Handcrafted Soulful Jewelry. Worn to revel in the freedom of being authentically you.
ENDURING REMINDERS
Soulful jewelry that hearkens to a bygone era. Handcrafted collections imbued with lyrical imagery, timeless messages, and enchanting gemstones in sterling silver and 14k gold. Worn to revel in the freedom of being authentically you.
HELLO AND WELCOME!
You are someone who creates their own story. You’re unapologetically you. You embrace where you’ve been. And you’re intentional about where you’re going.
You're perfectly imperfect, warm and kind, forthright and genuine. A creative problem solver, you're quick to laugh at yourself. You brag about the people you love and lift those around you. You're delightfully authentic and unexpected, a bright light.
But sometimes your light flickers a bit. You are human after all. Any one of us can forget who we are amid daily demands, challenging life events, or difficulties we’re striving to overcome. It’s easy to lose yourself. And when you do, you can pull away from life.
That's why I began designing jewelry that calls you back to yourself. That’s where love and creativity begins. Using nature as my muse, I hand carve wearable botanical sculptures. Each piece is a reminder of nature’s promise of new beginnings, transformation, connection, and growth.
Wearing jewelry imbued with symbolism gathered from plants and flowers, and handwritten messages of love and encouragement informed by sentimental jewelry of a bygone era inspires you to come home to yourself. Each piece is created as a touchstone, reassuring you that what you seek comes from within. And it’s been there all along.
Because hanging back in the shadows won’t result in reaping the rewards of a life well-lived.
So remember to embrace yourself in all your glory and imperfections. Renew yourself again and again. Tend to your garden and you will cultivate love and belonging, magic and creativity. Feeling at home with yourself, you form more genuine connections with others, leaving the world better than you found it, just as you were meant to do.
Warmly,
Kristin

GENUINELY AND LOCALLY HANDCRAFTED
We use lost wax casting and time honored metalsmithing techniques to make our jewelry. I carve my original designs by hand in wax. Then we transform my detailed studies of the natural world into wearable sculptures using the ancient art of lost wax casting. We handcraft our jewelry from start to finish in our family run studio in Washington, across the Columbia River from Portland, OR.
We delight in the subtle imperfections and organic nature that lost wax casting can produce. These are makers marks; evidence that each piece has been made by our own hands, infusing warmth and genuineness into meaningful jewelry that celebrates your story.
HEIRLOOM QUALITY JEWELRY
We believe in crafting heirloom quality jewelry. Jewelry becomes an heirloom because of its value, quality, beauty, and the story behind the piece. We create jewelry that tells your story, holds your history, and expresses your values and beliefs. We specialize in sentimental jewelry made to be worn for a lifetime, loved, and passed down.
SHOP PRACTICES
We are committed to practices that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. We look at how and where the materials we use are made or sourced, and how far they need to travel. Our jewelry is made with reclaimed, sterling silver and gold, ethically sourced in the USA. In addition, we recycle all of our scrap metal. Our diamonds and gemstones are conflict free. Our focus is on making quality jewelry that will be yours to treasure for years to come.

5 out of 5 starsI ordered this leaf ring as well as the stacking pollen rings and both look exactly as pictured and arrived right on time! They are beautifully designed and great quality, plus Kristin was very communicative and helpful. I plan to give them as gifts (though seeing them in person, I’m sorely tempted to keep them for myself lol), so I appreciate the way everything is packaged so nicely.

5 out of 5 starsMy wife was browsing Etsy for camellia items as she is a member of the Coastal Carolina Camellia Society and loves camellias. She showed me this. So glad I bought this. She loves it. It is shown like we do at a camellia show with one leaf. Absolutely beautiful. Wrapped beautifully and ready for me to put in stocking. Really nice note too. Thank you so much.

HANDWRITING / CUSTOM ORDERS

SIZING HELP FOR RINGS
For the most accurate size go to any jewelry counter for a measurement. It is helpful to measure for the width of the ring as well as the diameter. If you know the width of the ring band for the ring you'd like, be sure to tell the person doing the measurement. You may measure a size 7 for a ring with a thin band, but a 7 1/2 or 8 for a ring with a wide band.
SIZING HELP FOR BRACELETS
1. Measure your wrist just below the wrist bone, where one would normally wear a bracelet, with a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper.
2. If you are using a plain strip of paper, measure it with a ruler to determine your wrist size.
3. Add 1/4" to 1" (average is 1/2") to your wrist size, depending on whether you would like a snug, comfort, or loose fit. This is the ideal bracelet length for you.
SIZING HELP FOR NECKLACES
The following are necklace lengths we offer, and where they fall on the average female. If you are interested in other lengths, just ask.
16" Wraps loosely around the neck, also known as a choker.
18" Sits at the collar bone, the most common length, known as a princess necklace, Even though it is longer than a choker, the necklace sits close to the neck. If the necklace has a charm, it will lie above the breast bone.
20" Sits just below the collar bone, but above the neckline. Referred to as a matinee.
Men’s styles may require a longer chain. We recommend 20" or 22" as standard chain lengths for men.
CARE AND KEEPING
All of our pieces are made using sterling silver, bronze, and 14k gold that have been oxidized for an aged appearance and given a satin finish. Over time, metals will naturally darken.
To restore the luster of your jewelry use the polishing pad included with your purchase, or a soft felt polishing cloth like Sunshine, and gently rub the piece.
Please do not use liquid, gel, or other natural cleaners on your jewelry. Doing so may remove the aged finish. Chlorine and bleach accelerate tarnishing, and should be avoided. Apply perfume and lotion before putting on your jewelry.
ABOUT STERLING SILVER
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver is composed of 925 parts of pure silver and 75 parts alloy, usually copper. Copper provides the silver with sufficient hardness which gives it strength and wearability. We use nickel free sterling silver that has been reclaimed and recycled.
STERLING SILVER VS PURE SILVER OR FINE SILVER
Pure or fine silver is 99.9% silver, is much softer than sterling silver, and is often considered not practical to wear as everyday jewelry. We do not use Precious Metal Clay (PMC), fine silver, or pure silver. We use sterling silver for it's strength.
ABOUT 14K GOLD & BRONZE
ABOUT 14K GOLD
We use 14k gold, the most popular choice in the US. It is 58.3% gold and is ideal for fine jewelry. Alloys of copper and silver, mixed with pure gold gives 14k gold it's strength and warmth. We use 14k gold that has been reclaimed and recycled.
ABOUT BRONZE
Bronze has been used in jewelry making since antiquity. An alloy consisting of 92% copper and 8% tin, it is a beautiful, economic alternative to gold. Because its composition can vary, discrepancies in color can occur. We do not use bronze chain because we cannot guarantee a color match with the bronze we use for making our charms and pendants. Bronze charms and pendants are hung on solid sterling silver chain. We use bronze that has been reclaimed and recycled.
