❆ Persephone's Return ❋

Persephone's Return is a small gathering of jewels that pay homage to the shifting seasons, pieces inspired either by the quiet end of Winter or the bright beginning of Spring.

While working in colder months, I was drawn to moody or icy gems with shadows and shimmer: Rutilated Quartz, Black Onyx, Moonstone, Aquamarine, dusky-teal Fluorite, and Labradorite. As the days grew longer and light began to change, I found myself reaching for colour. Turquoise, Aurora Opal, Citrine, Sunstone, Baltic Amber, and Opals in blue, peach, and pink soon joined the mix, transforming the collection into a vibrant celebration of renewal and growth.

In Greek mythology, Persephone is the goddess of spring, girlhood, and vegetation. For part of the year she reigns as Queen of the Underworld, but when Winter ends, she rises back to earth. Her return brings blossoms, warmth, and colour, awakening the world from its Winter sleep. Just like Persephone emerging from the shadows, this collection moves from darkness into light, carrying the promise of new beginnings.

Every piece in this collection is crafted by hand and hammer, using ethically sourced gems and recycled precious metals. These jewels hold the comfort I found during a darker season, and the hope that bloomed as the days grew brighter.
