OBJECTS OF POWER
The Adder Bead
Objects carried for protection.
On an autumn evening, a small ring of coloured glass might appear into a pocket or the corner of a drawer. People called such curious things adder beads or adder stones, and stories gathered around them — luck, protection, snakes and old paths.
Some tales said the fae coveted them too, so a treasured bead might be hidden in an iron box, somewhere fairy hands were not meant to follow.
Years later, someone asked if it had protected her.
“No,” she said, “but it reminded me I have the power within myself.”
DARK STONE
Depth against gold.
Black onyx brings a clean, opaque contrast to warm metal.

The Autumn Ear

STONE / LANDSCAPE
Earth & Grounding
By late autumn, rain sits on stone and moss reads greener against darker ground. Jewellery follows the same shift: deeper colour, warmer gold and mineral detail.
Moss Agate brings irregular green inclusions into polished gold. Smoky Quartz sits between transparency and shadow. Black Onyx is opaque and graphic.

AFTER DARK
BLACK. WHITE. GOLD.
Gold warms against shadow. Black stones deepen. Polished surfaces catch fragments of light.
No cobwebs. No costume. Just cleaner lines, sharper contrast and jewellery that changes when the light does.

New Moon
By late autumn, darkness arrives early enough to notice. Then the first fine crescent appears.
In an old Edinburgh custom, the first sight of the new moon became a small private moment: turn a ring on the finger and make a wish. A tiny gesture for change, hope and whatever you wanted to carry into the next beginning.
Turn the ring. Make the wish. Keep going.
