Part of the Alluvial Collection, these earrings capture the shifting soils of the riverbank. Inspired by R. Solnit and R. Snedeker: “even what is solid was dissolved into and delivered by water, and even what is local came from afar.” Etched from a 1900s map, they trace the contours of water and land.

The Crescent City Fluidity Collection draws from the spirit of New Orleans and the flowing curve of the Mississippi River. Each piece features a fluid, graceful design that feels both effortless and refined.

These climbers can be styled two ways:
– As dangling earrings for movement
– Or in a more understated stud version (listed separately)

The Crescent City Fluidity Necklace follows the graceful curve of the Mississippi River as it passes New Orleans. Its clean, flowing line rests lightly along the neckline, creating a subtle connection to the city’s rhythm and sense of place.

Wear it alone for a quiet statement or layer it with other chains.

The Meandering Mississippi River Cuff shows the 1863 river from Baton Rouge through New Orleans to the mouth and the Gulf, including the full delta before recent subsidence.

Hand-etched from a historic map, it has two hand-painted patina layers for depth and color, and is hammer-formed and polished.

Each piece is handmade.

Born from the essence of unity, the Confluence Necklace reflects the beauty of flow and coming together. Handcrafted from a 1928 archival map, this piece captures where the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers converge, cradling the heart of Washington, D.C. It is a visual ode to shared purpose and collective strength.

A celebration of democracy, the Confluence Necklace invites us to flow together toward a common goal.

The Bayou St. John Etched Map Cuff Bracelet is crafted from an 1880s map of New Orleans’ bayou and the surrounding neighborhood. The Bayou was an important portage route used by Native Americans to travel from the lake to the river.

Living on Park Island in the bayou as a young adolescent was a very formative experience, revealing the beauty of the neighborhood and the city's architectural diversity.

The Crescent City Fluidity Collection is inspired by the soul of New Orleans and the gentle curves of the Mississippi River. Each handcrafted piece features a flowing line design that feels both organic and refined.

A simple, wearable nod to the river’s movement and the city’s enduring spirit.
