myaphrodite's Profile

Bio

I'm 33 and a part-time SAHM with a 1 year old daughter. Born and raised in western Maryland and educated in northern Indiana, I now live with my husband and lovely little girl in Buckinghamshire, England.

What influences the jewelry?. Fantastical stories in particular. My shelves are crammed with lush, illustrated faerie tales and sweeping epic trilogies like Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials , Lord of the Rings , and Garth Nix's The Old Kingdom . It's the love of stories such as this that drove me to want to adorn myself with them. To make jewelry as potent and sumptuous as the stories that inspire me. See if you spot anything that inspires you.

All of my jewelry is made with Sterling silver which is an alloy of silver and copper. Pure silver is extremely soft and easily scratched and bent, so Sterling is a popular alternative for more durable jewelry.

I use real gemstones in all of my work except where otherwise stated. I believe real gems have a significant weight, feel and lustre to them that glass does not. Any piece of jewelry can be fitted with stones other than the ones pictured!

All items come with a 1 year warranty covering the body of the piece. (excluding chains)
