i love crystals. as a child, i collected stones, rocks, and specimens from the streets, parks, riverside, and creekside. i've had an affinity for these minerals this whole lifetime.

 

i started making crystal jewelry in 2020. on winter solstice 2019, i set the intention to start making jewelry. by spring 2020, i ordered my tools and supplies, and started to teach myself a variety of skills, ways to work with multiple mediums, that would integrate to become the pieces you see here today. i launched my first drop for winter solstice 2021.

 

the art started off as crystal▵. yet, as things took off, it became clear that searching "crystal jewelry" was not going to help people find the art. so, we changed the name to 8th house.

​

i'm into astrology, and have been since as far back as i can remember. i am a pisces - a double pisces, sun and moon. both my sun and moon are in the 8th house. the 8th house is the house of death, rebirth, transformation. these pieces all experienced a transformation, a rebirth. the processes are alchemical for me, transforming feelings, emotions, experiences - integrating life - into the art. ∞ 

​

each piece is handmade, one of a kind, original art crafted in upstate new york. as art, they should be handled and worn with care. these creations are an experience in listening. i channel designs and approaches. sometimes it's me creating, sometimes it's something beyond me. i listen to the crystals, to the guidance, get in flow, and see what happens.

​

some pieces are carried in store at star & splendor in troy.
