This coin pendant design is inspired by my life at my cottage. Before I'd ever even begun looking for property I'd been going through one of the toughest patches in my life- often turning to my journal to express sadness over a loss of self I'd been feeling. Months after finding my little haven in the woods I was leafing through the pages when I found an entry that made tears come to my eyes:

"I know I could love me more- should love her more. I would know her mind, and the pains and the sorrows, and I would not have to hold her wrists to keep her near me, or have to ask for love in return. I would cradle her heavy head, as she would mine. We whisper soothing secrets to each other on dark nights, like candles flickering to one another. She wisps through lupine growing in fields surrounding a cottage in the woods. She knocks on my door with excitement and schemes, and we love each other and wipe tears from our cheeks, and when I look at her I can't understand how I could have ever locked her out. I will find you, I will find you. Please keep our secret life in the forest safe for me until I can run to you, until I can find me again."

I'd written this hoping to find myself again one day; to know myself like I once had. I stood there, looking out the door of my cottage as the sun set golden over the lupine growing out front, tears streaming down my cheeks, and felt whole.

The lupine design on the face of this pendant is a reminder to stay true; when I see it I remember the girl who found herself in the woods, in a field of lupine.

The pendant is 13mm in height. The chain 16 inches with a 2-inch extension chain for up to 18 inches in total length. It is made of 100% sterling silver. Also available plated with 18-karat gold. I've spent hours and hours on this design, going through several rounds of revision until it was just right. We partnered with a manufacturer that is just as passionate about sustainability as I am. They are almost 100% powered by solar energy; they only used recycled water in their manufacturing processes; all of their materials are responsibly sourced. We've also partnered with packaging vendors that offer 100% recycled/recyclable packaging. I am extremely proud of this project, and am over the moon to finally be able to share it with you all. :)

Hope you love it as much as I do. ♡♡
