Nocturne Collection: Moon Festivals

October 24, 2023 ·

Spooky friends! For this year’s Nocturne Collection, I am going to release them one design at a time.

The last collection tired me out to my very bones, and so I am taking this month slow and gentle. But I just cant keep away from the bench, and goodness, I have lots of flashing purple labradorites and sterling silver teardrops waiting to be made into spooky and somber autumn pieces.

So, releasing them one design at a time takes the pressure off since I don’t know what I will be able to finish this October and November. So keep an eye on the blog/newsletter, as these will all be released as semi-surprise shop updates.

And so for this first offering, I have pulled some autumn moons out of the sky for you, and I hope you love them as much as I do!


Moon Festival Cuff Bracelets

(3) Small/Medium
(2) Medium/Large

Easily adjustable to suit
Price: $165 – $168 per bracelet

As I always try to do, I made a few bracelets with these lovely moons!

They feature flashing labradorite moons of many different colors. And to either side of the moons are cloudy and sparkling sunstones.

Set atop a split double half-round bracelet band.

They have been oxidized and hand-polished for a textured, organic look, and to bring out the lowlights and accent the stone.


Moon Festival Rings

US Sizes – 5.25, 6.25, 6.75, 6.75, 7, 8, 8, 8.5, 9.75
Rectangle band measures 5mm wide
Price: $150 per ring

These rings feature crisp labradorite moons set atop rectangle bands.

And tucked into the crescent is a little sunstone gemstone and a few sterling pebbles.

The warmth of the sunstones beneath the cool labradorites strikes a pleasing balance!

The backs of the rings are left unembellished and unfettered, clean and simple, befitting the moon.

It has been oxidized and hand polished for an organic look, and to bring out the lowlights of the texture and accent gemstone.


Moon Festival Necklaces

There will be 22 necklaces available.
Suspended from a chain adjustable between 17″ – 20″
Price: $152 – $158 per necklace

And of course, a handful of necklaces!

Glowing labradorite moons set at a jaunty angle.

And below each moon hangs a sparkling sunstone, glittering with a thousand tiny candles.

A few special ones have multi-faceted onyx marquise briolettes dangling below.

The warmth of the sunstones beneath the cool labradorites strikes a pleasing balance!

And like the other pieces, these pendants have been oxidized and hand-polished for a textured, organic look, and to bring out the lowlights and accent the stone.


What a joy these pieces were to make! They feel so magical and jubilant, just like the feeling of bright, autumn harvest festivals and nighttime carnivals. Shadowy and bright all at the same time.

Everything will alight in the Etsy shop at 7pm EST
WEDNESDAY, October 25th.

And remember, refresh your page often once the clock strikes 7:00, until they all appear.

Cheers to everyone who has plucked a tidal pool ou Cheers to everyone who has plucked a tidal pool out of the shop so far! I love doing surprise collections, because it allows pieces to drift out of the shop at a more leisurely pace, allowing for serendipity. 

Next up, butterflies! 🌼♥️
🌊🐚🪸 Surprise Tidal Pool Collection in the 🌊🐚🪸 Surprise Tidal Pool Collection in the Shop 🐚🪸🌊
——————————————————
Calling all saltwater undines and rock-pool gazers! A surprise collection of Tidal Pool Rings and Necklaces just poured into the shop. 

For this release, I mostly made tiny barnacled lodolite necklaces, as well as rings. Each with tiny hand-forged barnacles clinging to the sides. There are a very small handful of Sea Tangle Rings, as well, for those that missed them last time. 

And gosh, these stones. Mesmerizing garden quartz with beautifully defined inclusions that look just like twirling coral reefs reaching up to the water’s surface. The way these gemstones sing in the sunshine, golly! 

You can find all these tiny, saltwater worlds in the shop now. 

If you’d like to be in the know for all future surprise and secret collections, be sure to toss your name and e-mail into the newsletter signup.

If you purchase a Made to Order piece of jewelry, please note that the turnaround time on these is likely 5-6 weeks (faster when possible!), and will be finished in the same order as they were purchased. Your piece will be made with a randomly selected stone, and expect each piece to be unique.

And if you purchase a ring, don’t forget to let me know in the message to seller box what US Ring Size you’d like it to be made in. Or you can e-mail me after you checkout with your ring size.
