SYBILL is a vintage-style engagement ring that glows with a natural green sapphire, crisp and juicy like a fresh apple. Along the band, rose-cut moissanite accents flicker between hand-engraved star motifs, adding a bold celestial shimmer.

Every detail feels drawn from another era. Antique, enchanted, and deeply romantic. Its soft golden glow and star-studded textures create a ring that feels like a secret from the past.

Thank you to .de.charme for this delectable center stone 😍

The Diana Portrait Ring is a celestial window into another world, a contemporary interpretation of a cosmic design. Beneath a crystal clear portrait-cut moissanite, a singular gold star rests suspended, creating a mesmerizing depth and glow unlike traditional settings. A crescent of sparkling moissanite accents frames the center stone, enhancing the dreamlike silhouette.

Named Diana, this ring carries a story that can become your own: perhaps a goddess, a beloved cat, a princess, or the favorite author whose words altered your orbit. Light-filled and ethereal, the portrait-cut moissanite allows every detail beneath the stone to shine through, creating an enchanting layered effect, a portal to another realm ✨

The Alecto Ring is a bold take on an already unique silhouette, featuring a slightly wider knife edge band profile and refined detailing around the center setting. A cut-corner rectangular rosecut diamond sits at the center, accented by round brilliant cut diamonds: some tucked discreetly around the central setting, others set in hand-cut frames. Subtle intricacies elevate this timeless piece into something powerful and bold.

The Ami Ring is a celestial piece designed for those drawn to cosmic beauty and unconventional details. Distinguished by its signature partial halo and lunar-inspired accents, this version features a captivating hexagonal opalescent sapphire paired with ombre diamond accents along the sides. The center stone feels almost galactic in nature: shifting and changing with the light, revealing flashes of blue and violet alongside subtle whispers of orange and pink.

Designed with versatility in mind, the partial halo creates space for accent bands to nestle alongside it, allowing the design to evolve into a complete celestial set over time.

Presenting: Atlas II

A fantastical dream, designed for those drawn to extraordinary detail and unconventional beauty. Distinguished by its decorative halo of mixed-shape accent stones, this celestial-inspired engagement ring creates a layered, architectural silhouette that feels both regal and otherworldly. At its center sits a mesmerizing Portuguese-cut green moissanite, a gemstone faceting style known for its incredible complexity and light performance.

Featuring 161 facets or more, nearly three times the number found in a traditional round brilliant cut, the Portuguese cut creates a kaleidoscopic display of sparkle and depth. Light dances through the stone in shifting floral patterns, revealing endless movement and flashes of brilliance from every angle.

Perfect for lovers of alternative engagement rings, unique moissanite rings, and celestial-inspired fine jewelry, the Atlas Ring is a modern heirloom made for dreamers, collectors, and those who prefer their love stories with a little mythology woven in.

some of the fun (and surprising!) pieces that have found new homes over the last week or so! most of these were purchased at the in Toronto (catch me in Vancouver in October!), and i was shocked every single time a piece I’ve had for yeeearrrsss got purchased. It truly was a record year for this specific thing and I can’t explain it haha.

this may be something not a lot of people know, but you can make something you LOVE and think will sell immediately … and then it sits on your shelf for oh, i dunno, a year or three or EIGHT. so it was really interesting to see and talk about what suddenly drew people to these pieces after so long.

musing over, thank you to all you fine folk for supporting me endlessly. it means the world.

✨ NEW COLLAB ✨

Also making its debut at is my collab with .art ! This is my first time combing custom ceramics within my jewellery 😍

I first met Claire’s and saw her work while perusing the wares at last summer, as it’s right by my studio. I actually don’t remember who suggested the collab first, but I know I jumped at the chance.

Claire’s work combines all my favorite things - spooky vibes, whimsical illustrations, and matte black haha. Claire HAND PAINGS these tiny scenes with glaze!!!

Using her ceramic pieces as “cameos” and “cabochons”, I made a set of signet-style rings in sterling silver with engravings aaaall over. I also made a set of necklaces using silk velvet ribbon in the most romantic colors 🖤

I can’t wait to show these off this weekend!

✨ NEW ✨

making their debut this weekend at , my newest wedding & engagement collection blends together antique charm, celestial elements, and elegant architectural details.

i’ve been wanting to make a witchy celestial collection like this for years! while i’ve made countless custom pieces in this style, I haven’t had anything in my showcase and on my website that exemplifies this facet of my interests.

using center stones sourced from friendors (that’s friend + vendor fyi) old and new, each ring showcases a detail that’s just a little bit alternative - whether that is a crescent moon accent or a row of ombre stones.

these rings are not on my website - yet. I wanted to give them a chance to live and breathe out in the open before I sit down to name them all 😅 i name all my rings based on characters from books, TV, and film. I’m taking suggestions!

hope to see you at the expo this weekend (may 9&10, , booth 107!)

I am honored that I get to play a small part in so many people’s stories of grief and love, this one included.

Mourning jewelry is a deeply personal, commemorative art designed to honor a passed loved one and express grief through beauty. Ranging from historical Victorian hair-work (I’m learning!) to modern cremation ash pieces, like this necklace and earring set.

My client K’s gorgeous dog passed away not too long ago, and she was struggling to find a way to properly commemorate him. Although K had an initial idea before coming to , after we had our first meeting (and cried a bit) we were both drawn to a more celestial design, contemporary design.

K trusted me with the ashes of her beloved pet, and I inlayed them into the star design on the earrings and necklace, so she can carry him with her always.

It is not lost on me the immense trust my clients put into a collaborative project like this, and I am so grateful that I can work on special pieces such as this one.

To K & O ✨
