The latest Dark Skies Norther Lights Pendant is complete!

I stepped out and looked up into the velvet inky sky as pink tourmaline, blue topaz and emeralds danced around a diamond dusted night. Orion winked as I gazed into an unpolluted and pristine night where the Milky Way formed a hazy arch. How lucky are we to live in a place where true magical night skies inspire dreams, art, creativity and create such awe.

Titanium coated drusy quartz and amethyst . Hand fabricated from sterling silver sheet and wire.

20% of sale of this piece will be donated to the Friends of the Apostle Islands Dark Skies Campaign.

It might be time to put on the thick blanket. ❄️

As winter settles in, Lake Superior begins to change. ❄️🌊

Ice forms, the light softens, and a quieter kind of beauty takes shape along the shoreline — revealing scenes you can only find this time of year.

There’s something peaceful, powerful, and ever-changing about winter on the lake.
