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 + stones necklace no. 2

$196.00

the newest addition to my tidal collection further explores textures, shapes and colors we observe while walking the shores of New England beaches. shells with swirls of peach, stones with golden streaks and edges tumbled in the sand and surf, the orange glow of the sunset reflecting off the water, ripples in the tide when one skips stones, ribbons of seaweed left behind in the sand from the last high tide. all of these elements are captured in this necklace.

beaded chain looks like a rock jumping through the glass-like surface of a calm sea. contours of stones collected from the sandy shores are cut from sheets of bronze and silver. agate beads in shades of peach, orange and white with brown inclusions symbolize the sunsets, shells and seaweed.

this necklace is a tactile experience, just like the beach. smooth agate beads move along one to two inch sections of chain. it is soothing, like the ebb and flow of the tide. the beaded chain feels like small pebbles between your fingers. it is meant to move with you, as water moves around obstacles, charting its own course.

I hope this reminds you of peaceful days by the water, the warm rays of the summer sun, and the shells, stones and sand you took home with you.

the chains are sterling silver, each section is soldered to a jump ring, the beads are 6mm and 8mm round and slightly matted natural agate, the “stones” are hand textured and sawn from bronze and silver, as always this necklace closes with a handmade clasp. it is 16.5” long and one of a kind.
