You know when you come across another woman-owned brand and immediately think: Oh, my people are going to get this?
That’s how I felt when I discovered Jill and The Clover Exchange.
Jill creates soft graphic tees and sweatshirts for recovering people pleasers, boundary setters, and women who like a little sass with their self-expression.
And I have to say, the Absolutely Not Classic Crewneck might be my favorite. Two little words that can save you from a whole lot of over-explaining.
It comes in 5 colors, so you can choose exactly how you’d like your “Absolutely Not” delivered.

I’m leaning deep into floral designs lately. Just finished up this sweet little imperfect ruby in a gold bubble setting on a textured silver flower head. More will definitely be coming in this new line. Come snag this beauty at the Park Hill Fall Arts Fest on September 12-13!

Full Moon in Aquarius this week, all about the collective, so I’m handing over the mic. This is Vaughn in her turquoise ring. I could describe what it feels like to wear one of my pieces, but she said it better: “I call it my power piece. It makes me feel powerful.” What’s your jewelryq doing for you?

What I make is not decoration. It’s a reminder you can’t take off and lose. You set an intention, you assign it to a piece, and then it does the quiet work of pulling you back to yourself a hundred times a day. At the sink. In a hard meeting. Mid-doom-scroll. That little glint on your hand going, hey, remember what you’re calling in. That’s the whole job.

New moon (in Cancer) tonight, which is the universe’s clean slate. Set an intention. Then (and this is the part I stole from years of coaching) give it somewhere to live. Pick a piece you already own, decide it’s the keeper of this intention, and let it catch your eye all cycle long. An intention you can see is a lot harder to forget. If you need some guidance on how to pick your pieces, take my Jewelry Archetype quiz (link in bio). What are you calling in this new moon? Tell me below.

practicing start setting. This is a technique I ADORE and it is so much harder than it looks. I’ve been practicing for weeks and finally feel I’m close to nailing it. Do you like jewelry with star settings? Hit a sister up! 🥰

Just wrapped up one of my Term 3 projects in the Jessica Rose | Jewellers Academy Diploma in Fine Jewelry. Y’all. This work has been HARD but we’re winding down our final term, and I’m super proud of how much I’ve grown as a jeweler. This project was filigree (obvi), and I thought at first it would be to “fussy” for my taste. And ya, the end result is a bit of departure from my typical design aesthetic, but I really, really love this technique, and you’ll be seeing more of it! Sterling silver and 14k gold with a tiny champagne diamond. 17” long. Wouldn’t this make the most stunning bridal necklace?

Confession time, since Mercury retrograde is about honesty. The things I find packed under people’s stones at the bench: lotion, sunscreen, dog hair, and once, unmistakably, sourdough starter. She made the bread with her rings on. 😱 Respect, but also no. That gunk doesn’t just look gross, it blocks light from reaching the stone, so your diamond literally can’t sparkle. And even worse, it will push your stones out of their settings. Take it off for the messy stuff and give it a gentle soak in a non-toxic jewelry cleaner or Dawn dish soap.

What’s your worst ‘I wore my rings doing THAT’ story? I need them.

Working on a new cluster ring with tiny white topaz accents. First major project in gold, and if I had known gold was so much easier to work with, maybe I wouldn’t have been so scared to drop $4k per ounce on it. 😂

Practicing filigree today, something new for me. At first I thought it was too fussy, but I’m starting to love it and have all sorts of ideas on what to make with it. Which design do you like best?
