Years ago, when Peter Fischer was just beginning his journey as a jeweler, he took a bold step that would shape the future of Morning Sun Jewelry. Driven by his passion for gemstones and a desire to find the finest materials, Peter set his sights on Tanzania—a country known for its rich deposits of rare and precious stones.
At that time, Peter was still finding his footing in the world of jewelry. But his deep connection to his European heritage and his dream of creating timeless pieces pushed him to take a risk. He traveled to Tanzania, determined to uncover the best stones the country had to offer. Among the gems he sought was Tanzanite, a stone found only near Mount Kilimanjaro. Its deep blue hues captivated Peter, and he made a daring decision—he went all in and purchased a large batch of this precious gemstone.
For a young jeweler, this was a huge gamble. Peter had invested nearly everything he had into this lot of Tanzanite, with the hope that it would pay off. And pay off it did. Almost as if by fate, a buyer emerged who purchased nearly the entire batch of Tanzanite. This sale was Peter’s big break, marking a turning point in his career and setting the stage for the growth of Morning Sun Jewelry.
Back in his workshop in the Sierra Foothills, Peter carefully crafted the remaining stones into jewelry that reflected his love for European elegance and his newfound appreciation for the vibrant beauty of Tanzanian gems. Each piece was a testament to his boldness, his belief in his craft, and his readiness to take risks in pursuit of his dreams.
Today, Morning Sun Jewelry stands as a symbol of Peter’s journey—a journey that began with a leap of faith in the Tanzanian mines and has since taken him to the far corners of the globe. The brand’s legacy is built on moments like these, where passion meets opportunity, and where dreams are realized through hard work and a touch of good fortune.
As Peter reflects on those early days, he often says, “Every piece of jewelry we create tells a story—a story of where it came from and the journey it took to reach our customers.” For Morning Sun Jewelry, that journey began with a young jeweler’s courageous trip to Tanzania, and the rest, as they say, is history.
