Inspiration: Hot chocolate

Name: It’s a Choco-lot

Description: Warm browns swirl with creamy whites, like chocolate mixing with hot milk (of your choice) to make a comforting, sweet cup of hot chocolate. Gold glints from top to bottom in the form of textured rings, bubble bead caps, and flashy paddle drops. Little beads of white top the hot chocolate beads, like marshmallows or whipped cream (with an iridescent coating). Wear these earrings while you’re sitting in front of flickering firelight, or curled up, surrounded by fairy lights, drinking a cup of hot cocoa — or, at least, imagine yourself there!

Each pair will be unique due to the swirls of brown and white being unique to each bead. I will, as always, match the beads in each pair as best I can.

Approx. 1.625” long, including the hypoallergenic, stainless steel hooks.

Price: $14

Cap: 65

Inspiration: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Name: Nocturne of Shadow

Description: Inspired by watching my brothers play Ocarina of Time, and getting their help with the scary parts.

Black sliced through with glinting gold, a metaphor for a deep, dark temple lit by a warrior of hope. Put this bracelet on and step into another time, another world – a world of heroes.

Starts at approx. 6.625” long, with an extender

Inspiration: Selkies, Song of the Sea

Name: Selkie’s Song

Description: Blue somewhere between cobalt and indigo, flashing with iridescence; silver rippled like waves and shaped a bit like seals. A bracelet for a little selkie girl, running to the sea.

The links are textured on one side and smooth on the other; they alternate directions so that no matter which way the bracelet turns on your wrist, several of the links will have the ripple texture showing. Please note that the blue beads have highlights of iridescence; the iridescent coating does not cover the entire bead.

Approx. 6.75” long on the first jump ring; fastens up to approx. 8.625”. If your wrist is smaller than 6.75”, the bracelet can be clasped on the open links.

Price: $16

Inspiration: Pumpkins!

Name: Pumpkin Spice

Description: A charming, silver pumpkin, set off with sparkling, deep green goldstone and a pop of bright green. Floral touches of silver set off the green and act as vines for the pumpkin (at least, I think so). You can wear this on a necklace as a pendant, or attach it to a purse, keychain, or zipper – wherever the clasp fits!

Approx. 1.5” long, including the clasp.

Please note that I do not recommend putting this on a pet’s collar; glass and wire are relatively delicate.

Price: $11

The Miss Galaxy necklace and Saints and Steel necklace are returning for Polish Pickup: Rewind!

Miss Galaxy necklace
Available 07/02-07/05/2021 at https://polishpickup.com/!

Inspiration: Miss Galaxy and Miss Mars from Lisa Frank

Description: Stunning aura quartz features in the pendant of these necklaces, dyed in a bright, L.F.esque rainbow – aqua to green to yellow to orange to pink, from top to tip – and coated in iridescent titanium for an extra kiss of rainbow. These vivid crystals hang from silver-plated crescent moons to bring in the alien and celestial theme of the inspiration art.

Every necklace will be unique, thanks to the variation in the quartz pendants (see the photos with tons of crystals for an idea of the variation). The chain, clasp, and jump rings are stainless steel.

The chain is approx. 24.5” long, and the pendant lengths vary from approx. 2.5-3” long.

Price: $16

Inspiration: Crystals and rocks

Name: Crystal Garden necklace

Description: Obsessed with crystals, have them on every available surface? Been collecting rocks since you were a kid? Same! The Crystal Garden necklace features a matte cylinder of prehnite, a very pretty addition to any crystal collection, framed by antiqued and shiny copper. You’ll also receive a piece of raw black tourmaline.

Every piece of prehnite is different, from bright, light green to deep, forest green; please look through the photos to see the variety of these crystals. Additionally, every crystal has needles of black tourmaline in varying density; the tourmaline needles are the black, straight lines that are sometimes dense enough to be a black spot. Some pieces also contain dark, grassy green, cube-like and/or moss-like spots of epidote.

Approx. 18” long with a 1” extender.

Inspiration: Madagascan sunset moth from Animal Crossing

Name: The Most Beautiful Moth

Description: "The Madagascan sunset moth is said to be the most beautiful moth in the world....” Shimmering glass pillows in hues of green, blue, and warm neutrals are the focus of these earrings; they are framed by matte, peridot-green beads and luminescent orange beads. Scale-textured drops (for the scales that cover moth wings) flutter below, like the tails on the moth’s wings. These colorful earrings are set in silver to mimic the wings’ white edges.

The shimmer in these beads is like the shimmer in pulled taffy or selenite, soft and glowing. The main beads vary (see photos) in pattern and color, and I will match them as best as I can. Some beads are shot through with brown, some with black; all are primarily green and blue.

Approx. 2.125” long, including hypoallergenic, surgical steel hooks.

Inspiration: Labradorite

Name: Ritual

Description: The Ritual bracelet is inspired by the stunning, rainbow-shifting gem, labradorite. Each bracelet features 6 faceted rondelles of labradorite — 5 on the top, and 1 to finish the chain. Each gem is a shade of transparent grey with black flecking; the predominant color flash is blue-green, though some pieces flash green-gold, and if you’re very lucky, you may get a piece that flashes blue-purple.

I designed this bracelet to be sleek and minimal, so the labradorite is the star. The black gunmetal chain and finishings really set off the sparkling gems, complementing the black flecks without outshining the labradorescent flashes.

This bracelet clasps anywhere up to approx. 7.75”, as you secure the clasp to the chain itself. The piece of labradorite on the end of the chain serves not just as a finishing touch — grab it to help clasp the bracelet one-handed.

Price: $12.50

Cap: 52 US, 3 UK
