First Light
First Light's Symbolism:
With all dark nights comes a new dawn—a first light to begin anew. Remember, even in moments when we feel ‘off the path,’ we are always being gently guided back. In truth, we were never lost; each step brings us closer to Home.
A buried Sunstone within the ring symbolizes our inner heart, ever-shining through, like a lotus flower blooming through the muddy earth.
Accompanying this is a Herkimer, naturally faceted by the Earth, with subtle markings that reflect the uniqueness of its formation. Just as we are shaped by our journey, the Herkimer carries the beauty of its natural formation, each unique characteristic is a mark of its individuality.
While sitting in meditation, Caitlin (our Founder and Jeweler) received this message for First Light and the sacred chant ‘Om mani padme hum,’ often translated as “The jewel is in the lotus.” This mantra, like the sunstone and Herkimer, is a call to the inner light or deep knowing within us all.
Wear First Light as a talisman, a reminder of the inner light that never fades, guiding you forward - forever on the path home to Self, to Love.

Each Herkimer gemstone is a treasure shaped by the Earth’s hands, with its natural facets formed deep within. Because these stones are left in their natural state, you may notice slight imperfections in the faceting. These small marks are a testament to their journey, much like our own human imperfections—they add character and uniqueness to the stone's beauty. Wear your Herkimer gemstone with pride, knowing that its one-of-a-kind nature mirrors the individuality we all carry!

Care
Jewelry
Each piece of Earth of PRINI jewelry is shaped from materials born of the earth — gemstones, metals, and minerals that carry their own quiet wisdom. Treat them with gentleness and they will accompany you for years to come.
To cleanse your jewelry, softly wipe it with a jeweler’s cloth or a damp, lint-free cloth. Many stones remain in their natural state, untouched by chemical treatments — because of this, please avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh solutions.
Keep your jewelry away from water, heat, perfumes, and lotions when possible. The ocean and the pool may call to you, but your jewelry prefers the shore.
Limited Collection — Gold Plated Jewelry
Gold-plated pieces will slowly evolve with you. Over time, the layer of gold may soften — especially on rings — revealing faint whispers of silver beneath. This gentle transformation is part of its journey, a quiet record of your own.
Herkimer Gemstones
Each Herkimer is a relic of light, formed deep within the earth and left in its natural form. You may see small marks or uneven facets — these are not imperfections but traces of its becoming, much like the stories etched into our own lives.
Clay
Each vessel is an art form, many with their exteriors left in a raw, natural state. While they are technically dishwasher safe, they are fragile and handwashing is best for preserving their beauty and longevity.
