A supernova is an explosion of a star who plays a key role in distributing elements throughout the universe. Many of the elements found here on Earth are made in the core of stars. These elements travel on to form new stars, planets and everything else in the universe. A beautiful cycle of rebirth and renewal, these threaders are a constant reminder of the endless possibilities the universe holds. Each star is an original design that has been turned into a model and then cast and plated by our small team.  Made in 14k gold fill metal chains and 18k gold plated star charms.

In Greek mythology, Aether was the pure, golden upper air breathed by the gods — the luminous layer where light moves in endless, unbroken waves. These hoops carry that same quality. A polished croissant twist wraps the full circumference of each hoop, each rounded ridge catching warm light as it turns. Chunky without being heavy, sculptural without being fussy. A hinged snap closure disappears into the form. The kind of earring that works as hard at 8am as it does at midnight.

Nyx moved through the night sky wrapped in dark robes and stars, effortless in her presence.

Named for the Greek goddess who drove her silver chariot across the night sky, these hoops carry that same cool, unhurried radiance. Alternating marquise and round cubic zirconia stones are bezel-set across a wide gold tone band — each stone a shard of moonlight caught in metal. The open lattice between settings keeps the design airy despite its presence, luminous without trying. A hinged snap closure secures flush at the ear. Selene never needed to announce herself, and neither do these.

A matte black oval cabochon sits within a sweeping gold-tone crescent, its curve traced by a line of clear rhinestones that amplifies the contrast between deep black and bright crystal.

A nautilus shell rendered in warm, high-polish gold — the spiral coils inward from a scalloped outer edge to a tight central whorl, with fine radiating ribs fanning across the entire surface. The form is both architectural and organic, the kind of shape that looks equally at home in a natural history museum and on an ear. Stamped 14K G.F. on the interior, these are gold filled rather than plated, meaning a substantially thicker layer of gold bonded to a base metal core — a meaningful step up in quality and longevity from standard costume jewelry. The steel post and butterfly back closures are practical and secure. Coastal and nature-inspired jewelry of this caliber had a strong moment in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and pieces like this have held their appeal without effort.
