Garnet rose necklace - $130
This necklace features a blooming rose, hand-cut out of silver. In the middle is a red garnet cabochon. It hangs on a sparkly box chain.
Pendant size: appx 15mm across
Chain length: 18 inches
Hydrangea lepidolite necklace - $128
This necklace features a deep lilac-colored lepidolite stone. Lepidolite is a very special gem- it has a beautiful depth and Schiller effect (a shimmer that travels across the surface when you tilt the stone).
On the back of the pendant is a detailed molding of a real hydrangea blossom.
Lepidolite is a fairly delicate stone, so try to store it in a soft, safe place when it's not around your neck. The stones are not all exactly the same color, please see the pictures to view the range of colors you might receive!
The pendant hangs on a decorative bar link chain. Both the pendant and chain are oxidized (darkened) to bring out the details.
Pendant size: 13x17mm
Chain length: 18 inches
Lilac earrings - $113
In the Victorian Language of Flowers, lilacs represented the first emotions of love.

"My love endures after death" wax seal necklace - $112
This pendant was made with a wax seal from France, made in the the early 1800s.
The carving features a lone bird on a branch, with the inscription "Mon amour dure après la mort," which is French for "My love endures after death."
The pendant was made by pressing the seal into melted wax, then casting the wax in sterling silver. Each pendant was stamped individually with the seal, so the overall shape is organic and each one is slightly different. Please note the size of the image and text on this pendant! Antique seals were made much smaller than modern wax seals. Both the pendant and chain are oxidized (darkened) to bring out the details.
Pendant size: 20-24mm across (size varies)
Chain length: 18 inches
Garnet rose ring - $130
This ring features a blooming rose, hand-cut out of silver. In the middle is a red garnet cabochon.
The flower sits on a square split shank ring band.

Boxwood necklace - $126
This pendant was made from a real sprig of boxwood, an evergreen shrub (and the origin of our English word "box").
In England, there was once a tradition of removing Christmas decorations in February and replacing the mistletoe and holly with boughs of boxwood, which would stay there until Easter. It symbolizes a second advent period: the wait for Spring.
Pendant size: 24x40mm
Chain length: 24 inches
