Unveiling the History, Luxury, and Exquisite Partnerships

Hey there, it's Kim, and I'm happy to invite you on a journey deep into the heart of a place that holds a special space in my own heart – the enchanting Ojai Valley Inn. While our usual explorations delve into the realms of gemstones, art, community, ceremony, healing, and self-care, today's adventure uncovers a new chapter, revealing the enchantment of Ojai Valley Inn.

This marks the beginning of a monthly rendezvous where we'll uncover the tales behind each remarkable property that houses The Art of Ceremony, our beloved jewelry line. From the serene mountains of Deer Valley to the oceanic embrace of Hawaii, the tranquil oasis of Miraval in the desert, to the iconic Canyon Ranch – each has a unique story waiting to unfold. Join me over the next few months as we embark on this journey through landscapes that breathe life into our jewelry.

Nestled in the bohemian enclave of Ojai, California, the Ojai Valley Inn has been a luxurious retreat since 1923, embodying the relaxed glamour of California's past. Just 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, the resort gazes upon untouched natural beauty, setting the stage for an unparalleled experience quintessentially Ojai.

But Ojai is more than a resort; it's a tapestry woven with history. The Ancient Chumash Indians settled here over 10,000 years ago, believing the valley holds mystical powers. Even today, many still sense Ojai's energy – a 'vortex,' as some call it – an unseen force concentrated by the unique positioning of the mountain range. The Pink Moment, a rare spectacle bathing the Topatopa bluffs in brilliant pink during sunset, adds a touch of magic that draws visitors year after year.

And within this enchanted landscape, you'll discover more gems – not just of the mineral variety. The artist-in-residence program breathes life into Ojai's creativity, the apothecary crafts potions inspired by the surrounding nature, and the spa, a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation, houses a curated collection of The Art of Ceremony's jewelry, weaving gemstones into compelling stories.

So, whether you're captivated by the rich history, the mystical energy, the artistic vibes, the apothecary's potions, the rejuvenating spa, or the allure of The Farmhouse at Ojai Valley Inn, there's something undeniably special about this place. It's not just a destination; it's an experience, and I'm genuinely excited to share a glimpse of it with you.
