I will add the Revelation Necklaces and Complex Rings to my online shop tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1 pm CST.
I can cut both rings to fit any size between 5 and 10. Please specify your size when you make your purchase.
Magical
Today I received a wonderful message from Maria, in Massachusetts:
“You are a true magician, Jennifer, your work is powerful, spiritual and superbly crafted. Every time I know I'll have a difficult day, I wear something yours, and it makes me feel so much stronger, calmer, just better... I am so grateful that you are out there creating and making the world more beautiful.”
Thank you for continuing to enjoy my work! We create this magic together.
Magical Necklace.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver.
Next Tuesday in my online shop.
Expansive
I have a feeling that everything that has happened to me was orchestrated by me. Not with my full approval, but with the force of an expanding energy that just wants to be. An energy that cares nothing for social constructs, safety or reputation. A relentless desire for adventure and creation.
I am learning to trust this internal current, even when it feels self-destructive, because self-destruction can be positive. Especially when I break false ideas I have about myself, beliefs like I'm worthless or nobody cares. I am a force of nature, and I prefer to align with it than suffer its expansive and scary ways.
Expansion necklace.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver.
Soon in my online shop.
Revelation
Today I am excited! I’m remembering how I used to feel when I began making jewelry ages ago. The possibilities! The potential! The mystery and adventure! Anything can happen. I can create a world. I can participate. I have something to say, and as I say it, I create it.
This is what I came to do. I came to create my world. I came to give birth to myself. My potential unfolds as I express who I am. Through writing, drawing, forging. It feels good to not avoid me. I am excited to be back on a great adventure with myself.
This is what it means to be a creator: to take what I was given, the good and bad and mold it into a story, into meaning into beauty. Beauty now being all of it, the whole of me. The depth lies in all of it, and how I’ve longed for it! I am the guide I always sought. The hidden wise crone.
On the other side of fear lies adventure. What a revelation for someone who was terrified of taking a step in any direction: on the other side of everything is something else. The next step appears after the one I take now.

Shop Update: Thorn Series
The Thorn Series is now available in my online shop.
Please let me know what size you would like your ring when you make your purchase. Here’s help if you need to calculate your ring size.
If the piece you are looking for is no longer in the shop, it has already sold.
Happy weekend!
Thorn Series
Thank you for your warm welcome! Your encouragement always inspires me.
I am finally settled into my new home, happy to be back at play in my studio.
The Thorn Series combines my favorite gemstone (fluorite) color (agave green) and plant (the maguey, mother of mezcal).
I will add this series to my online shop on Friday at 1 pm, CT.
Things to know before then:
I can cut any ring to fit size 6 to 10.
Once I cut your ring, you can still open it half a size.
I ship to most parts of the world.
Shipping in my Etsy shop is free.
Every piece I make is one of a kind and I don’t repeat it.
Thorn
I am strength and I am light. I am the beauty of the thorn and the sublime in pain. I am structure in chaos. I am a plant and I am a star. My insides cut and chop and rip out everything to grow and be reborn.
I am the cactus, I am the maguey. I am the deep well where everything rests. I am the void where life sprouts. I am the beginning and the end.
Undercurrent
“No matter what you are doing, keep the undercurrent of happiness. Learn to be secretly happy within your heart in spite of all circumstances.”
The Undercurrent necklace is now available in my Etsy shop.
Shop Update: Nurture Series
The Nurture pendants are now available in my Etsy shop.
Each pendant includes a darkened sterling silver chain that can be 16”, 18” or 28” inches long. Please let me know which you prefer when you make your purchase.
Every piece is made with transparent quartz and recycled sterling silver, they are all one of a kind.
Integrate
“Integrating the mind is the essence of life. Decide you will always say and do only what you feel is right. Then, you will come to tremendous clarity and conviction in the inner and outer worlds.”
Integrate necklace.

Healer VII
“Do not cringe and make yourself small if you are called the black sheep, the maverick, the lone wolf. Those with slow seeing say that a noncomformist is a blight on society. But it has been proven over the centuries, that being different means standing at the edge, that one is practically guaranteed to make an original contribution, a useful and stunning contribution to her culture.”
Healer Pendant VII.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver and fluorite.
Available this Friday in my Etsy shop.
Healer VI
“The spiritual journey is not about acquiring something outside yourself, rather, you are penetrating deep layers and veils to return to the deepest truth of your own being.”
Healer Pendant VI.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver and tourmaline quartz.
Available this Friday in my Etsy shop.
