The New Scrambled Collection

March 23, 2016

It’s finally here! I’m so excited to finally and officially share the new Scrambled Collection.

The Scrambled Collection is all about showing off the people, places and messages you love in a modern way. Share your love while showing off your unique style. Let it be a reminder to you while staying a secret to everyone else.

I love the simplicity of the collection but I also love how there are endless possibilities. The best thing is that no two are alike since all the letters are scattered about.

I’ve separated the collection into the 3 following categories and they both come in rings and necklaces:

Scrambled Names-your own name, lover, best friend, nickname, pet’s name, zodiac, business name, or whatever name means something to you. (Shown Below: Charlotte, Collective of Us, Capricorn, Kitty, Young). Shop the whole collection here.

2. Scrambled Places-state, city, neighborhood, lake, island, desert, country, continent, or any other place you can think of. (Shown below: Michigan, Wyoming, Seattle, Detroit, Washington). Shop the new collection here.

3. Scrambled Messages-I love you, girl boss, wonderful, dreamer, wanderlust, travel, see the world, world traveler, beautiful, wonderful, hell yeah, bad ass, hustle, fuck yeah, coffee lover, cheers, the list goes on. (Shown below: you can do this, girl boss). Check out the new collection!

Thank you so much for taking a look! I would love to know what you’d get scrambled onto a necklace. Let me know in the comments below!

New Collection: Sneak Peek!

March 16, 2016

A few weeks ago I was playing around in the studio trying to get an idea to work. I really didn’t like how it was going so I started playing around with some items near me and one thing led to another and I had an idea. I tried it out and I loved it! I was so excited about the possibilities and I couldn’t wait to share it. Before I got ahead of myself though I had to be smart and think it through so I decided to choose a date to launch the new collection and work back from there.

Just so you don’t get too antsy the collection launches next week March 23rd and you’ll finally get to see what I’ve been keeping a secret. Are you excited? Do you want to know more?

Ok I’m excited too and I can’t keep it all in so I’m giving you a sneak peek. As you can see the collection involves rings. I’ve made a few in the past but never really offered them on my site. At the time they didn’t really seem to fit in. These new ones are a nod to what I currently do and I think they make a perfect addition. And of course all the designs can be purchased in necklace form as well.

I don’t want to tell you much more but I do have a task for you while you wait. Think of a word, name, or phrase that is 14 letters long or less that you just love and type it below or write it down somewhere so you don’t forget it. It will all makes sense next week! See you then!

Anatomy of the world

February 24, 2016

I thought it would be really fun to share some behind the scenes info with you. It’s easy to look at a piece and say oh that’s pretty but when we can see the work behind it I feel that’s when we can really start to appreciate the details.

First I start my cutting out all 3 shapes out and then I make the tiny internal cuts before hammering everything. The Australia is so small that almost every time I hammer it, it will go flying across the room. It sounds funny but when I have to get on my hands and knees to search the floor I’m certainly not laughing.

Once I locate the tiny Australia I drill all 8 tiny holes. Then all edges get sanded and smoothed out and all 3 pieces go in the tumbler with other jewelry to get even smoother and all shiny.

Finally all 3 shapes slowly come together with 3 jump rings until the World Map is together. The remaining 2 jump rings attach the chain to the map.

The last stage of the process is to package the necklace up and ship it out to a lover of maps, a world traveler, someone that wants to see the world, or someone always on the hunt for something unique and beautiful.

The World Map Necklace also comes in gold fill and you can find it and other beautiful pieces in the shop.
