5 out of 5 starsI'm so glad I snagged these when I did! Both pieces are beautiful, and arrived very well packaged. Not to mention the amount of people that comment on the necklace!

5 out of 5 starsThis package really brightened up my day. The little touches they put like the stamped flowers on the box, the twine used to package the necklace (now since thrown away), and the little placard telling the species of flower with a cute little drawing of fiddleheads on the back made me even more glad to have bought jewelry from this shop. The only thing I'd say about my purchase is that I thought it would have been smaller (you can see in the picture that it's the length of my palm), but it's not that big a deal. I've wanted to buy something from this store for so long and I am so glad I finally have. If you've been thinking of buying resin jewelry, you should totally buy from this store (the prices are pretty reasonable compared to other Etsy shops I've looked at).

4 out of 5 starsThis is my third necklace from this shop. The pendant itself is really pretty, but the chain was too long.

5 out of 5 starsIt's so beautiful! This is a plant that means a lot to me, and when I saw on tumblr that there was going to be only one of these going up for sale, I sent a message and asked if I could purchase right away. I've bought a necklace here before that was wonderful-I have sensitive skin and the chains are of a really good quality and have never made me itch or break out. The shipping was a little slow (not by much, I didn't mind) and I was surprised that she included a little moss necklace as a courtesy gift to make up for it. Truly one of the best pieces of jewelry I own

Frequently asked questions
Can you make me a piece with a specific plant species?
While I am always happy to go as far out of my way as I can to meet all of your requests as best I can, I gather all of my own botanical specimens, and thus, unfortunately, the plants that I have access to at any given time are very circumstantial. If it is a species that definitely doesn't grow in inland New England, unfortunately I won't be able to get my hands on it without outside help.
However, I am always willing to accept pressed or fresh specimens from you if you would like me to make something from them, assuming the specimen you are sending is legal to both possess and ship. Please contact me for further information if you would like to arrange something like this.
Will the specimens rot or decay?
Absolutely not! All the specimens in my shop have been thoroughly dried, sealed, and encased in solid, high quality epoxy resin. There is no water left inside the specimen which could cause decay, nor any air to touch them.
Like the herbarium specimens which inspire my work, some pieces may fade in color over time to a slightly paler hue, as is the nature of pressed plants. The rate of fading varies largely from species to species and pendant to pendant, but it can be greatly slowed by observing the following care instructions.
Care instructions
Please be sure to store your herbarium jewelry in as cool an environment as possible, and out of direct sunlight.
Please keep your jewelry away from corrosive substances or any spray-on polymers or acrylic. For instance, please remove earrings/plugs before applying hairspray.
If possible, avoid wearing large, flat pendants for prolonged periods of time against bare skin if you are perspiring, as some sweat can be slightly corrosive and can slowly warp the back of pendants.
Can the sizing of any of the pieces be adjusted?
Unfortunately, all of my jewelry, with the exception of lichen plugs, are cast in custom-made molds that take a lot of careful preparation and work to plan, carve, and eventually cast. Therefore, it isn't generally possible to craft a new mold from scratch for one custom piece. If you would like to work out an arrangement for a custom-sized piece for a slightly increased price, please feel free to send me a message!
How do I get into contact with you if I have a question?
You can contact me via the "Contact Shop Owner" button on the left-hand side of the shop home page, or on any one of the individual listings! I will always get back to as soon as I am able, generally within 24 hours.
If you have a problem with your order, please DO NOT try to get into contact with me via the review function! I have an open return and exchange policy and am always perfectly happy to work with you to amend whatever problem you may have with your order, but I currently do not view my own reviews for mental health purposes, so if you try to get my attention with a review, I WILL NOT see it.
