Nature's Embrace: Unveiling the Twig Weave Collection

Unveiling the Twig Weave Collection

Welcome to the newest expression of our passion for nature-inspired design: The Twig Weave Collection. This line is born from the profound inspiration found in the enduring, interwoven structure of the forest—specifically, the resilient curves of vines and the strong, beautiful texture of old branches.

Every piece in this collection captures the delicate balance between wild, organic beauty and refined craftsmanship, celebrating life's interconnectedness and the strength found in nature's embrace.

What sets the Twig Weave Collection apart is its foundation in the meticulous process of lost-wax carving. Unlike jewelry that starts in a computer program, each curve, texture, and leaf you see began as a detailed wax model, carrying the signature and soul of the artisan from the very first moment.

The Twig Weave Moss Agate Pendant

The heart of the new collection is this breathtaking Twig Weave Pendant, cast in rich 14k Rose Gold with an Antique Finish. The interwoven branches of the setting flow organically around a magnificent Moss Agate Cabochon.

The Symbolism of Moss Agate:We chose Moss Agate for its deep connection to the Earth and its powerful symbolism of growth, new beginnings, and abundance. Its stunning internal patterns—a miniature, natural landscape—perfectly mirror the Twig Weave design, reminding the wearer of the vibrant life and deep roots that sustain them. 

The Twig Weave Earrings

Complementing the Twig Weave pendant and rings, the matching earrings offer a touch of organic elegance.

These delicate drop earrings are cast in warming 14k Rose Gold and finished with the subtle depth of our Antique Finish. The design mirrors the intertwined branches of the rest of the collection, creating small, beautiful vignettes of nature suspended from the ear.

Secured with classic and comfortable leverbacks, these earrings feature the same meticulous, hand-carved detail you see in the rings, ensuring the organic texture and dimensionality are fully present. They are designed to be light, graceful, and a timeless accent that beautifully connects the wearer to the natural world.

Design and Finish 

The pendant's design is an ode to endurance and protection. The intertwining twig setting acts as a protective shield for the stone, symbolizing the way nature supports and nurtures life. The warmth of the 14k Rose Gold, enhanced by the deep shadows and contrast of the antique finish, gives the piece an ancient, treasured quality that feels passed down through generations. This is more than an accessory; it is a wearable piece of the forest, beautifully refined for everyday elegance.

Every design was personally hand-carved by artist Dawn Vertrees.

This hands-on process ensures that every piece is truly unique, possessing a dimensionality and organic flow that cannot be replicated by machines. It is here, in the dark blue wax, that the piece's journey from concept to wearable art begins.
