I'm a '70s Wild Child... That's Me. Hi! 🌿


A handcrafted sterling silver ring inspired by the tiny flowers that have come to symbolize remembrance, enduring love, and cherished memories.


There are two things that have shaped my life more than anything else—nature and creating with my hands.

I'm a '70s wild child. I grew up loving the outdoors, wandering through the woods, noticing the little things most people walked right past. Twisted branches. Tiny woodland flowers. New buds after a spring rain. Those moments stayed with me.

That's me. Hi!

Forget Me Not Ring in sterling silver with a soft oxidized finish. Hand sculpted to capture the delicate beauty of woodland flowers and new spring buds.

I've never wanted my jewelry to look manufactured. I want it to feel like it grew there.

The Forget Me Not Ring is one of those pieces.

Instead of drawing a flower on paper, I sculpted every flower, bud, and branch in wax by hand. Each tiny blossom was shaped individually until it looked like a small bouquet gathered from the garden.

When the master was finished, it was carefully molded so this design can live on for years to come. Creating that mold is a one-time investment, allowing each future casting to faithfully reproduce the original sculpture while every ring is still individually finished by hand.

This sterling silver version weighs 12.558 grams, giving it a substantial feel without sacrificing comfort. After casting, every ring is cleaned, detailed, oxidized (if selected), and polished to bring out the depth of the flowers and bark textures.

When I finally slipped it on my finger, I laughed and said,

"If this ring were in gold, I'd be wearing it right now because it's so freaking cool."

The Forget Me Not Ring comes to life when worn. Hand sculpted in sterling silver with a soft oxidized finish, this woodland-inspired design was created to be worn and loved every day.

That pretty much says it all.

As artists, we spend countless hours wondering if others will love a piece. Sometimes, though, you create something that makes you smile every time you look at it.

This is one of those rings.

I hope that when someone wears it, they don't just see flowers.

I hope they remember a walk through the woods...

A favorite garden...

Someone they love...

Or simply that nature has a way of reminding us to slow down and notice the beauty that's been there all along.

Three Mushrooms, One Journey

 

Handcrafted silver mushroom ring with three mushrooms—The Explorer, The Watcher, and The Newcomer—set on an organic branch-style band, photographed in a natural forest setting.
Three Mushrooms, One Journey

  

Beneath the surface, where life quietly forms, three mushrooms rise.

The Explorer. The Watcher. The Newcomer.

Each one carries a different moment in the same journey.

Where the Story Begins

A single branch rises, holding three lives at different stages.

This ring wasn’t designed—it grew.
The branches formed first, and the mushrooms followed, each finding its place naturally within the structure.

Three Paths, One Form

Three forms, each moving in its own direction.

If you look closely, no two mushrooms move the same way.
One reaches outward, one remains still, and one is just beginning to emerge.

The Explorer

The Explorer leans away from the others—drawn outward.

It represents the part of us that moves forward without certainty…
simply because something inside says go.

The Watcher

The Watcher stands steady at the center.

Not everything needs to move to grow.
Some things deepen by simply being present.

Held by the forest

The branches wrap and support each form, not forcing direction—only holding space.

Every line, every texture was left intentionally, so when oxidation settles in, the depth reveals itself—just like bark on a tree.


This piece isn’t just worn… it’s felt.
