All of our Gems are natural and variations occur, though we chose only the finest for our finished works high standards to be maintained.
A natural, oxidizing patina is applied to the Sterling in the creative process and is lightly hand brushed off for a matte finish, creating personal amulets with a treasure feel.
A unique amulet to connect one with all things magical about summer evenings and hopefully delight and please for many years to come. Crafted for women as well as men.
"We are inspired by details of our surroundings and Nature is a constant source of inspiration. We strive to find the poetry in everyday elements and work to distill their essence in precious metal and gems. A reverence for the history of adornment informs our design choices. We create our artworks in Sterling and Gold sheet metal and wire, from sketches in our journals of observations. We work to create personal talismans, that exude the sublime beauty found in details of the great outdoors, and hopefully nurture a connection with Nature." -- Teresa and Brie
