Jewelry

Representing the 5 elements of Earth, Air, Fire Water & Spirit; the pentagram is a well known and sacred symbol of the earth spirited.

A tigers eye formed in the protective shape of a triangle is combined with a labradorite oval and crescent moon. This powerful talisman contains multiple protection elements while honoring the Goddess and the divine feminine. 

Measures 2 - 2.5 inches and is attached to a 24 inch chain.

For as long as humans have occupied this planet, the moon has played an integral role in the development of societies and cultural identities. For many of us, each moon phase carries a unique energy, but together they form a roadmap.

 This map is not linear, but cyclical in nature. It’s filled with low valleys, staggering peaks, and plenty of dead ends that leave us void of course.

These emotional highs and lows are not dissimilar to that which we experience on a day-to-day basis. Depending on our character, this volatility can feel exciting, scary, or frustrating in a world that insists that success is born from consistency. The moon shows us an alternate path—one that encourages a hefty dose of passion for balancing logic, stillness for heightening creativity, and quiet reflection for laser-focused intentions.

With dedication, our relationship with the moon offers a glimpse into the waxing and waning aspects of the psyche and fosters a unique connection with the cosmos.

It is our wish that when you wear this lunar phase necklace that you consider your own roadmap. 2020 has hardly taken its first breath, but this new decade is ripe with opportunity and awaiting your first step. Embrace change, listen to your emotions and look forward to the magick of new beginnings.

In tarot, the Moon can represent a time or situation of deception or unknowing the full truth. Just the darkness of the new moon phase may appear that there is no moon at all, she is constant. This card and this pendant reminds us not to take everything at face value and to trust your instincts and intuition at all times.

Chain and pendant are 14k gold plated, chain measures 22 inches and has an additional extender.

Wearing blue howlite encourages a person to communicate their truth. Howlite wants to activate our throat chakra, whether it be through speaking, singing, or another vocal activity. Speaking our truth can feel intimidating (especially if it doesn’t align with societal norms), but even amid chaos, howlite envelops us in a blanket of calm. As an attunement stone, howlite reminds us that if our thoughts aren’t currently evolving, then neither is the soul.

As an ally to the heart, throat, and crown chakras, Mother of Pearl filters distractions that might otherwise impair our upward ascension. With fewer distractions, we’re able to think more clearly and process information with a deeper level of understanding. It’s no wonder that Mother of Pearl’s iridescent exterior rivals that of the moon, both this crystal and our lunar guide share secrets of mystical realms that extend beyond this reality.

October 2020: Tibetan Earrings

October’s North of Stella is a pair of dangling silver earrings, expertly crafted by artisans from the mystical mountains of Tibet.

If you’ve ever felt called to hike an overgrown wooded path, or scale a jagged cliffside in search of forgotten caves, and especially if you’ve ever set out to reach the top of a mountainous peak, have you ever stopped to wonder where or who that desire came from?

Well, wild ones, there’s a reason for that…

Nature spirits are all around us. They are private creatures, preferring to communicate through subtle messages carried by the wind and scattered amongst the trees. They speak through birdsong, changes in weather, and if they have something important to tell us, through silence.

In Tibet, where the rugged peaks of the Himalayas stand tall and imposing, mountain gods are the protectors of the wild landscape. Some, like the Wind Horse and Snow Lion, are famous. They symbolize courage, strength, and offer good fortune to the community.

But others, like those that reside on Mount Kailash, are elusive and far less inviting.

Mount Kalash is one of the most sacred mountains in the world, nicknamed the Stairway to Heaven. Ancient scriptures claim that Mount Kailash is home to Lord Shiva, the guardian of nature and personal liberation. With the help of the mountain gods, he dutifully protects the secrets that reside at the peak.

For those who long to communicate with the cryptic forces of nature, it’s easy to see why the Tibetan landscape has long been a focus of divine connection. But whether you’re an adventure seeker in real life or dreamland, we hope that our Rainy Day Earrings remind you of all the secrets within the natural the world—many of which are hiding in plain sight.

 Earrings measure 4 inches.

In Celtic tradition, the “infinity knot” or “endless knot” represents eternity,
undying or unending. While this symbol can represent life, it also is used to
represent friendship, love, freedom, loyalty and a myriad of other sentiments
that endure.

The design itself is always one thread, one line and one woven loop. There
is no end and no beginning. This symbolizes how life, eternity and the after
life are all connected.

The designs were first seen in 3BC and can be found in art,
manuscripts and architecture. They are found in Roman mosaics, Russian
literature, Ethiopian art, Medieval era & Islamic art. It is believed
the knot traveled its way through Europe, making its way to Ireland &
the Scottish Highlands.

Celtic knots or “mystic knots” as they are also called, were exchanged between
lovers as amulets of affection the way we now exchange rings in marriage.

Your necklace is made of .925 sterling silver and was inspired by the
stunning green hills of Scotland. Our travels took us through abandoned
castles, thick forests, down cobblestone streets and inside warm pubs.

Our Pyramid ring was chosen as a nod to the ancient civilizations that revered this geometric shape. It is believed the pyramids of Egypt were deep healing chambers as their alignment to the stars and shape create a powerful energy vortex. Native Americans created their tee-pees in this shape, South Americans created their temples in this shape and many churches around the world implement the pyramid in their architecture.

A Pentacle is a symbol that is often used in magic invocations. It is a Pentagram symbol that is encased in a circle. The Pentagram is said to be made of the 4 earthly elements and the 5th element of Spirit, the pentacle is the most sacred symbol to the earth spirited. Wear our sterling silver Pentacles on your ears for both protection, adornment, and a reminder to listen carefully to your own inner magic.

The new moon is a time to set intentions. It’s a time for internal assessments and for rejuvenation. Adorn your ears with the secrets of the new moon, she teaches us lessons through rumination and guides us to our inner light of inspiration. Our little white shell moons are wrapped in gold wire and are handmade. **The wire will need to be trimmed down to match your ear lobe as they are intentionally left long for customization. This can be done with scissors or wire cutters.

Kuchi necklace, handmade by an ancient tribe in Afghanistan.

The Kuchi people are Pakhtuns, which is the dominant tribe in
Afghanistan. While they are largely settled now, historically they
were a nomadic tribe that traveled the ancient trade routes between
Afghanistan and Pakistan. They were the wanderers, the explorers,
a romantic tribe of nomads who revered the vibrant and intricate
art their jewelry displayed. This craft of jewels is a celebration of
life, of beauty, of style, of electric, colorful boldness!

The Kuchi often add coins, bells, and colorful cut glass to their
adornments—bringing a richer life and experience to the jewelry.
Many believe that these jewels not only amplify ones radiance and
beauty, but that they also ward off evil spirits.

Kuchi jewelry has a great and rich cultural history—with the
designs having remained mainly unchanged over the last
3000 years.

Whites, Reds, greens and turquoise pieces are commonly a colored Howlite.

Aura Quartz is known as an uplifting stone that can be used to activate the chakras. It is said that if you are down, or in a spiritual rut, Angel Aura is the stone you want to carry with you! It can be used in gridding and is said to aid in releasing negativity and stress. 

Our Aura Quartz talisman features a rough aura quartz hanging from a 22 inch golden chain, adorned with a crescent moon and star.

This month’s delivery is a minimalistic necklace, complete with a 14kt gold or sterling silver pendant in the shape of a serpent.

In our increasingly modern world, many people view snakes as fearsome creatures. But to some, snakes are not the sinister predators that we humans make them out to be.

If we dive deeper into the serpent’s history, we see that this reptile represents reincarnation, healing, and our connection to the realm of dreams. She (because yes, the snake speaks to the divine feminine aspect of the psyche) also symbolizes wisdom. Lucky for us, the serpent is eager to share her vast library of occult knowledge with anyone brave enough to ask.

We see the relationship between the serpent and healing therapies when we look at the Rod of Asclepius. The Rod of Asclepius, whose image is sewn into the clothing of emergency and hospital staff, depicts a snake intertwined around a large staff.

In ancient Greece, the staff belonged to Asclepius, the mysterious demigod of healing and dreams. According to stories, Asclepius had a temple where his followers sought relief from aches, pains, and illnesses—both physical and mental.

Because his treatment required long periods of rest, you would be shown to a quiet chamber for reflection, renewal, and eventually, resurrection.

But the room was also filled with snakes.

Asclepius believed that serpents were the key to healing, so visitors were instructed to lie on the floor as these creatures ‘kissed’ and slithered over their bodies. If you were one of the lucky ones, Asclepius and the snakes would use this time to share a vision with you.

While most of the people who paid a visit to the temple of Asclepius were cured, even if sickness persisted, visitors claimed that they no longer feared anything—not even the mystical realm that awaits all humans at the conclusion of their life.
