Salt Path || Ocean Jasper Pendant

THE ALCHEMY OF THIS PIECE

When I first saw this piece of Ocean Jasper, I was completely drawn in by all the little details happening inside it. The mustard yellow, cream, olive, and soft gray move through the stone in these strange little patterns and organic lines, almost like a tiny landscape viewed from above. I wanted the wirework to feel like it was following those natural shapes rather than competing with them, so I wrapped the stone in tarnish-resistant antique copper and let the color and pattern do most of the talking. The result feels earthy and weathered to me—like something that has been sitting quietly along an old coastal path, waiting to be found.

I imagine Salt Path finding its way to someone who is figuring out where they want to go next. Maybe you're in the middle of a transition, wandering a little, or simply feeling like you need to step away from the noise and find your own direction again. There's something comforting about the idea of a path that doesn't have to be perfectly straight or clearly marked. Sometimes you just follow the next turn, see where it leads, and trust yourself to keep going.

• Metal: Antique copper, tarnish resistant

HOW TO KEEP THE MAGIC STRONG

Each piece is lovingly hand-forged by yours truly in my small (and slightly chaotic) home studio. I work with natural and recycled materials, so you might notice a bit of texture, variation, or tiny imperfections—think of them as character, not flaws. These one-of-a-kind quirks are part of the charm.

While I design for wild hearts and bold spirits, please remember: natural stones can be a little tender. To keep your magic intact, remove your piece during high-energy activities—like intense workouts, heavy lifting, or skydiving (if you’re that kind of thrill-seeker). It’s also best to avoid extended dips in water, whether you’re surfing the sea or soaking in a long bath with moon salts.

Treat your jewels with care, and they’ll stay enchanted for many adventures to come. I wear my pieces nearly every day through all of my adventures and give it a light polish when I notice their sparkle is dulling.

IMPORTANT-BUT NOT SO GLAMOROUS-MAGIC NOTE

While the stones I work with are believed to carry energetic properties, they are not a substitute for medical advice, treatment, or therapy. Crystals can support your journey—but they don't replace science, doctors, or actual hydration. Listen to your intuition and your healthcare providers.

Stay magical, but stay grounded too.
