Pearls

Friday, October 14, 2016

Pearls are one of the oldest known gems and for many centuries it was considered the most valuable. Unlike most gems, it is organic matter derived from a living creature. The pearl is the symbol of purity and innocence. Check out this amazing combination by our friends at BVLA. It is freshwater pearl set in a solid 14k yellow gold crown setting! The left image is a navel curve and the right image are studs (only sold in a pair) but both are available at the shop!14741659_10207082220843714_1625096637_n

Natural Beauty

Monday, July 11, 2016

We are in love with this combination for their very organic form and everyone loves the raw beauty of antlers and skulls! Both animals symbolize powers in nature that are not easily subdued.

The deer was sacred to the feisty goddess Artemis and antlers are a beautiful representation of regeneration and growth.

The coyote is a reminder to not take things to seriously and they show us a balance between wisdom and playfulness.

These stunning white brass weights represent our woodland friends perfectly and they are both available today!

Cool Beans

Tuesday, June 14, 2016

The vanilla bean plant grows in Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. Natives indigenous to the region understood the special qualities of vanilla for many centuries. When the Europeans arrived, they soon discovered the amazing plant, its medicinal uses and how to use it with food and beverages.

Other than its near ubiquitous use in many baked goods, vanilla was used for centuries to help heal wounds. It can also be used to relieve mild anxiety, and many tales from as far back as the Aztecs purport the bean is a powerful male aphrodisiac and also assists with weight loss.

These brass beauties are the perfect representation of this adorable bean. Adorn yourself in nature with this very unique combination of earrings with matching necklace! They are in the shop today! COOL BEANS!!
