These elegant Slumber earrings honor the quiet celebration of arrival - millions of monarchs finally reaching Mexico's mountain forests, wings folded in deep rest after their epic journey. An inverted butterfly at 4 inches captures that moment of surrender when striving ends and stillness begins, the silent celebration of having made it home. The gentle drop creates subtle movement, a whisper of presence that honors both the journey completed and the restoration ahead. Delicate and light enough for everyday wear yet meaningful enough to carry the profound relief of arrival with you - that exhale when you finally stop, and allow yourself to just be. Choose bright sterling silver for luminous elegance, oxidized sterling silver for dramatic depth, or Keum-boo for warm 24K gold against deep black silver.

Bright and Oxidized Sterling Silver: Each piece is carefully hand-finished - polished or patinated to rich black and edged - then sealed to maintain its intended character and prevent tarnish.

Keum-boo is an ancient Korean gilding technique dating back 3,000 years. Each design uses pure 24K gold carefully applied to the silver surface, then heated and burnished until the molecules permanently fuse together - creating a bond that won't flake or wear away. I source my gold specifically from suppliers who specialize in Keum-boo sheet, ensuring the highest quality and lasting brilliance. Because of this monarch design's intricate details, every piece is a true labor of love requiring patience and precision. The result is remarkably resilient and maintains its warm luster permanently with proper care. Shadow meets radiance with oxidized silver and brilliant 24K gold edges.

CARE FOR ALL FINISHES
Remove Before Sleep
Taking your jewelry on and off becomes a sweet daily ritual - a moment to honor both the piece and yourself.

What to Skip:
Put on Jewelry after applying lotions, perfumes, hairspray or makeup. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and extended exposure to water.

BRIGHT STERLING SILVER
Your piece is sealed to prevent oxidation, but sterling silver will eventually develop some tarnish over time - it's just what silver does. If you notice tarnish, simply rub with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore the shine.

OXIDIZED STERLING SILVER
Your piece features a dramatic black oxidized finish that's been sealed to preserve the rich, dark patina. Although it's sealed, avoid touching the bright silver edges.
Cleaning: Wipe edges gently with a soft, polishing cloth. Do not use silver polish - it will remove the black finish. Pat dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.

KEUM-BOO
I source my gold from specialized Keum-boo suppliers, ensuring the highest quality and lasting brilliance.
Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use silver polish - it will remove the oxidized finish. For deeper cleaning, use only warm water with mild soap. Pat dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.

For Diamonds or Gemstones: Carefully clean with rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth, avoiding the oxidized areas.

That's it. Wear your jewelry, enjoy it, and it'll stay beautiful.

Artist's Statement

The Imaginal Cell Butterfly Collection

When a caterpillar experiences metamorphosis, it must first come to terms with its mortality. Amorphous cells, known as Imaginal Cells, multiply within the chrysalis, impervious to the caterpillar’s immune system. When the Imaginal Cells finally reach critical mass, the defeated caterpillar accepts its mortal fate, and metamorphosis begins. At this point, the newly awakened cells band together, transform, and become the mysterious creature that we know as “butterfly.”

The Imaginal Cell Collection honors the transformative, creative process of not knowing. Sometimes we must let go of the traditional constructs we “understand” to discover something new and beautiful within ourselves. This body of work deconstructs the geometric forms of the iconic monarch wing, transforming them into unexpected patterns and celebrating nature’s symmetry.

We are the sum of our own imaginations. Letting go is the seed to metamorphosis.
