The Explorer, The Watcher & The Newcomer: A Mushroom Ring in Wax

This piece marks the beginning of something growing.
Not just a design, but a collection shaped by quiet moments in nature — where mushrooms rise, unseen, weaving life beneath the surface.

The Explorer, The Watcher, and The Newcomer are not just forms… they are stages of presence. Each one created in wax, guided by instinct, and brought to life in metal to be felt, not just worn.




These are not finished pieces.

They are thoughts.
Moments.
Decisions still being made.

Every curve is still alive… still changing.

There are three.

Not placed. Not planned.
They found their way there… the way things in nature always do.

They grew between the twigs.













The first is the Explorer.

It reaches outward, leaning just a little further than the others.
Curious. Unafraid.
It doesn’t follow the line of the band—it follows something unseen.

The Explorer is movement.
The part of us that steps forward without knowing what comes next.


The second is the Watcher.

It stays close, slightly tucked into the protection of the twigs.
Not hidden—just aware.

It sees everything.

The Watcher is stillness.
The quiet understanding that not everything needs to be rushed.


And then… there is the Newcomer.

Smaller. Softer.
Just beginning to take its place among the others.

It hasn’t decided what it will become yet.

The Newcomer is possibility.
The beginning of something not yet defined.


They do not compete.

They grow together.

Each one shaped by the same roots…
but each one becoming something entirely its own.


The twigs are not just structure.

They are the forest.
The path.
The support.

They twist, split, and open—
creating the space where life emerges.


This ring is not about perfection.

It is about growth.

About where you’ve been…
where you stand…
and what is just beginning.


Three mushrooms.

Three personalities.

One story.
