Welcome to our historically inspired range, The Titans!
Introducing HESTIA:
Hestia was the Goddess of the hearth and fireside in the ancient Greek pantheon. She was the Goddess of the home, family life, and the wider community of the state. She was the first born child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, and became one of the twelve Olympian deities worshipped in ancient Greek culture. Hestia tended the sacred fire on Mount Olympus, and the public sacred hearths throughout the land were dedicated to her. A flame from her sacred fire would be carried to light the sacred fire in every new settlement.
Carnelian glows with a rich, flame-like quality, in shades of orange through to rust red. It is associated with increased personal energy and creativity, and is therefore believed to tend the fire in each of us. The fiery tones bring a rich, warming glow to any look.
My greatest inspiration as a designer maker is the magic and mystery of the ancient classical world. My beaded 'Hera' collection was my first collection, and its wonderful to revisit the colour and legends of the Ancient Greek and Roman pantheons. Our 'Atlas' and 'Olympus' styles were the first, and we are so excited to be adding further Gods and Goddesses to the range.
Our beaituful 'Hestia' earrings are made from solid brass, and semi precious Carnelian spheres, in beautiful Cornwall. The brass is hand beaten on a series of anvils, the oldest of which is around 170 years old, giving a uniquely shimmering texture like no other. They are listed in both a gold plated French hook, or a gold plated stud version.
All our jewellery is plastic free, as are our postage and packaging materials. We are always working towards greater and greener consciousness in everything we do. Our beaten brass is solid and raw, and can be left to patina naturally over time, or kept to a golden shine by buffing after wear with the free polishing cloth provided.
We are a small team of working Mums based in rural Cornwall. We work flexibly around our children, look after each other, and we love our job. Thank you for supporting us.
