Brent Neale Celebrates Blackberry Farm’s Anniversary With Jewelry
The jeweler partnered with the Tennessee resort to honor its 50th anniversary with limited-edition blackberry pendants and earrings.
The “Blackberry” pendants are made in 18-karat yellow gold and use carved black onyx for the fruit and emeralds for the sepal ($8,950).
Tennessee—New York-based jewelry brand Brent Neale has partnered with Blackberry Farm, a Tennessee resort, to celebrate its 50th anniversary with limited-edition jewelry.
Brent Neale, the designer behind her eponymous brand, designed pieces that draw from the beauty and warmth of the luxury Relais & Châteaux resort while staying true to her whimsical, nature-inspired style.
“I’ve had friends get married there, and we just had a client of ours propose there! It’s such a special spot that takes such wonderful care of the clients and treats them with the utmost hospitality,” said Neale.
“To me, creating a special piece just for them made total sense. I think we have a lot of synergy and client overlap. The end goal for both of us is to make sure the client is happy and wants to come back to see us again!”
The anniversary pieces include pendants and earrings.
Both designs depict a blackberry with its sepal (the leaves) made of 18-karat yellow gold and emeralds. However, the material used to create the fruit is different in each style.
For the pendants, the blackberry is made in carved black onyx, while the earrings feature berries made of 18-karat yellow gold with black rhodium and black diamonds.

Fruit designs have been popular in jewelry for the last year.
During Couture this year, Uniform Object exhibited strawberry necklaces, and Karina Choudhrie had a pair of berry rings.
Monica Rich Kosann also debuted her “Enchanted Garden” series of cherry, lemon, and pear necklaces that open to reveal the inside of each fruit.
Last summer, Jessica McCormack launched her “Fruit Salad” capsule, while Cece Jewellery released “For the Love of Fruits.”
Brent Neale’s “Blackberry” pendants retail for $8,950, and the “Blackberry” earrings retail for $3,450.
The limited-edition pieces are exclusively available at Blackberry Farm, located at 1471 West Millers Cove Road in Walland, Tennessee.
