Sweet friends! Here is the last(ish) of the Snow Moon pieces.
Moonstone, the gemstone made from late winter moonshine. Jewelry made for dipping hands into moonlight and carrying nighttime glamour throughout the day.
As ever, the gemstones vary in their cuts, schiller, and hue. Some with a soft shimmer that dances only in the perfect light, staying icy white at all other times. Other gemstones announce themselves boldly, commanding attention to all their wintery charm.
And now, onto the preview!
Moonshine Necklace
There will be 17 necklaces available.
Suspended from chains adjustable from 17” – 20”.
Price: $163
Here is the final moonstone necklace design from the collection!
A sweet, simple layering necklace, a field of stars and moons and winter magic drifting across the neck.
I made a little over a dozen delicate dangle necklaces featuring icy blue moonstone gemstones dripping from the chain.
And amongst the gemstones are little sterling silver stars and moons.
They are all built into satellite chains to allow a bit of movement.
Moonshine Earrings
There will be 19 pairs of earrings available.
Price: $146
Moonstone earrings as gentle as a nighttime whisper, and as soft as falling snow.
As ever, I am exceedingly partial to earrings, especially sweet dangle ones.
For as long as I have been silversmithing, every stone that passes through my hands is at some point held up to my ear so I can imagine how it would feel as an earring.
It doesn’t matter how big and impractical, or tiny and impossible, I envision every gemstone built into a beautiful earring, tickling a shoulder or entwined in long hair.
I know I shouldn’t choose favorites, but goodness, I do love these earrings!
These earrings feature rose cut moonstone gemstones suspended above a sterling silver star with a satellite chain tassel delicately swaying below.
Suspended from curved French hooks. They measure around 3” from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the dangle.
Moonshine Cuff Bracelet
There will be seven bracelets available.
(XS – 2, Sm/Med – 3, Med – Lg – 2)
Price: $168 – $179
For the first time in a few collections, I made a handful of cuffs for you bracelet lovers out there! A bracelet to be worn on midnight walks while gathering up moonshine.
Each bracelet features three softly shimmering moonstone gemstones set atop a split double half-round band.
The bracelet bands have a moon dust texture, each band with a unique dusting of silver fused to the surfaces.
This silver dust carefully collected from the creation of jewelry over the years.
Dust filed from moon edges, sawed from honeybee wings, and sanded from cherry blossom branches.
Important note! I made these bracelets with two different thickness of band wire.
Over the years, a handful of people have requested bracelets that are easier to open and close, so I decided to try out the Small/Medium bracelets on a much more dainty band gauge.
So if you have been waiting for more lightweight bracelets, the Small/Medium are the ones to catch!
There will also be Extra Smalls and Medium/Larges, these will have a thicker, more sturdy band.
These are the approximate diameter measurements for the bracelets:
XS – 5” + 1” gap (heavier weight gauge bands)
SM/MED – 6” + 1” gap
(lighter weight gauge bands)
MED/LG – 7” + 1” gap (heavier weight gauge bands)
And that’s everything in Part III of the Snow Moon Collection!
However!! There will be a secret moonstone collection in a few weeks that I will let newsletter subscribers know about before everyone else.
The collection will feature another batch Snow Moon Necklaces (the larger moonstone pendants with a single star built into the chain), made to order Snow Moon Rings (hexagon moonstones on a hammered band with the moons resting on the sides of the gemstone), and a new Moonshine Ring design (large moonstone gemstones set atop wide saddle bands with moon dust texture).
There will be a newsletter preview the day before they release with price, measurement, and collection release information. And then after thirty minutes if there are pieces remaining, I will let everyone else on social media know.
Part III of the Snow Moon collection will drift into the shop on
Sunday, March 22nd at 7:00 p.m. EST.
Click here for a direct link to where they will appear.
And remember, refresh your page often once the clock strikes 7:00 PM EST, until they all appear.
Part III will hopefully float into the shop three weeks from now, so keep an eye out for that!
