The magpie is the curious, whimsical little mascot that makes its appearance here and there in my jewelry website, but this cute bird is also the protagonist of a very emotional story....
Sam Bloom fell into a deep depression after a fall from a roof terrace during a family holiday left her paralysed from the chest down. But help was to come from an unexpected source: a magpie chick which had fallen from its nest. When the family took in the bird, it brought joy back to their home and allowed Sam to make a new start. Read the entire story of Sam's family and the magpie here.

Lunar eclipse
"Eclisse lunare" inspired the design of this one of a kind, delicate ring handmade in reclaimed silver. Unfortunately, we will need to wait until January 31, 2018 for the next total lunar eclipse! This event will be visible in Asia, Australia, Pacific and Western North America. In the meantime, enjoy the ring!
