The sea urchin quill inspired Amanda's first jewelry collection, a protective, armoring element to adorn the body. Now, it takes on a new form - wrapping upon itself to create a bezel in an infinite, ouroboros-like loop.

The process of recycling silver doesn't result in any loss of quality and therefore, gives you the same gorgeous piece of jewelry without the vast impacts of newly mined materials.

We have strengthened our commitment to our only home by partnering with 1% for the Planet®. 1% for the Planet® provides personalized giving strategies and forges powerful partnerships between businesses and environmental nonprofits to ensure the most impact possible.

About the

Quill Collection

Inspired by an image of a black sea urchin cutting graphic lines against a stark background, Amanda took the shape of its quill - a protective or armoring element - and made feminine shapes full of movement that wrapped and curved with the body to make elegantly edgy armor that is designed to empower.

About the

Gemstone

Malachite chrysocolla unites two copper minerals in one stone, swirls of deep forest green flowing into pools of ocean blue. The two form side by side in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, where water and time slowly transform the metal into color, and the pairing is found in places like Arizona, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Both minerals have ancient pedigrees. Egyptians ground malachite into the earliest eye paint and carved it into amulets, while Greek and Egyptian metalsmiths used chrysocolla, whose name means “gold glue,” to solder gold. No two pieces share the same pattern, so every stone is a small landscape of land meeting sea.

Metaphysically, malachite chrysocolla is considered a stone of transformation and calm expression, believed to release emotional tension, encourage honest communication, and support the wearer through times of change. Lush, layered, and one of a kind, malachite chrysocolla is a gem for anyone who wants to wear the earth and the ocean together.
