About MERC

Redefining Luxury Pearls with an Edge

At MERC, we believe that pearls are not just for the traditional, but for those who dare to embrace their individuality and defy conventions. Founded in 2015 by Dominic Stewart, a Jamaican-born designer hailing from the vibrant neighborhoods of Harlem and the Bronx, MERC is a celebration of unique style, inspired by the raw energy of early 90's and 2000's Hip Hop, Rock, and Grunge Rock.

Our brand is a powerful representation of the outcasts, underdogs, and rebels who refuse to conform. We believe that luxury should be inclusive and expressive, allowing everyone to make a statement through their jewelry choices. That's why we have created a collection of luxury pearls that break the mold and embody the essence of individuality.

Each piece in our collection is meticulously designed to challenge the norms and captivate the imagination. From skulls adorned with the American flag to skulls with fierce mohawks and heart charms, our designs seamlessly blend edginess with sophistication, offering a unique expression of style that resonates with the youth of America.

We take pride in our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every pearl is carefully selected and every charm thoughtfully created, ensuring that each piece tells a story and exudes the rebellious spirit that defines MERC.

Join us on this journey as we redefine luxury pearls and empower you to embrace your true self. Explore our collection and discover the perfect piece that speaks to your individuality, allowing you to stand out from the crowd and make a bold statement.

Welcome to MERC, where luxury meets rebellion, and pearls become extraordinary works of art.

Dare to be different.
