Date & time TBA // Lily of the Valley Vol. III

Five years ago, I lost my incredible mother. In the final weeks of her life, lily of the valley bloomed throughout the nearby woods and gardens, and I’d send her photos whenever I encountered it. My mother loved all of my work, but my lily of the valley pieces were always her favorites, and we’d often talk in awe about how such a perfect flower could be real. The last piece of my jewelry that I was ever able to show her was a lily of the valley statement necklace like the one in the top center of this sketchbook page. It was the first time I crafted that particular design, and I sent her progress photos as it came to life. The finished necklace was the first piece I posted after her passing, and in the caption I made a promise to her that I would find my way back to happiness, back to myself.



Even now, that still feels like a challenge. My mother’s death was the first in a series of traumas spread throughout the last five years, and at times I’ve felt broken beyond repair. I’ve disconnected from my artistic practice many times, falling victim to the mindset that I was too damaged to create anything up to par. All along that winding and dark road, this remarkable little flower nudged me along, singing its reminder that it is darkest before the dawn.



Lily of the valley symbolizes a return to happiness, especially after a struggle for it. It is a flower of the fairy realm, with a magical innocence and connection to the inner child. Unassuming and delicate in appearance yet strong and prolific in spirit, lily of the valley is a poisonous flower that guards against predation with over 20 cardiac glycosides found in every part of the plant. If ingested, these can induce a host of symptoms such as abdominal pain, reduced heart rate, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and even, in extreme and rare cases, death. Conversely, these glycosides have been used medicinally to strengthen a weak heart, granting lily of the valley a connection to literal and symbolic heart medicine.

Although I’ve incorporated this flower into much of my work over the years, the first two volumes of my entirely lily of the valley collections were from before my mom passed. It feels like a full circle moment to launch volume three at a time when I’m recommitting my energy to myself and to my artistic practice. This collection is drawn from a place of seeing the light on the horizon, and these pieces are intended to serve as protection amulets, boundary-enforcing talismans, heart-soothers, and reminders to fiercely guard your energy in order to thrive. They are especially intended for anyone who carries the weight of an immense loss as they strive toward the light, or who has fallen to dark depths and clawed their way out. To all of you who have supported me and my work during this weird and winding time, thank you for being here. I am so grateful.

Verdant and stunning vesuvianite stones, with the occasional surprise appearance from other gems, sit within highly symbolic metalwork. As I handcraft each piece and share them here, I plan to elaborate on the many sacred sides of this truly special flower. Reveals to begin soon.

{In memory of my mother, who guided many through the dark.}
