$400This enchanting pair of earrings is joyful and delicate.
Made of ethically sourced 18k gold-plated silver, mother of pearl, opal, pearl, and rainbow moonstone by Grainne Morton.
Grainne's work has been exhibited internationally and, in 2007, she was shortlisted for the Jerwood Applied Arts Prize. Instinctively and obsessively drawn to collecting and hoarding anything miniature or precious that catches her eye, Edinburgh-based jeweler Grainne Morton has amassed an incredible collection of objects - all destined to find their place among the tales she weaves within her jeweled compositions. Each piece is carefully choreographed, with little objects and precious things arranged and re-arranged of little objects until they establish a relationship to each other - and tell a story to the viewer. Her imaginative fine jewelry inspired by antiques and traditional Celtic craft, folklore, music, and fairy tales.

"Forget Me Not" Wax Seal Ring
$375This hand-cast ring was modified from a much-used 19th-century Scottish wax seal.
As with all of Erica Weiner's antique and handmade jewels, this ring has a wonderful story to tell. History and humor infuse Erica's designs, which are always made with love.
The original piece had multiple stamps with wonderfully cryptic sentiments and images, all appearing in mirror-image reverse. This was so when the seal was pressed into hot wax, the text would be embossed legibly, right-side-around. It features a ring base with rustic detail intact to reference the object's utilitarian history and an orange sapphire, which creates a juxtaposition of unpolished metal and bling. Note that your ring's text will be backwards, just like the original artifact.
10k gold, 1.5mm orange sapphire
