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 + waves hairpin

sand + waves hairpin

from $34.00

summer is here in full force. the sun is bright and hot. as someone who doesn’t love the heat, I am always trying to find ways to celebrate summer comfortably.

here’s a fancy solution to long, sticky days, a bronze hairpin. a simple way to add some class while also letting your neck get some air.

the top of these are textured with an old hammer and iron to look like sand (or a crescent moon!). they are formed into gentle waves which allows them to sit comfortably in your hair. the ends are forged flat and sanded smooth. sand + waves hairpins are made of 12 gauge bronze wire to help hold their shape.

two sizes are available. for those who want to pull back less hair or who need a lighter hairpin, the smaller size may be perfect for you at, 3.5” long. for a bigger bun, or thicker hair, choose the large which is 5.25” long.

please note: these are bronze and will tarnish (especially if you are pulling back wet hair). they are covered with renaissance wax to help maintain their sheen. you can clean them with a scotch bright, which will remove the wax, but now you know how to keep it clean! also, they are handmade and sizes will vary a little. please allow 4 business days for fabrication on this item.

a few more things, they are sold individually, AND approved for all gendered buns!
