Happy 5 years of hardcore Forest Troll Art! My last big shoot was in 2021 and this was such a wholesome moment to gather friends who just happen to be expert photographers and models! And spend an evening in the woods 🥰

That’s a wrap for term 2/3 of my Diploma in Fine Jewelry with @jewellersacademy!

Challenges came up, curses were shouted, problems were solved yet we pushed through to the finish line.

Between moving into our first home this term, finishing moving out of our last rental, and putting together this studio from scratch, i’m proud of this work that I completed in my new space! ✨

October was a full spectrum of life — in the most human sense.

The month began in what I’d call creative equilibrium — that rare sweet spot where my environment, to-do lists, and dopamine all aligned. I birthed new work, followed through on school projects, and felt that flow every artist chases.

Then it got cold. I moved my bench back inside, which of course meant reworking the entire studio setup (again).

As surely as the moon rises and fades, I retreat when my creative energy is overused or not restored. And just as the moon pulls the tides, so does Grief — quiet and powerful, demanding stillness before equilibrium returns.

This year brought loss that wasn’t on my bingo card — two funerals for little ones who never got their chance to grow, the loss of my Grandmother, and another family member entering hospice. Even when grief isn’t directly mine, it still carves lessons into me: Presence. Gratitude. Community.

In these darker days, I’ve been regenerating — slowing down, recharging, and contemplating how I want to show up online.
As someone who builds brands and teaches others how to navigate social media, it’s strange to feel no motivation to exist there myself. But that’s the paradox of the creative cycle, isn’t it?

For now, I’m recuperating, reimagining, and planning.
✨ Stay tuned — the next chapter is in the works.

✨ Two relics have risen for Spooky Season ✨

One born of earth — Picture Jasper, the keeper of memory.
One born of flame — Tiger’s Eye, the guardian of courage.

Forged in silver, whispered into being under October’s moon. 🕯
There are only two, and once they vanish, the spell is sealed.

🖤 No restocks
🖤 One-of-a-kind talismans
🖤 Claim yours before it disappears into shadow

✨finally✨ finished this tapered bezel + deconstructed shank ring!

This was hands-down the hardest project I’ve taken on so far. In prep for starting my Diploma with @jewellersacademy I thought, “Okay bet, I’ll just make a collet setting real quick.”

😛😛😛🫠🙃🙄 spoiler: not that simple.

Full story is now live on my Substack — from failed bezels to hammer-setting a faceted stone for the first time. She’s not perfect, but she taught me everything.

Week 1 project from my Diploma in Fine Jewelry is complete!

Our techniques for the week was Reticulation & Keum-boo. I had some struggles with the gold leaf sticking, but in the end we got there ✨

I’m excited for what the rest of this year will bring, and the challenges i’ll get to overcome!

These aren’t currently for sale since I have to send them in for marking at the end of this term, but after that, if you want to claim them just DM me 🫶✨

Want to take a step inside my process? ⚒️

This year has been about experimenting and implementing. It’s been fun to test out different processes, from hand fabrication to lost wax casting. I’ve found ways to test my style, and these processes, and i’m coming to some wonderful conclusions.

All of these pieces you see in the last slide are projects i’m working on, and some of them will be available soon (tbd) ✨

I have some of my first collection still available at my link 🔗 in bio, so get them while they’re still available ❤️‍🔥

because even now—especially now—beauty matters.

this isn’t about pretending everything’s okay.
it’s about making something beautiful anyway.
because even in a world unraveling—
we still deserve art.
we still deserve softness.
we still deserve to feel powerful in our own skin.

i made these pieces with grief in my chest and fire in my hands.
and if you feel that too—
this jewelry is for you.

🖤 hand-carved. hand-forged. handmade to hold you.
📦 available now
✨ every purchase supports my immigrant in-laws + my small studio practice
