Celebrating the Seasons Through Jewelry: Winter Solstice, Imbolc, and Yule
The witchy feeling of the changing seasons has always inspired me—each one carrying its own magic and symbolism. This winter, I wanted to honor three deeply meaningful moments: the quiet reflection of Winter Solstice, the warmth and light of Yule, and the spark of new beginnings at Imbolc. These pieces captured my eye this season, as well as the essence of these celebrations.
The Night Owl – Honoring Winter Solstice: Last night, while walking my dogs by the ocean on the Great Highway, I saw an owl land on a signpost. It wasn’t my first owl sighting recently—another one swooped by me on my back deck, illuminated by the light as it turned its head mid-flight. It felt like a moment of magic, a reminder of nature’s quiet power during the darkest time of the year.
That moment inspired me to bring new life to a wax seal design that had been sitting in my workshop. And so, the Night Owl Pendant was born—a symbol of wisdom, introspection, and the quiet beauty of Winter Solstice. Each night owl piece carries the spirit of that night, where nature whispered its secrets.
Winter Solstice is Dec 21, 2024.
The Three Diamond Horizon Dome– A Yule Tribute
Yule is a time for warmth, light, and the promise of renewal. This 14k domed gold ring is inspired by distant mountain horizons. Its softly sloping arches and twinkling diamonds mimic the peaks and stars of a crisp winter night.
Paired with the season’s glow, this ring becomes a beautiful symbol of beauty in life’s transitions and traditions.
Moonstone and Diamond Ring in 14k Gold– Dreams and Light
Blue sheen moonstone holds such an allure—it’s like catching moonlight in your hands. Nestled in a golden setting, this high-grade oval moonstone flashes brilliant blue under the light, flanked by two sparkling diamonds on each side.
Moonstone is a stone of intuition, dreams, and guidance—perfect for Yule and beyond. This piece feels like a quiet promise, a reflection of the dreams waiting to come alive in the light of the new year.
Yule is Dec 21, 2024–Jan 1, 2025.
The Moonlit Crescent – A Glimpse of Imbolc
As the days grow longer, Imbolc marks the spark of returning light. When I look at this pendant it takes me to twinkling and quiet nights where dreams are stirring to life as winter begins to thaw. This moonlit pendant in the shape of a waning crescent with salt-and-pepper diamonds scattered like tiny stars, allows you to carry the beauty of the night sky with you.
Imbolc is Feb 1, 2025.
