Harbor East is adding a touch of Southern California style with the arrival tomorrow, Aug. 16, of Gorjana, a jewelry brand based in Laguna Beach.

The brand will open its 1,350-square-foot store at the corner of Aliceanna and South Exeter Streets. Known for its gold and gold-plated pieces featuring diamonds, opals, and sapphires, Gorjana is the latest addition to the neighborhood’s lineup of high-end retailers.

Inside the store, expect interiors featuring blush terrazzo flooring, custom artwork and natural light. Customers will also meet in-store stylists who curate looks to match their personal style.

Shoppers can choose from a variety of gold, sterling silver, rose-gold, and gold-plated brass necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings that range from moderately to high-priced. Since its founding in 2004, Gorjana has built a reputation for jewelry pieces that can be mixed, matched, and layered.

“We are thrilled to welcome Gorjana to Harbor East,” said Tim O’Donald, President of Harbor East Management, in a statement. “Their presence reinforces our neighborhood as a prime destination for nationally recognized brands expanding into the Baltimore market.”

The new location marks Gorjana’s second store in Maryland. Its Bethesda location opened in 2021. As one of the brand’s 80 stores nationwide, the Harbor East shop is part of Gorjana’s expansion across the country.

Alo Yoga and Playa Bowls are also slated to open in Harbor East by the end of 2024.
