"The jewelry with which we choose to embellish ourselves speaks volumes. To embrace a Parrish Relics piece is to gravitate toward meaning and sentiment, reflecting our most innermost feelings, special memories, or symbols that resonate within us." ~ Stephanie Chatfield for the Pre-Raphaelite Issue of Enchanted Living Magazine

recent collaborations
miracle window collection
Created for the Thomas Becket Exhibition at the British Museum. One of the Miracle Windows from the Trinity Chapel of Canterbury Cathedral was a highlight of the show, so I was inspired to design an Amulet based on the main clover shape in the central panel. Curling tendrils of floriated ornament wind around the clover. Set with jewel-toned stained glass reflecting the colors used in the original window.
This collection sold out early in the run of the Exhibition, a second order was placed which sold out as well.
burne-jones collection
Created for the Edward Burne-Jones Exhibition at Tate Britain. Found image Pictorial Amulets that celebrate the beautiful faces that Burne-Jones so lovingly painted inThe Golden Stairs, matching opalescent earrings, sea-toned Stained Glass Arch pendants inspired by his Hope & Faith Stained Glass Window Designs in Oxford with Morris & Co.
