work in progress: pieces from the Scarab, Lotus, and Poppy series, from the Delicate Botanical collection

Here’s a glimpse into what I’m working on in my studio this week: the Scarab Necklace, Delicate Scarab Necklace, Scarab Bracelet, and Delicate Lotus Necklace will be back in stock soon! These intricate designs from the Delicate Botanical collection are time-intensive — there’s just no way to speed up opening and closing hundreds of tiny titanium rings in precise patterns, all by hand. But I do love that state of flow, ring, after ring after ring, as well as the delicate, botanical-inspired modern chainmaille jewelry. (Thank goodness for strong black tea and good reading glasses, though!)

The Scarab Earrings, Lotus Earrings, Small Poppy Earrings, and Large Poppy Earrings are currently in stock (and look great with these necklaces!)

You can see why my studio flowers bring a touch of joy and color to my work space! These pink hellebores really balance out all that modern white and metal. Contrasts like these (and the intersections between them) are the heart of the botanical-inspired-yet-engineered Mechanical Garden collection, after all!
