Meet Therese: The Artist Behind The Amethyst Moon
Hello! I’m Therese. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a creative spirit ~ drawing, dreaming, and creating. My fascination for jewelry was first sparked while working in a professional bench jeweler’s shop, an experience that blossomed into a lifelong passion for fine craftsmanship and unique, handmade design.
Today, as the artist behind The Amethyst Moon, I pour that heritage of skill into every piece, crafting wearable art and home accents through a process of Modern Alchemy.
The Mission: Art with Intention
The Amethyst Moon is more than a jewelry line; it is an extension of my love for the natural world and a reflection of my personal journey. My mission is to create genuine, soul-centered pieces designed to act as physical anchors for your personal rituals, connecting you with the untamed beauty of the earth and your own inner intuition.
I handcraft a thoughtful array of treasures designed to bring magic into your daily life, including:
-
Artisan Jewelry: One-of-a-kind talismans and amulets forged in copper and silver to be worn as reflections of your inner strength.
-
Apothecary & Ritual Tools: Hand-encased crystal bottles and copper spoons designed to elevate your daily intentions.
-
Sanctuary Adornments: Crystal mobiles and handcrafted trinket dishes created to bring the grounding energy of nature into your home sanctuary.
The Process: Where Forest Meets the Studio
My creative process is deeply rooted in the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest – an inspiration I carry with me into my Southern California studio, where each piece is brought to life.
-
Stone Selection: I hand-select each gemstone for its aesthetic allure and inherent energy. Often, a found object – a piece of sea glass or a weathered stone, becomes the catalyst for a one-of-a-kind creation.
-
Alchemical Growth: I combine traditional silversmithing with the art of electroforming. Rather than casting metal, I use the laws of alchemy to grow copper onto stones over 12 to 24 hours. This slow, intentional process creates textured landscapes and organic grains that celebrate the raw, unpredictable beauty of nature.
A Wearable Story
Every piece I create is imbued with the energy of the earth and the spirit of the intentional soul. When you choose a creation from The Amethyst Moon, you are not just purchasing an adornment; you are welcoming a wearable reflection of your own journey – protected, empowered, and deeply connected to the natural world.
Love and Blessings 🌙💜🌙
Therese
