Modern, nature-inspired jewelry for you and your walls.
Art that invites you to slow down, look closer, and bring nature into your everyday life.
Inspired by where the forest meets the sea.
Every walk becomes part of the studio.
Leaves, shells, driftwood and wild places become texture, pattern and formβpressed into clay and transformed into jewelry and ceramic wall art.
Made for Summer Light
Hi, I'm Rae
Clay has become my language.
It tells stories through jewelry.
It tells stories through art for your walls.
Every piece begins with a walk.
I wander the forests, beaches and quiet places of California, gathering textures, plants and moments from nature before preserving them in clay. Every piece is handcrafted in my Santa Cruz Mountains studio... from the first impression to the final finishing touches.
The Slow Way
In a world of mass production, this is the slow way.
I believe the things we live with should carry a story, invite us to slow down, and become part of our lives for years to come.

Let customers speak for us
This piece is stunning. I actually went back to Raeβs site and bought 2 more complementary pieces to make a wall arrangement! I just love her pieces!
Very nice piece. Accurate description on the website. Am very happy with the quality of the product and the ease of the transaction.
Absolutely love love love β€οΈ Beautiful craftsmanship. A piece of art I will cherish.
Rae creates absolutely gorgeous pieces of jewelry. I've gone back for the 3rd time and planning on many more. My 2 sons and I enjoy wearing them.
I bought this piece for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The craftsmanship is amazing. So glad I found this. Thank you so much!!!
I LOVE this necklace. I typically donβt wear necklaces, but this piece is so light on my neck I donβt even notice it throughout my day. But when I do catch a glimpse of my reflection it brings me so much joy. Donβt hesitate. Treat yourself to this beauty. Youβll love it!
I own several pairs of Jester Swink stud earrings. They are all beautiful and make it easy to get put together in the morning. Simple, yet stunning whether you dress them up or down. You wonβt be disappointed.
These are the sweetest earrings and perfect for our midwestern yearning for spring!
LOVE these crescent moon studsπ©Άπ₯°
I have a Gingko tree in my front yard. I love this tree, and the shape of its leaves. I take lots of photos throughout the year of my tree. When I saw this pendant, a perfect rendering of one of the Gingko leaves in silver - I knew I wanted it. Itβs a wearable reminder of my connection to nature, and my home. This artist work is infused with love and a keen eye for details. Thank you.
These were a gift for my Mother. .
Simple elegance created by loving hands is obvious at first glance and follows through every time I wear them.
I LOVE my jewelry by Rae.
She is very imaginative and talented. I wear my necklace everyday.
This blackberry winged butterfly is so magical to wear!!! I bought this for myself as a memento and reminder of a huge personal and professional moment in my life. I met Jester Swink (Rae) at a local fair and have been enchanted by her work and artistry since. Thank you.
I appreciate the unique design and the various cuts of stones that make up this beautiful necklace. I love it so much that I asked Rae to make custom earrings using the same stones. We worked together on the design and I couldn't be more pleased! I have several pieces from Jester Swink and I'm sure I'll add more to my jewelry collection.
