Surprise Tidal Pool Collection: Tue, May 27, 7pm EST

May 26, 2025 · Leave a Comment

A surprise collection for all you saltwater mermaids!

Made from lodolite, the gemstone of my north Atlantic dreams.

I will share about the collection on Instagram and Facebook once it has already landed in the shop, but you as a newsletter subscriber will have advance notice and hopefully be able to scoop one of these pieces out of this Maine tidal pool before everyone else!


Sea Tangle Ring

Sizes available:
7 | 7.25 | 7.25 | 7.75 | 8.5 | 8.5 | 9 | 9.75 | 10 | 10 | 11
Set atop 3mm half-round bands

True to size.
Price: $109

The previous Tidal Pool offering featured primarily this lodolite ring design.

So I decided to only make a small handful of these so that anyone who missed them last time could perhaps catch one.

This ring features a beautiful garden quartz set in a pronged gemstone that looks like tufts of seagrass waving in the sun. To either side of the stone are little sterling beach stones. 


Barnacled Tidal Pool Necklace

There will be 35 necklaces available.
Suspended from chains adjustable 17″ – 20″

There will be two size pendants available,
a smaller size (around 16-18mm) and a larger size (around 21-25mm).

Each necklace will list the pendant size, as well as feature
a picture of the each pendant next to an American quarter for size reference.

Price: $116 – $137

Each of these necklaces is made from a stunning natural, lodolite quartz gemstone, each entirely unique.

Some have beautifully defined inclusions that look just like twirling coral reefs reaching up to the water’s surface.

Others look like a a bit of the ocean floor, sandy and speckled with sparkling sand.

Around each gemstone, I have delicately placed little silver barnacles that I have hand-forged from molten silver. 

Just like the walls of a tide pool.

They look like tiny treasures pulled from the ocean, antiqued and brushed, beautiful and organic.


Tidal Pool Ring

Sizes available:
5 | 5 | 6 | 6.25 | 6.5 | 6.5 | 7 | 7 | 7 |
7.25 | 7.25 | 7.75 | 8 | 8 | 8.25 | 8.25 | 8.25 |
8.5 | 8.5 | 8.5 | 8.75 | 8.75 | 8.75 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9.25 |
10 | 10.5 | 10.5 | 11.25 | 11.5
Set atop 3mm half-round bands

True to size.
Price: $118

Lodolite is a variety of quartz with inclusions of chlorite, iron and calcite.

These minerals can be seen as plumes in the colorless stone with green, pink, yellow, brown, white and red.

It is often called garden quartz or scenic quartz because it looks like a mossy covered miniature garden.

Lodolite, the stone of a thousand variations.

Some have soft plumes of fine grain inclusions, like sand swirled up by a wave.

Others have beautiful, intricate pillars climbing through the stone, like coral reefs at the bottom of a clear pool.

And others, and black or golden rutiles cutting through the clear stone, like the spines of tiny urchins.


And that’s everything, all you merfolk and beach-combers!

Tiny worlds held in stone, to wear upon the hand or around the neck. Tiny weightless sea tangles and swirling stone corals. When I look into them, I feel convinced a tiny seahorse is going to float out from behind the plume inclusions.

This collection will float into the SHOPIFY shop on
TUESDAY, MAY 27th at 7:00 p.m. EST.

🌊🪸 TIDAL POOL RINGS: A Call for Sizes! 🪸🌊

I am a flurry of work at my bench at the moment. It is looking like I might be able to finish a lot of your made to order pieces in the next few weeks. 

I am still finishing them in the order in which they were purchased, so some of you might start getting shipping notices as early as this weekend! 🤍🌙

And in the meantime, I am looking ahead to the next handful of collections. I am hoping to create a handful of the Tidal Pool rings for you next! 

I have gotten so many messages over the past year asking if they would return. And while it took years for me to collect the larger lodolite quartz gemstones, I do still have a handful of smaller stones, ring size and petite necklace size. 

So, if you have been waiting for a Tidal Pool Ring, especially a ring with little barnacles adorning the sides, call out your ring size below! And I will write it down. 

These will likely be released as a surprise collection, so if you'd like advance notice and a full preview, make sure you are signed up for the newsletter. Subscribers get notice of all my collections, even the secret ones.

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.
