What Makes It Uncommon

The Lady of the Woods

In Celtic mythology, the birch is a symbol of rebirth, hope, and new beginnings. Jewelry designer Nancy Nelson harnesses some of that transformational energy in creating these shimmering earrings. She began with pieces of fallen birch bark that she altered to form an organic, teardrop shape. She then used lost-wax casting, a technique that has been in use for the past 5000 years, to create perfect, sterling silver and brass copies of the bark. These nature-born pendants are then suspended from gold-filled ear hooks. The result is an eye-catching accessory that is also rich with symbolism. Handmade in Maryland.

“Once I find that perfect object with beautiful shapes and texture, I figure out how I can transform it into a chic piece.”

Consider Nancy Nelson a nature talent scout. "I usually discover the items I cast not too far from home," she says of the woods surrounding her Maryland studio. "Once I find that perfect object with beautiful shapes and texture, I figure out how I can transform it into a chic piece."

Her passion for working with metals emerged while obtaining her BFA in industrial design. After enrolling in a metalsmithing class where she made her first sterling silver ring, she was hooked and continued developing her own unique style. Modern shapes and rustic forms reflect her belief that jewelry should evoke an emotion and tell a story for every wearer.
