Loves Me, Loves Me Not

Pull each petal from these gold and gemstone flowers to learn if they love you back.

Peach Moonstone Lucky Petal Charm
Peach Moonstone Lucky Petal Charm
from $948.00

The peach moonstone in this petal-shaped charm glitters with naturally iridescent flecks. Its rose cut (all those triangular facets all over the top) give the charm extra sparkle when it catches the light. I originally used wax to build the setting around this hand-cut stone, elongating the shape to make it look like a flower petal.

Here, the charm is paired with a 16” long, 1.0mm wide cable chain. The charm by itself is ready to ship, but add a chain and it will be ready for you in 2-3 weeks.

DETAILS

  • Stone: peach moonstone

  • Metal: 14k gold

  • Charm size: 16mm long (including the top ring)

  • Options: Available as a charm only or paired with a 16” long, 1.0mm wide cable chain

  • Made by hand in my Catskill Mountain Studio

Wildflower Charm
Wildflower Charm
from $928.00

A light and airy flower in 14k gold, originally designed using wax wire shapes joined into a 5-petaled blossom. The shape was made to look windblown and wild, and was inspired by picking petals from flowers while saying, “He loves me, he loves me not” and hoping to find out if my crush liked me back.

Here, the charm is paired with an 18” long, 1.5mm wide cable chain.

DETAILS

  • Metal: 14k gold

  • Charm size: 23mm long (including the top ring)

Brass Jewelry and That "Green Shadow"
Brass Jewelry and That "Green Shadow"

I love brass with its deep golden color and its hefty, solid weight. If you prefer wearing gold tones to silver ones (🙋🏻‍♀️), brass lets you indulge in fun, statement-making jewelry without mortgaging your house (unless you’re Elizabeth Taylor, of course).

But every metal has its dark side — sterling silver tarnishes crazy fast, high karat golds get more red in tone in a way I don’t love, and wearing brass can leave a “green shadow” on your skin.
