Secret Drop (Summerberry Tea Collection)

July 12, 2023 ·

Pssst!! Surprise release of a very limited collection now in the shop!

A few months ago, I had a collection comprised of berry red garnet, leafy sprig detailing, and little sterling berries: the Winterberry Tea Collection.

Afterwards, I had so many requests for more and quickly ran out of commission space.

So I decided to make a handful more with all the remaining garnets, and this time with earrings.

I just loved making these, they are so dark and broody on the hand, like a cup of dark tea.

But then when you hold the rings up to the light to allow the light to pass through the back of the stone, they positively sing.

The earrings though seem to always glow, they are so joyous!

(I suppose they should be called Summerberry Tea Collection though.)

Here is the direct link to where you can find them, if you’d like to take a look.

I wanted to give my newsletter subscribers and blog readers a bit of a headstart since this offering is so limited.

I will let everyone know on social media about this surprise offering Thursday evening if there are still some pieces available.

Cheers!

(And please let me know if you like this method of collection releases. I like the idea of serendipity and the stars aligning for pieces to find their way to people, and would love to know your thoughts on secret releases announced via newsletter.)

Wisps of gray smoke and layered crackled stone, like any rough quartz plucked from a riverbed. But then you tilt them just the right way, and they conjure up the most brilliant flash and swirl of color.

With a cup of midnight oil and equal parts autumn With a cup of midnight oil and equal parts autumn air drifting through the window, I am nearly ready to photograph these Memento Mori pieces for you! 

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on the poll in my stories, it looks like it is nearly equal requests for necklaces and earrings. 

I won't be able to make enough for everyone who voted in the poll, but I have the gemstones for about 10 necklaces and 8 pairs of earrings. 

Keep an eye out for a preview on the blog/newsletter! I think this one will be a quick one without too much lead up, in hopes of getting these spooky little lovelies to you as soon as possible.

💙💀 Call for ring sizes, all you ghostly gals 💙💀 Call for ring sizes, all you ghostly gals and October souls! 💀💙

This year's only Nocturne design will be the petite version of the Memento Mori ring.

Crackling blue and soft green labradorite coffin gemstones set amidst a twining vine border and a single flower laid at the base.

Inside the ring band are the Latin words
"Memento Mori" which translates roughly to "remembrance of death" or "remember you must die." These serve are encouragement to not wast a moment of your life. 

They are set atop a narrow rectangle band that fit true to size. 

If you'd like there to be a ring in your size during the release, call out your size below and I will take a tally! 

Hoping to ship before the end of the month, which with autumn vigor and jugs of cider, I should be able to accomplish. 💀💙⚰️👻🎃
