Each pendant is created by hand, so they’re all completely unique. You can choose between silver and gold and blue or white egg-shaped pearls.

Monogram Initial Hexagon Pendant on Paperclip Chain

Sometimes gorgeously simple isn’t as simple as it seems. These monogram initial necklaces are each made from hand-cast bronze and fired in a kiln. Each piece is uniquely handmade. The chain is an elegant paper-clip style chain that’s 14k gold-filled, so it’s hypoallergenic. Chains are 18 inches long, but if you’d prefer a longer necklace you can add an extender here. Because each necklace is handmade to order, please expect 2-4 days before they ship. Get yours here.

Birthstone Cluster Necklaces

The Birthstone Cluster Collection was inspired by nature and the gorgeously imperfect way the world’s gemstones come to us before they’re cut, set and made to look like something completely otherworldly. Each necklace may also be personalized with up to 3 letters in a small circle. Personalized circles are either solid brass or solid polished aluminum. Get yours here.

Hand-Stamped Custom Mantra Cuff

Where would we be without bees? These vital pollinators make the world go round, in a way.

The bee cuffs come in solid cast bronze or solid sterling silver. Each option is nickel-free. The cuff measures six inches from tip to tip, with about a 1.5 inch opening. These cuffs are adjustable.

Bee on a Honeycomb Necklace

My Bee on a Honeycomb Necklace is a tribute to these important insects and depicts a bee landing on a wedge of honeycomb, a warm honey-colored glass bead dripping from its edge. The gold Bee on a Honeycomb Necklace features a solid bronze bee pendant on an approximately 18-inch gold-filled paperclip chain. The silver bee necklace features a solid sterling silver bee pendant on an 18-inch sterling silver paperclip chain. Both versions are nickel free.

Aviary Collection of Bird Jewelry

In my Aviary Collection of jewelry inspired by our feathered friends, I’ve pulled from the legends and histories of some of my favorite birds to create cast bronze and sterling silver tributes to them and the role they’ve played in human lives and storytelling. See the entire collection of bird jewelry here.

Birdhouse Mother Bird and Baby Bird Necklace

Whether you're a mama bird taking care of your brood or an avid birder watching over the nests in your yard, this little birdhouse necklace with a mother bird perched atop its roof and a baby bird popping its head out, mouth open wide for food, is a totem of love and care. This birdhouse necklace was inspired by my own mother, who brought me the idea of a birdhouse necklace, and my mother-in-law, who gave me the birdhouse I used as a model for this pendant. I carved the birdhouse pendant by hand, carefully studying the actual birdhouse I was given and adding all the little details, like woodgrain and corrugated roof. I made the smallest birds I've ever sculpted, one baby bird with its mouth wide open, and one mother bird perched at the roof's peak. The gold-colored birdhouse necklace is a solid bronze pendant on a 14k gold-filled paperclip chain that may be worn from 18 to 20 inches in length (it has a built-in extender). The silver necklace is a solid sterling silver birdhouse pendant on a sterling silver paperclip chain that may be worn from 18 to 20 inches in length (there's a built-in extender on this one, too). Both styles are nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Each necklace comes on an easy-to-gift card back. Get yours here.

Fauna Collection of Animal Jewelry

My Fauna Collection of wildlife jewelry is dedicated to the squirrels who nest inside the hollow of my oak tree, the worm snakes who hide under the oak's fallen leaves, and the snails who forage at its mossy roots. My collection of animal jewelry features squirrel necklaces, armadillo necklaces, frog earrings, possum jewelry, raccoon necklaces, and so much more. See the whole collection of animal jewelry here.

Book and Author Quote Necklace

There aren’t many things as delicious to me as opening a new book, and that is the inspiration behind these little book necklaces that open up to reveal handpicked quotes by some of my favorite authors or can be customized to say something special and important to you or the loved one you’re gifting this necklace to. I drew inspiration from antique book covers and old journal covers when sculpting the front and back cover of this book. I wanted it to feel like a well-loved diary. When you flip open the front cover, there is a page inside on which is a hand-stamped quote, stamped letter by letter, or if you’d rather your book say a short message or secret, there is an option at checkout to input what you would like it to say (please be mindful of the 60 character limit, including spaces, and that no special characters are available). The gold-colored book covers are solid cast bronze with stamped brass pages inside, and the silver-colored books are solid sterling silver covers with a polished stamped aluminum page within. The chains are also customizable, with many decorative rosary chains available in gold-plate as well as a classic 14k gold-filled hypoallergenic cable chain. For sterling silver chains, you may choose between a classic cable chain in sterling silver or a paperclip chain in sterling silver; both options are nickel-free. Standard chains are 18 inches long, but if you would like a longer chain you may add an extender to your order by clicking here. The quotes I have hand-picked are as follows and are available in silver and gold, or you can customize your book page: Order yours here.

Each of these mom bangle bracelets is hand-stamped letter by letter, and each charm added is wire-wrapped by hand. You can choose to add birthstones or little glass heart beads to your cuff. One of my favorite combinations is a tiny glass heart bead with a small glass heart bead, one representing you and one for mom!
