October 2024 preview: Poison

Here is a preview of the upcoming collection! These will be in the shop at 4 pm eastern time on October 19. 

Witch seal pendant - $112

This pendant was made with a wax seal from the 1840s. It shows a witch riding a broomstick with the words "All have their hobbies."

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. 

Pendant size: appx. 18x20mm

Chain length: 18 inches 


Garnet point ring - $86

This ring features an oval blood-red garnet. The stone is set between two points of silver that come together in a double band. 

Sizes available (US): 5.5, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 9 

Band width: 2.5mm

Stone size: 4x6mm


Deadly nightshade necklace - $68

 

Belladonna (deadly nightshade) was once said to be an ingredient in a witch's "flying ointment," a hallucinogenic mixture of herbs that allowed the witch to fly. Some thought it caused literal flight, but some considered it only to be spiritual flight. 

This necklace features a black freshwater pearl resembling a nightshade berry, in the center of a silver flower. The pendant hangs from a toggle clasp, so the chain closes in the front. 

Pendant size: 13mm across

Chain length: 18 inches


Hydrangea earrings - $82

These earrings feature impressions of real hydrangea blossoms on kite-shaped pieces of silver. Every earring uses a different flower for the impression, so each one is unique. 

The flower is oxidized (darkened) to bring out to the details. 

Size: 15mm wide, 23mm tall


Curio locket - $280

 

This locket is designed to hold a small curiosity like a dried flower. There is a glass cabochon in the front that slightly magnifies what's inside. 

The round box of the pendant has an elegant floral design around the outside. The locket swivels open at the top and clasps shut at the bottom. As with all locket clasps, try not to play with it too much to avoid wearing it down over time. 

I will send you a set of dried flowers to put inside! The pendant is not watertight, but as long as you keep them dry then dried flowers do not rot or wither over time. 

Pendant size: 21mm across

Inside diameter: 18mm

Chain length: 24 inches 


Lily of the valley ring - $130

This ring features a tiny hand-formed lily of the valley, set behind a window of clear quartz. The quartz dome acts like a magnifying glass on the flower, and it looks slightly different as you look at it from various angles. 

Sizes available (US): 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8

Stone size: 12x12mm

Band width: 3.5mm


Snakeskin pendant - $160

This pendant features a snakeskin agate specimen. The surface of this gem looks just like snakeskin, but it's actually a fossil that comes from the mouth of a prehistoric wrasse fish. The fish had tiny button-shaped teeth on the roof of its mouth, and the gem is cut from a cross-section of those teeth. 

The agate is wrapped in a hand-formed snake with a hammered texture. 

These stones are hard to find in such good quality! There will only be two, and you can choose between #1 (the lighter stone) and#2 (the darker stone).

Pendant size:  22x22 mm

Chain length: 20 inches


Amber Centipede necklace - $195

 

This pendant features a piece of Burmese amber with a real prehistoric centipede inside. There is also a fragment of leaf skeleton behind the millipede. The Burmese amber deposit is roughly 100 million years old, which means that this millipede walked the earth along with dinosaurs! 

The amber has a shiny silver backing, so at the right angle it reflects the light and illuminates the inclusions inside. 

The pendant hangs from a shiny chain made of flattened bar links. 

Pendant size: 23mm across, 36mm tall

Chain length: 24 inches


Amber spider necklace - $195

 This pendant features a piece of Burmese amber with a real prehistoric spider inside. The Burmese amber deposit is roughly 100 million years old, which means that this spider walked the earth along with dinosaurs! 

The amber has a shiny silver backing, so at the right angle it reflects the light and illuminates the inclusions inside. 

The spider is very small, you can see it in the upper left of the stone

The pendant hangs from a shiny chain made of flattened bar links. 

Pendant size: 10mm wide, 25mm tall

Chain length: 20 inches

Oleander is a popular garden flower, and also extremely poisonous. This pendant features a hand-carved oleander flower and leaves. It hangs on a shiny box chain.
