Both shops just got in new drop moldavite pendants! Moldavite is a tektite (natural impact glass) that formed about 15 million years ago when meteorite hit southern Germany. This impact launched material across the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria. Moldavite is known for its unique olive green textured appearance and longstanding history as a sought after stone.

Items pictured are located at our Park St. Location.

Our last purveyor of butterfly jewelry had discontinued their line over a year ago, but we found a new wonderful company to feature! These pieces are ethically sourced from butterfly farms in Peru and set in sterling silver. We have pendants, bracelets, earrings and sets just put out today. (Please note these pieces don’t like getting wet)
