable as they are beautiful.
Our Design Philosophy
At Tide + Terra, we believe that jewelry should be a seamless extension of your lifestyle. Our designs are inspired by the effortless beauty of nature, combining organic elements with clean, modern aesthetics. Each collection is built on the idea that jewelry doesn’t need to be extravagant to make a statement; sometimes, simplicity speaks the loudest.
From delicate pearl drops to bold chain designs, every piece has been carefully considered for its ability to blend into the modern fashionista’s wardrobe. We use high-quality, hypoallergenic materials in each design to ensure that our pieces are not only stylish but also long-lasting and comfortable to wear.
Crafted with Purpose
Our connection to Gulf Shores goes beyond design inspiration—it’s part of who we are. Tide + Terra was born out of a love for the local landscape and a desire to create something that celebrates the beauty and community of the area. We’re proud to source materials locally and work closely with artisans to ensure that every piece is crafted with care.
We’re also passionate about sustainability. In addition to using high-quality, hypoallergenic materials, we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint through sustainable sourcing and production methods. Each piece of jewelry is designed to be timeless, avoiding the need for disposable fashion and ensuring that our items are made to last.
The Story Behind the Name
The name Tide + Terra symbolizes the perfect balance between the elements of sea and land. "Tide" represents the ever-changing nature of the ocean—dynamic, beautiful, and powerful—while "Terra" embodies the grounded strength and stability of the earth. Together, they form a harmonious partnership that mirrors the way our designs combine elegance with boldness, simplicity with impact.
Our coastal pieces—featuring seashells, pearls, and natural materials—pay homage to the sea, while our modern collections draw from the clean lines and sturdy foundations of the earth. This duality is woven into everything we create, offering versatility and sophistication to suit any occasion.
A Personal Touch
Though Tide + Terra remains rooted in its coastal heritage, we believe that the real magic happens in the hands of those who wear it. While we don’t make our brand about one individual, the values of curiosity, creativity, and connection are woven into the fabric of our company.
Our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design is at the core of every decision we make. Each piece is created with the intention of bringing joy and elegance to those who wear it, offering a small reminder of the beauty and tranquility that can be found along the Gulf Coast.
