Handmade Gifts for Her

Clean geometry, natural warmth. I cut each hexagon from a single piece of hardwood, sand the facets smooth, and finish it by hand before hanging it on solid sterling silver.

Because the wood is real, the grain runs differently through every hexagon. Each pair is one of a kind.

• Wood: Choose from maple, walnut, cherry, olivewood, purpleheart, canarywood, paduk, or chakte kok, each with natural grain variation
• Hardware: Solid sterling silver, hypoallergenic and nickel-free
• Finish: Hand-finished with food-safe oil and beeswax
• Made to order: Ships in 3 to 5 business days
• Packaging: Arrives on a plantable seed paper card that grows wildflowers; add a gift box at checkout
• Made in: Hamilton, Ohio

Care: Keep them dry, skip the shower and pool, and refresh the wood now and then with a drop of food-safe mineral oil or wood butter.

Lightweight and understated, they make a thoughtful anniversary, birthday, or thank-you gift for anyone who likes clean, modern design.

Gives back: Every order plants 2 trees, recovers 6 ocean-bound plastic bottles, and protects 20 bees through Greenspark.

Bold but never heavy. I turn these hoops from a single piece of hardwood, hand-shape the curve, and hang each pair on solid sterling silver so they sit light on the ear all day.

A round wood medallion with an intricate peacock design engraved edge to edge, hung on a sterling silver chain. The pattern shows off the grain of each wood differently, so the same design looks new in every species.

Materials and craft

I laser-engrave the design into a solid hardwood medallion, then sand and finish each one by hand with food-safe oil and beeswax. Darker woods make the engraving read bold and graphic; lighter woods keep it soft and detailed. Every piece is made in my one-person studio in Hamilton, Ohio, and hangs on genuine sterling silver.

Details

• Pendant: approximately 1.5 inch round medallion, solid wood
• Wood: nine options, Canarywood, Cedar, Cherry, Maple, Olivewood, Orangeheart, Purpleheart, Redheart, Walnut
• Chain: sterling silver, adjustable 18 to 20 inches
• Finish: food-safe oil and beeswax
• Made to order: engraved and finished after you order, ships in 3 to 5 business days
• Packaging: ships on a plantable seed paper card; add a gift box at checkout and it still ships on the seed paper
• Made in: Hamilton, Ohio

Care

Keep it dry when you can and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the wood looks dry over time, refresh it with a drop of food-safe mineral oil or my Wood Butter.

An everyday statement piece

One night sky, two pieces. I engrave the exact sky from the location, date, and time you choose onto a round olivewood pendant and a matching pair of Ascent drop earrings, cut from the same wood so the grain and tone line up.

• You give me a date and a time
• I send you a preview of your sky before I engrave anything
• Both pieces carry the same sky

Buying the set costs less than the two pieces separately. Olivewood is dense and heavily figured, so the grain running through your star chart is unique to your set.

Prefer a lighter wood? I can also make this set in maple. Message me and I will set it up.

Earthy with real depth. I frame a warm-orange paduk inlay in light maple and hang the teardrop on sterling silver earwires, so the two woods read against each other in one clean shape.

A slim vertical wood bar with a single line of metal set flush into the grain. It is quiet and modern, the kind of piece you reach for every day. Choose your wood and whether the inlay is sterling silver or brass, and it hangs on an adjustable sterling silver chain.

Materials and craft

I cut each bar from solid hardwood, rout a fine channel, and inlay the metal by hand so it sits level with the wood. Sterling silver reads bright and cool against darker woods; brass brings a warmer, vintage line. Every bar is sanded smooth, finished with food-safe oil and beeswax, and made in my one-person studio in Hamilton, Ohio.

A wood anniversary keepsake

Wood is the traditional fifth-anniversary gift, and the mix of warm wood and real metal makes this an easy one to give, for an anniversary, a birthday, or just because. Because each wood has its own grain, no two bars are exactly alike.
