The Power of Pearls® Foundation -
Treasure Bay Jewelry® believes in giving back!
At Treasure Bay Jewelry®, we believe in the Power of Pearls. Our commitment to giving back has inspired us to create a line of stunning pearl jewelry designed to be eye catching and alluring. A portion of each sale from The Power of Pearls® products will be donated towards the charities we are supporting. Charities include but are not limited too; cancer research and prevention, Alzheimer’s disease, marine environmental restoration, and coastal beach protection to name a few.
Why pearls? Pearls are truly magical! Starting out as nothing more than a small irritant, typically a grain of sand lodged inside a mussel or oyster shell, the mollusk secretes a substance called nacre to the offending particle over and over again. The result? One of nature’s most perfect creations – the pearl! What better metaphor could we possible use to illustrate the universal experience of overcoming obstacles than this simple natural process? Just as nature has found a way around a potential problem, together we can find ways to surmount irritants to our health and to our environment.
Currently we have three lines in the Power of Pearls® collection,
We Care®, MOP Up© and Surfs Up©.
We Care® Jewelry
At one point or another in most of our lives, we personally encounter a brush with breast cancer, or hear of a friend or family member who’s been stricken with the disease. Support for one another is crucial in the battle against breast cancer and other cancers afflicting both men and women.
As an emblem of caring and support, Treasure Bay Jewelry® has created the We Care® jewelry line. By purchasing one of these personalized products, you’re quietly showing your support for those around you who may be living with cancer themselves. We Care® products, are a caring reminder of the love and support that family, friends, and the community shares for them.

Mop Up!© Jewelry
The Mop Up© jewelry line supports MOP (The Massachusetts Oyster Project). The Massachusetts Oyster Project for Clean Water is a non-profit organization that is restoring water cleansing oysters to the estuaries of Boston Harbor. Each oyster can filter 30 gallons of water per day, removing nitrogen, bacteria and silt from the water column while fixing carbon dioxide that fights global warming. Oyster reefs also serve as a keystone to the coastal environment with over 200 other species using them as a shelter including shrimp, crabs, lobsters and small fish. To learn more or get involved, you can visit them on the internet at www.massoyster.org.
