Measuring 1 and 1/4 inches in length from the tops of the sterling silver earwires, these lovely, flowery earrings are perfect for everyday wear.
These little coral-colored cabochons carry a quietly fascinating history: many were made not in factories but by rice farmers in their homes and then exported to America as part of the effort to help rebuild Japan’s economy after World War II. That means this piece is not only lovely to wear but also holds a little story of resilience and care.

I was wandering through my garden, noticing the flowers entering their last phase of bloom before fall arrives, and found myself wanting to hold onto that fleeting bit of summer—the riot of color, the abundance, and the beauty of flowers that won't be there much longer.
That feeling became this one-of-a-kind necklace: a joyful gathering of hand-fabricated and cast sterling silver flowers, colorful gemstones, and vintage pressed glass that bring together the rich, unexpected colors I was seeing in the garden.
It’s my way of capturing and preserving a little of the beauty of those last days of summer.
Materials: Sterling silver, chalcedony, amethyst, kyanite, carnelian, sapphire, vintage pressed glass
Size: 19 ¼ inches in length
Closure: hand forged shepherd’s hook

Poppies have always meant so much to me—they're about remembrance, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to bloom in the toughest places. I think we all need a little reminder that we're stronger than we think.
Inspired by Art Nouveau jewelry, this sterling silver poppy pendant started as a single, flat sheet of metal. I hand-carved it, gently removing the silver until the flowers revealed themselves. Once I was happy with the shape, I smoothed and polished it, added a delicate texture throughout, and finished it with a black patina that makes all the tiny details I've worked into the metal really shine.
The poppies hang from a delicate sterling silver chain measuring 18 inches in length with a lobster claw closure. I am happy to alter the chain length at no extra charge. Simply send me your preferred length after checkout and allow me one day to make the change before shipping.
Making it was a labor of love—carved by hand with intention.

Years ago I had a stint as a tattoo artist, and by far the most requested motif was the sacred heart. It means different things to different people, but today, when I see one, a smile creeps across my face at the memories of my time helping people wear a part of their story.
This pale blue glass stone has a delicate intaglio of a classic sacred heart. It’s subtle, but in the right light it asserts itself and gives the piece a whole new dimension.
It’s set in sterling silver and hangs from an 18 inch sterling chain with a shepherd’s hook closure. I am happy to alter the chain length at no extra charge. Simply send me your preferred length after checkout and allow me one day to make the change before shipping.
