elemental collection

My elemental collection is inspired by places which bring me back to self. Where I go to seek refuge, ground myself, focus on my breath, cleanse myself of anxiety and renew my energy. Most of these places exist in liminal spaces, where sky meets water and turns to mist, trees grow from the dirt reaching towards the sky, where water flows towards sandy earth and ebbs back into itself again and where flowers and grasses dance along the horizon.

This all started with my tidal collection. Searching the shores of New England for pebbles, shells, dried seaweed and driftwood is a wonderfully rich sensory experience for me. The sound of waves rolling in fills my spirit with ease. Watching the sunshine bouncing off waves or dappling through tide pools warms me, on even the coldest of days. The smell of salty air awakens my lungs, relaxing me. Looking down where the ocean rolls to the shore pebbles that have a little inclusion or lines of different colors in them are what catch my eye. My hands follow, fingers pass over their tumbled smoothness, happily coming across an uneven edge knowing this pebble has a bigger part in this body of water it rolled in from. The weight of pebbles in my hands grounds me as I gather different shapes, hoping to capture sense of calm in metal. With this, I give you the Tidal Collection. I hope you find comfort wearing these pieces and their colors, organic shapes, different weights and sizes remind you of how soothing the water is. May your fiddling hands enjoy their subtle textures.

the tidal collection is in stock and ready to ship in 1-3 business days. more work based on the elements will be added from time to time as it will expand with my spiritual growth. my approach to this collection rises and falls with the waves, as do my memories of times spent walking the sandy earth. thanks for your appreciation of this collection. xo, kim

pebble drop earrings

pebble drop earrings

from $88.00

Pebble drop earrings have a little weight which allows them to gracefully move with you, like pebbles rolling in with waves and being drawn back into the tide. Bronze and silver pebbles are soldered to sterling silver chain which suspends from french ear wires. They vary in length from about 2.5 inches to 2.75 inches long. Each pebble has an organic shape and irregularities, just as you’d find them scattered in the sand, and measure about 0.25 inches round.

I’ve made these in bronze, which looks like a fleck of sunlight reflecting in a pool of water, and sterling silver to look like the monochromatic pebbles found on the shore. Bronze drops are brushed with a satin finish and come with either oxidized (blackened) or satin chain and ear wires. These pebbles have a coat of renaissance wax to help keep them a deep, golden hue. Silver pebbles are completely handmade from silver scrap which I melted then sanded to a refined surface, creating the texture of a rock polished by the earth. Sterling silver pebbles also come in oxidized or satin finishes. (see last photo for options)

thank you for looking at this limited collection. may it bring you fond memories of bright days by the water! xo, kim
