About our Jewelry

Hand-crafted, hand-chosen

Each individual piece is hand-crafted and hand-chosen directly from our local artists (including my own), then featured in our online boutique. Many semi-precious gemstones—turquoise, amethyst, moonstone—have long been cherished not only for their beauty but also for their metaphysical properties.

Each stone is believed to carry its own unique energy, offering qualities like calm, balance, protection, intuition, or clarity. Whether you're drawn to a stone for its meaning or its color, we're happy to help you choose a piece that aligns with the intention or energy you wish to invite into your life.

Our materials

Thoughtfully sourced, beautifully made

Dichroic Glass

Dichroic Glass

Originally created by NASA in the 1950s and '60s for space optics, this material protected astronauts and spacecraft from the sun's harmful rays. It displays one color when light passes through it and a different color when reflected, creating stunning, iridescent effects. Each piece is a singular expression—completely unique, just like you.

Tagua Nut

Tagua Nut

A plant alternative to ivory from the rain forests of South America. It's a large hard nut that can be cut, shaped, and sculpted into many different artistic designs. It polishes beautifully and ages gracefully like ivory. Tagua is a renewable resource—by using it in our designs, we help support people living in or near the rain forests. If forests are harvested for their nuts, they become more valuable than when harvested for timber. Please help join us in preserving them.

Care: Rub with a little oil to keep its soft luster. Never wear in the shower, hot-tub, or swimming pool.

Rhodium-Plated Jewelry

Rhodium-Plated Jewelry

Beloved for its brilliant, mirror-like finish and lasting beauty. Rhodium provides a protective layer that enhances shine, resists tarnish, and helps jewelry maintain its fresh, polished look over time. This luminous coating elevates each piece and adds durability for everyday wear—a beautiful and practical choice you can enjoy with confidence.

Sterling Silver

Sterling Silver

Prized for its natural beauty and exceptional workability, allowing artisans to create intricate, finely detailed designs. Sterling silver is thoughtfully alloyed with a small amount of copper to enhance strength for everyday wear—increasing durability while preserving its luminous color and elegance. The value of a sterling silver piece reflects the artistry behind it: the time invested, the skill of the craftsperson, and the complexity of the design.
