Monstera Pin + Heart Leaf Pin New gold enamel pins are here! These cuties are based off our leaf jewelry designs.

I wanted to share a little glimpse into the design process for some my products. I ran across this old moon mobile product idea that has yet to come to life. All our our designs start as hand drawn or digitally drawn sketches done by me before they come to life. I absolutely love the initial design process, where you can dream up anything. I love creating mockups and working out the details. It is a really exciting part of the process. In this case, this would eventually be all brass metal mobile. It’s based off of our monstera leaf...

STEP 1: Collage Inspiration - Geometric Totem Shapes I’ve been tossing around some new product ideas for a new collection lately. I created these totem shape jewelry pieces last year for Rare Bird and they’ve been a big hit with our customers.
