The Beginning of the Oakwood Twig Collection

Oakwood Twig Collection — where growth becomes form.

Oakwood Twig Collection

Inspired by Growth. Made with Meaning.

There are moments in the creative process where everything begins to align—where an idea stops being a thought and starts becoming something real.

This is one of those moments.

The oak leaf—strength,
structure, and naturally guided form.

At the center of this collection is the first ring.

This is where it begins.

I will be starting this piece in wax, shaping it by hand—allowing the form to develop the same way branches do: not forced, but guided. The stone is not simply set; it is lifted and offered, held by the structure like a gift formed by the earth itself.

This is the foundation piece. Everything else grows from here.

The acorn—small, grounded, and full of potential.
Where growth begins.

Nature doesn’t rush, and it doesn’t repeat itself perfectly—and that’s the point.

The oak leaf carries strength and identity. The acorn represents beginnings—small, grounded, and full of potential. Together, they tell a story of growth, endurance, and quiet power.

That story is what this collection is built on.

The first ring now begins in wax—
where each curve will be shaped by hand,
guided by the same natural movement that inspired it.

The Oakwood Twig Collection

The Oakwood Twig Collection begins here—where nature wraps, lifts, and offers each piece like a gift.

You don’t design in straight lines—and this collection doesn’t either.

It grew the same way branches do—naturally, without force, each curve finding its place. Every twig wraps with intention, every leaf settles where it belongs, and every detail is built to feel like it was always meant to be there.

These pieces aren’t just inspired by nature…
They’re guided by it.

Where It Began

The rings are where this collection first took root.

Twigs wrap around the band like growing branches, forming structure without feeling rigid. Oak leaves layer gently into the design, creating a sense of protection and movement at the same time.

Crafted in sterling silver with 14K rose gold leaves, finished with soft oxidation in the recesses and a gentle polish, these pieces balance contrast and warmth in a way that feels natural and effortless.

The Collection Grows

From there, the collection began to expand.

A sterling silver pendant lifts and presents a moss agate stone, wrapped in flowing twig forms and accented with oak leaves—never held tightly, always offered.

The earrings carry that same movement—light, organic, and alive—formed from oxidized sterling silver branches with oak leaves and acorns that feel as if they’ve grown into place.

---

A Natural Pairing

The collection also moves into more personal pieces.

A solitaire engagement ring with a 1ct round diamond pairs with a coordinating oak leaf band, bringing structure and symbolism together. The design allows the stone to feel lifted and presented, while the band continues the language of natural growth.

Still Growing

This collection is not finished—and it’s not meant to be.

Some pieces will remain simple and quiet. Others will grow more detailed and layered. But every design will follow the same path—guided by nature, shaped with intention, and created to be felt as much as seen.

These pieces already exist—just not in metal yet.
They’ve taken shape here first.

And I can’t wait to show you what they become.

The Oakwood Twig Collection

 

“This is where Oakwood began.”

It started simply.

The groom knew she wanted one of my one-of-a-kind twig designs—something that felt grown, not made.

She also knew she wanted a green rough diamond, untouched and natural, something with depth and life in it.

Together, we created her engagement ring around that vision.

Then the focus shifted to him.

She knew what mattered to him—

the Oak tree, with a couple of acorns. Strength, grounding, something lasting.

He wanted an 8mm wide band at the base, solid and substantial.

A size 13 finger—this ring needed presence. Weight. Something that felt like it belonged.

At the same time, I happened to be working on a new twig heart ring.

That piece became the starting point.

The structure was already there—

the movement, the flow, the way the branches naturally came together.

From that, I sculpted the Oak leaf and added the two acorns.

It wasn’t drawn out.

It wasn’t overthought.

It developed the way these pieces always do—

one form growing into the next until it becomes exactly what it’s supposed to be.

She loved his ring.

And when it came time for him to create hers,

he didn’t go in a different direction—he stayed with it.

Her ring became a reflection of his.

Similar in structure. Connected in meaning.

That’s when it stopped being two separate pieces

and became something shared.

(Cute, right?)”

It wasn’t until I received a second request

that I realized this wasn’t just a set anymore.

“That’s when it stopped being two separate pieces

and became something shared.

It was the beginning of something larger.

It was where Oakwood began.
