As the saying goes...

"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but handmade sandcast silver necklaces can never hurt me."

Or something to that effect, I don't remember exactly!

Recycled silver Pebble studs. These aren't up on my website yet, but as always DM me if you want to grab a pair!

Coffee always makes me ant-sy. 🐜☕ Get it?

Start the day with silver scarab signet and a carpenter ant ring, because you're cooler than everyone else. That's why.

RAFFLE TO SUPPORT CHILDREN NOT NUMBERS!

After over 200 days of watching helplessly as the children of Gaza struggle to survive through incomprehensible pain and suffering, I am doing what I can to make a small difference. With the generosity and talent of a group of artists and artisans, both in the US and the West Bank, I have put together a raffle to raise as much money as possible over the next week. Each entry is $5, please enter if you can. Photos show some of the amazing prizes, but the true purpose of this is to help children get life saving medical access and care through our donation.

To make it easier for you, because who wants to get their cc and enter all the info, you can always just dm me and let me know how many tickets you want, and I'll send you a Venmo request! Or, click the link in my bio to enter.

THANK YOU, AND PLEASE SHARE!!

14k Gold Vermeil snowdrop necklace is in! One of the first flowers to bloom through the frozen ground each year, this flower is the perfect symbol of hope and rebirth, reminding us how fragile and delicate strength sometimes looks.

Dragonfly wings are ready for Spring!

Scarab beetles have symbolized renewal and rebirth sine ancient times, and this necklace acts as a reminder that we can always start over. We can always recreate ourselves and our circumstances. Renewal is always possible, we are not stuck.

I finally have this piece live on my site, and it's available in 14k Gold vermeil (pictured) and sterling silver. We all need a reminder to hold on to hope these days.

Stardust studs for some everyday sparkle. 🌟

This celestial texture is made with the metal dust that I collect while sawing at my bench, nothing goes to waste here!

Cheers to Friday!

I hope your weekend is full of dreams as big as mine; like braving Ikea with all three kids and coming out with a specific flat packed shelving unit and some refrigerator organizing containers.

In my dream, the kids are all well behaved and helpful. I can almost see us happily laughing over open-faced shrimp sandwiches as we imbibe the sweet nectar of lingenberries and watch couples fight to within an inch of divorce as they attempt to navigate a crowd while carrying a rolled up carpet.

I know, my dreams shine too bright for this world!

As someone with a terrible memory, this is so true for me. Beyond remembering in general the way that I felt around a person, I have only the most meaningless and random anecdotes in my brain. ⁠
⁠
I am so envious of people with good, or even average memories. It must be like having a super power.

When I tell you these dragonfly wing earrings are my absolute favorites to wear, I mean that I pretty much only wear these every day. Whether I'm dressing "nice" (heavy on the quotations), or wearing a hoody and torn jeans, these are the earrings that make me feel more pulled together.

My pair went through the washer and dryer the other day, because I'm me and do that kind of stuff all the time. They came out shinier than ever.

They are delicate, whimsical, and half off today and tomorrow only (black friday / small business saturday).
