Andewyn Moon

It's been the longest time. At least it feels that way... somewhere in the beginning of August was my last post on this platform.  So much has happened since then. I didn't intentionally stay away from this space, it just *happened* this way.  When my boy Baxter passed...and just barely one year after his brother, my boy Jupiter left this plane, I began to feel ungrounded.  I'd experienced some of this when Jupiter left. Baxter leaving so soon after the loss of Jupiter brought it to a whole other level. I decided that for this healing, I had to get right into the midst of the Mother.  I recently took a part time gig with our local lavender farmer.   Stepping away from the jewelry (for a short while) and into this outfit has been a special healing sauce for me.  It's wonderful in every way and I hope you've caught some of my early morning videos in Stories.  The land is something to see that time of day. I've had my cauldron out and I'm in the midst of brewing a few things. 🌙  First, I'm planning another Story Sale to happen in the next couple of weeks.   I'll preview the pieces available to buy over the coming days.  The last one was a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to doing it again! 🌙  I'm also brewing a new jewelry collection!  The release day will be sometime in the early(ish)  fall. I'm researching stones now...  this color pallette is everything! I can't wait to share it with you ✨  It's been something else (in the best way) to have the inspiration land on me again.   I haven't pushed, but the Muse is peeking around corners to let me know she's nearby. 🌙  Keep your eyes on Stories this week if you like to see how the jewelry is made.   I'm finishing up a gorgeous Flower Keeper custom and will share behind the scenes and process shots in Stories.  It feels so good to be back at the bench! That's enough about me.  Tell me about you!  How've you been??? xo  #andewynmoon (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChzvGzBOWOX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My father is growing gorgeous sunflowers in his yard.  They gave me the inspiration for this Flower Keeper ring that I reworked recently and set with glowing garnet. I'll have this one available in a shop update coming at the end of summer, along with a necklace and earrings to match. Would you like to see more in this style?  Let me know below. xo. #andewynmoon . . . . . . . . . . . . #sunflowerinspired #sunflowerlove #flowermedicine #flowerinspiration #flowerchild #natureinspiredjewelry #gardeninspiredjewelry #gardenwitch #jewelrymagic #natureinspiredartist #naturalmagic #floraljewelry #botanicaljewelry #botanicalring #botanicalart #ethicaljewelry #recycledjewelry #bohemianstyle #bohemianjewelry #artisanjewelry #uniquejewelry #oneofakindjewelry #oneofakindring #riojeweler #flowerpower (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgX9dumO6an/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've been asked before, why do I focus so much on nature for my designs? Why not something else, something more trendy or flashy? This one makes me smile. I view jewelry as more than just adornment.  That's a fun, expressive use for it and I do get a kick when my faithful patrons tell me they've received compliments when wearing my work - I love that. But long ago when I first created Andewyn Moon (it was Andewyn Designs back then), I began to receive messages from the women who loved and bought my work.  They told me deep stories of overcoming significant challenges in their lives,  of how the Natural World had supported them through these challenges. How my work had become a sacred talisman representative of that connection, their journey and their victory. That was powerful for me, to know that the work my hands created had such a place in so many lives. The perspective shift helped me to evolve this work into what you see today.  This jewelry is made to help connect you to what I and so many others have found comfort, support and purpose in. This Natural World where we don't just exist, but have a sacred place and part to play, if we choose to. That connection can heal us. The talismans I create are meant to remind you of that and celebrate your journey on this most sacred of paths. And besides all of that nature is *always* on trend in my world. 💙 I'm re-working the ring in this photo to have a garnet stone.  I'm making a garnet Flower Keeper set of the necklace,  earrings and this ring.  It's what feels right for these talismans today.   You can catch behind the scenes for the making in Stories this afternoon. I hope you'll join me. xo. 🖤🌙  #andewynmoon . . . . . . . . . . . . #whyitsmadematters #talismanjewelry #madewithintention #handmadejewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #whimsicaljewelry #howitsmade #natureinspiredjewelry #natureinspiredartist #silverjewelry #handmadesilverjewelry #tennesseeartisan #wildflowermagic #natureinspiredart #riojeweler #ethicaljewelry #fabricatedjewelry #powerjewelry #silverstatementring #bohemianstyle #earthinspiredjewelry #woodlandjewelry #slowcraft #madebyhand #nashvillemaker #afroindigenousartist (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgRsXwTOHyP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

** Customs open ** I have three made to order spots open for Flower Keeper earrings. Choose between peach moonstone or rainbow moonstone, both magical in their own way. These earrings are always a treat to create! They're inspired by my wildflower garden and constructed from recycled. 925 sterling silver.  Each component is cut by hand from silver with my jeweler's saw, and then soldered in layers for a stunning pair of earrings that will last lifetimes. Head to the link in my bio and tap the Moon Jewelry tab to snag one of these limited custom spots. ✨ xo. 🖤🌙 #andewynmoon . . . . . . . . . . #botanicalart #botanicaljewelry #botanicalearrings #natureinspiredjewelry #natureinspiredartist #naturewitch #handmadejewels #forgedsilverjewelry #flowermedicine #flowerinspiration #moonstonemagic #ooakjewelry #rainbowmoonstoneearrings #tennesseeartisan #wildflowermagic #afroindigenousartist #gardenwitch #gardeninspiredart #riojeweler #woodlandjewelry #talismanjewelry #recycledsilverjewelry #smallbatch #handmadegoods #goddessenergy #bohemianstyle #crescentmoonjewelry #moonearrings #uniquesilverjewelry (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNtyxAOAoX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A custom pair of Flower Keeper earrings in progress for a special lady.   I love when my patrons come to me with ideas for my designs that I haven't imagined.  Like this one.   The stone being set for this custom pair of earrings was one I hadn't thought to use, but goodness wait till you see the final product. It's pure *magic*. 🔮 xo. 🖤🌙  #andewynmoon . . . . . . . . . . . . . #jewelrydesign #wipjewelry #howitsmade #howitsmadematters #artisanjewelry #customjewelry #tennesseeartisan #shoplocal #floraljewelry #botanicaljewelry #gardeninspiredjewelry #gardenwitch #natureinspires #jewelrymagic #botanicalart #ethicaljewelry #botanicalearrings #flowerearrings #flowerlovers #crescentmoonjewelry #uniquejewelry #recycledsilverjewelry #ethicallymade #jewelryaddiction #wildflowermedicine  #natureinspiredjewelry #magicaljewelry #flowerchild #smallbatch (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9F1QCOv-4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I created the first Remnant pieces 15 years ago (!!!), they were mainly necklaces, maybe an earring pair or two.   I always meant to expand the line, but just as I began finding my signature style for one of a kinds, the Etsy gods smiled upon me and I lived in a haze of nonstop, made to order staple jewelry making for several years. No complaints,  banging out bangles and earrings day after day paid the bills and then some.  But making the same thing over and over, (and over and over) was not why I began this journey. For my one of a kind jewelry, I wanted to create work with deep meaning, the way my West African and Native American Ancestors did.  Not just pretty pieces to throw away after a season of wearing them, but powerful,  grounding talismans,  built for the timeless purpose of amplifying this sacred connection to nature.   The Remnant line was one of the first collections I created.  It's about unearthing and tuning into the ancient knowledge and truths of nature we each contain within us as beings on this planet.  Through stone and metal I work with the muses to tell this story, piece by piece. ✨ I'm hoping to create a full Remnant collection later this year or early next year.  For now, the ring in the photograph set with Montana Agate featuring a bird in flight is available. Tap the photo for details on how to make this one yours. xo. 🖤🌙  #andewynmoon (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfytGFEuwND/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I recently sent these Desert Oasis earrings out west.  There's something so right about turquoise in summer. I'm hoping to have a few pieces finished and up on the site for this weekend.  If I can make that happen I'll announce it to newsletter subscribers first, so head to the link in my bio to sign up. xo 🖤🌙 #andewynmoon (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfVAeDfuVMs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A snapshot of some evening trail magic from yesterday's walk for you. I needed it after this week. My favorite wildflowers are back and inspiring me with their potent symbolism of sanctuary. Something good is brewing ✨ *  The raven flanked turquoise ring in the photograph is available.  Tap for details.

The support for yesterday's Story sale was amazing. Thanks so much for showing up and making it a great day.  The sweet messages, shares and purchases meant the world to me! All orders for the sale go out tomorrow. I'll try to share a bit of the packaging process as well. I'm thinking of doing this once a month, how does that sound? I'll run some dates in a poll in Stories to see what works best. Happy Juneteenth to my Black sisters, brothers and non-binary humans.  I'm celebrating my incredible family today and everyday.  We're still out here doing the damn thing in our magical way.

The deer ate my Autumn Joy! This...after years of coexisting peacefully via the Irish Springs soap that has always kept them at bay.  I'm at a loss. This plant has been with us since the very first year Jacki and I moved in together. They even survived a move.  Heart. Broken. 💔 Anybody have recommendations for keeping these beautiful killers away from my precious plants? My heart can't take much more. *This necklace from the Verdant Season collection isn't for sale, but I'm sharing the finished version from the #wip I posted a few photos back. xo. #andewynmoon (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce7QkamuHzA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've had my head down working on a decent sized wholesale order this week. It's kept me quiet on the social media front, but I'm popping on to share a better view of that Tennessee bear bolo I finished a while back. NFS, but a fun custom that has my inspiration wheels spinning. xo #andewynmoon (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2G4H9OQVi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm finding magic happening on the land everyday. Lately it's the way this Clematis changes over time. The spiraly balls of chartreuse tendrils come after the petals have fallen away and it's my favorite thing right now. 💚💛💚 What magic is happening on the land where you are? xo. #andewynmoon (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cer1BSIOYjn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm always and forever inspired by the land.  This necklace of North American turquoise, marcasite and recycled sterling silver is an ode to my time out in the deserts of the west. Blue skies, glinting sands and the promise of a big moon to bless the night.
