The Parkers Creek Collection

Maertens Fine Jewelry & Gifts collaborated with the American Chestnut Land Trust to create a collection of jewelry to benefit the organization. The American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT) protects over 3,000 acres of wetlands, forest and farmland in rapidly developing Calvert County, Maryland. The crown jewel of the land trust is Parkers Creek. The Calvert Cliffs and sandy shoreline in the vicinity of the mouth of Parkers Creek look much the same today as they did 400 years ago when Captain John Smith explored the Chesapeake Bay. A visitor today can still paddle a canoe over a mile and a half through unspoiled salt marshes and wooded freshwater wetlands and see little sign of human activity. The Parkers Creek Collection features pendants and bracelets in sterling silver accented with the outline of Parkers Creek. Fifteen percent of the proceeds from the sale of the Parkers Creek Collection are donated to the ACLT to help them continue to conserve land in Calvert County.
