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

sand + stone necklace no.2

sand + stone necklace no.2

$150.00

sand + stone is a limited collection comprised of one of a kind pieces. it is an exploration of stones I’ve collected from the liminal spaces of New England’s shores. each piece contains an outline of a stone sawn out of silver sheet, which is textured like that of the sandy shore I found it on.

this one of a kind sand + stone necklace is made of sterling silver chain, natural agate beads in a light matte finish and closes with a handmade clasp. the beads are 6mm and 8mm in size and move along the couple inches of rope chain they are strung on. the beaded chain between the agate, shimmers like sun reflecting off the water. the movement, color of the stones, texture of chain and the silver stone element I added are all reminiscent of textures and colors we observe at the beach, along with the ebb and flow of the tide. it measure about 18.5 inches. as you can see in the last two photos, it lands in an organic way from the weight of the beads.

I hope this collection reminds you of peaceful days by the shore, feet sinking in the sand, with warm sun on your shoulders.
