I DISSENT collar with small pearls necklace

I’m speaking rectangle necklace

$85.00

“I’m speaking.” My 11 year old daughter was watching the 2020 VP debates when she heard Kamala Harris say this to VP Pence who was interrupting her. My daughter looked at me and said, "SHE could be our next VP?!" She watched a woman standing up for herself amidst disrespectful interruptions. It’s a simple phrase, but unfortunately it is necessary for women to use this phrase to stop interruptions. A recent study (email me if you want citations) shows that male Supreme Court justices interrupt female SC justices 3 times more often than the reverse. And female SC justices are interrupted by male ATTORNEYS 3 times more often than male SC justices are. Other research is varied, but among coed play dates where 4 year olds know each other, boys interrupt girls 3 times more often. The interruptions increase as the number of boys in a group increases. As a mom, I’m teaching my daughter (the fantastic Jane Ellen) to speak up and be heard. Stop the interruptions and let’s listen to what each other is saying.

Each letter is individually stamped resulting in a necklace that is charming in its simplicity and imperfection. Please note, the sterling silver necklace chain may vary slightly depending on what is in stock. Length options are 16" or 18"- email English if you need a different length.

Encapsulated Bald-faced Hornet silver necklace

$175.00

The Bug Collection

There are not many creatures in nature who are essential to the survival of our species and agriculture, but the bees and other pollinators are. With so many diminishing populations of bees, what better way to celebrate their vital role in our ecosystem than a beautiful necklace that is bound to spark questions. Dying bees outside my studio a few years ago inspired the entire Encapsulated Series. Perhaps the bees had just reached the end of their short lives, but I was struck by the intricate beauty of the bees scattered around under a Vitex tree. Instead of just sweeping them aside, I decided to create a special case for them and encapsulate their beauty forever in resin. You can read more about how to save our bees by taking a look at some non-profits involved in raising awareness about our vanishing bees including the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign, Asheville's Honey Bee Health Improvement Project, and Avaaz. 

The Bald-faced Hornet pendant hangs from a 26 1/2" chain. The hornet and ring drop 3" from the silver chain. The hornet pendant itself is 1 1/4" by 7/8" and is 1/2" deep. Frozen in resin and time, its beauty can be appreciated and admired. This hornet was collected from our organic garden in Atlanta, GA. Each summer the Bald-faced Hornets build a huge paper nest in one of our oak trees. I think the white dots on this delicate creature make it one of the prettiest I've seen. The model is wearing another necklace from this collection. 

The Encapsulated Collection
You can’t capture time but you can capture memories. The precious creature encapsulated in the clear resin of this necklace is a reminder of moments that have come and gone -- intricate, interconnected and irreplaceable. The bugs are carefully collected and set in a handsmithed Argentium silver oval case and captured by clear resin so each pendant is unique and different. These are truly one of a kind.

Encapsulated small Cicada silver necklace

$175.00

The Bug Collection

Growing up in the southern US, summer evenings were filled with the sounds of cicadas singing at night and chasing lightning bugs (yes, I know other people call them fireflies). I loved hunting for the cicada shells in the morning on the pine trees where they shed their larval stage shell and flew into the night. My own kids love to collect cicada shells for my "jewelry project," and I love these well-earned treasures. Dying bees outside my studio a few years ago inspired the entire Encapsulated Series. Perhaps the bees had just reached the end of their short lives, but I was struck by the intricate beauty of the bees scattered around under a Vitex tree. Instead of just sweeping them aside, I decided to create a special case for them and encapsulate their beauty forever in resin. I feel the same way about the cicadas. Their summer song delights us and I love honoring them with a necklace.

The cicada shell necklace hangs from a 27" chain. The cicada and ring drop 2 1/2"" from the silver chain. The cicada pendant itself measures 1" by 13/16" and is 1/2" deep. Frozen in resin and time, its beauty can be appreciated and admired. This cicada was found by my children in our organic garden in Atlanta, GA. The model is wearing another necklace from this collection. (In the photos with 2 necklaces, this necklace is on the left).

Encapsulated Bee silver necklace

The bee pendant is one of our smaller pieces in the series and hangs from a 28" chain. The bee pendant itself is 1" in diameter and is 1/2" deep. Frozen in resin and time, its beauty can be appreciated and admired. A friend in Atlanta has bees in her organic garden, and I asked her to save the bees that die of natural causes. She laughed, "I've never been asked that before!" I love being able to celebrate this beautiful creature with a one of a kind necklace. This bee was collected from our organic garden in Atlanta, GA. The model is wearing another necklace from this collection.

Encapsulated June Beetle silver necklace

$165.00

The Bug Collection

Each piece in The Bug Collection is truly one of a kind. The handcrafted June beetle necklace is no exception. Found (dead) in our Atlanta backyard, this Cotinis Nitida necklace is made of Argentium silver, has a handcrafted toggle clasp, and hangs from an 18 1/2" chain.  The pendant itself is 1 1/4" tall, just over 1" wide, and is 3/4" deep. Frozen in resin and time, its beauty can be appreciated and admired. The model is wearing another necklace from this collection. 

Why bugs? My kids love to collect dead bugs and cicada shells for my "jewelry project," and I love these well-earned treasures. Dying bees outside my studio a few years ago inspired the entire Encapsulated Series. Perhaps the bees had just reached the end of their short lives, but I was struck by the intricate beauty of the bees scattered around under a Vitex tree. Instead of just sweeping them aside, I decided to create a special case for them and encapsulate their beauty forever in resin. It is rare to find a June beetle in our backyard, but the shimmering green beauty is worth preserving and celebrating with a necklace.

Shades of the Serengeti Twizzle Necklace

$185.00

One of a kind necklace features top drilled citrine stones and our gold Twizzle swirls framing an intricately carved orange stone. Completing this 31” necklace are faceted agate beads that remind me of a giraffe print.

Sourced from ESN Studio...

Recently, I looked around the studio and took stock of how many gemstones, half-finished silver components, and gorgeous beads are neatly in boxes. Just sitting there. They deserve to be made into jewelry and their beauty celebrated! I'm already very careful with where I source my metals and stones (fair trade/sustainably mined) and realize I have a gold mine in my own studio! I'm challenging myself to think responsibly and source from ESN Studio.

Nepalese Silver Necklace

Sold Out

Sourced from ESN Studio...

This past summer, I met this wonderful man at a gem show. His parents were Tibetan but moved to Nepal when China took over in the 50s. He grew up in Nepal and sources beads from the artists there on his trips back. Karma was part of his name and it fit him perfectly.

I’ve paired these Nepalese beads with aventurine, turquoise, and faceted aquamarine stones. The length is variable and can be as short as 25” or as long as 36”.

Green with Twizzle Necklace

$165.00

Turquoise comes in many shades. I’m partial to this gorgeous green. The nuggets pair well with the eclipse shapes, silver twizzles, and other silver bits handsmithed on the studio bench.

The Twizzle Collection

Each piece in this collection is a delightful combination of semiprecious stones linked together by “twizzles” of Argentium silver. What’s a twizzle? It’s a fantastic, funky shape that is created when silver is forged, formed, hammered, smithed, and soldered with great imagination to create a unique work of art.

Our signature eclipse shape is featured in the centerpiece and echoed in the handcrafted toggle clasp.
