Intervals
Intervals are singular works or small limited releases that emerge outside the seasonal Offering cycle. They’re born from curiosity, experimentation, or unexpected inspiration. Rather than belonging to a larger body of work, each Interval stands on its own, honoring the sporadic rhythms of the creative practice.
INTERVAL NO. 1
Gaia
Before Tempered Earth, there was another chapter of my jewelry practice called Sol Eclectic. During that time, I found myself drawn to geometry—clean lines, sharp angles, and architectural forms—as well as many of the materials and textures that still call to me today.
Gaia sits at the intersection of those two seasons of my work. Originally created in 2019, its bold geometry belongs to that earlier practice, while its speckled ceramic beads, brass, and elemental palette seem to foreshadow what would eventually become Tempered Earth. When I rediscovered the final pair while preparing Offering No. 1, I was struck by how naturally they belonged beside the work I was making now.
This is the final remaining pair of Gaia. It’s a record of where I’ve been and a glimpse of where I was headed. Once collected, the design will not be reproduced.
INTERVAL NO. 2
Solara
Solara began as a prototype I lived with for a while after creating Radiance for Offering No. 1. I wore the first pair for a couple of weeks, adjusting the proportions and refining the motif until the design felt complete without losing its simplicity.
Like Radiance, the Baule-inspired brass pendants reminded me of the sun—not only as a source of light, but as a symbol of vitality, steadiness, and transformation. Paired with Ghana glass beads, African brass, and 14k gold-filled ear wires, Solara embodies that same warmth in a smaller design.
Grounded and radiant, they’re made to catch the light without asking for too much attention.
INTERVAL NO. 3
Relic
Relic began with a collection of handmade wire links I made around 2020 and never used. When I rediscovered them while sorting through old studio supplies, they still carried the small indentations and imperfections left by my pliers—marks I might once have tried to hide, but that now felt worth preserving.
As the earrings came together, the links began to resemble joints or bones to me, like individual pieces joining together to become a whole. Paired with black sandcast beads and the worn character of African brass and Baule-inspired pendants, they seemed almost excavated rather than newly made. In their own way, they already had a history.
Relic honors the idea that beauty can ripen over time, and that sometimes unfinished work is simply waiting for the right moment to become what it was meant to be.
INTERVAL NO. 4
Resonance
The Resonance earrings are an extension of Attunement, one of the necklaces from Offering No. 1. I wanted to return to some of the same materials and colors without recreating the piece exactly to see what might happen if I let that visual language take on another form.
The cowrie shells became the center of the design. They made me think about the way we hold shells to our ears and say we can hear the ocean inside them. There’s something about that image that feels connected to attunement: listening closely, becoming receptive, and noticing what answers back.
That’s where the name Resonance came from. To me, resonance is what remains after we receive a message. It's the echo, vibration, or feeling that continues on. In that way, these earrings feel related to Attunement without being a copy of it. They embody some of the same earthy, watery language, but in their own way.
