Golden Fern — Handmade Ceramic Wall Plaque
I pressed the fern too deep.
I didn't realize it until the bisque firing. And then the glaze firing confirmed it — a crack ran diagonally across the surface, right through the fern impression, right through the emerald glaze I loved so much.
Instead of starting over, I filled it with gold.
Kintsugi is the Japanese philosophy of repairing broken things with gold — the belief that the broken place is where the beauty enters. That something repaired with intention is more valuable than something that was never broken at all.
This handmade ceramic wall plaque is pressed with a real fern in white speckled clay. Deep emerald glaze shifts and pools across the surface. The clay has dimension — subtle waves, nothing perfectly flat. Nothing perfectly anything.
Except the gold line. That one is perfect.
Hung directly on a nail. Just the piece and your wall.
One of one. There will never be another exactly like this.
In a world of mass production... this is the slow way.

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 don’t wear necklaces, but this piece is so light on my neck I don’t even notice it throughout my day. But when I do catch a glimpse of my reflection it brings me so much joy. Don’t hesitate. Treat yourself to this beauty. You’ll 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 won’t be disappointed.
These are the sweetest earrings and perfect for our midwestern yearning for spring!
LOVE these crescent moon studs🩶🥰
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. It’s 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.
I met this artist at a local faire, and was intrigued by this piece, but I didn’t purchase right away. I reached out to her after the fair, and this piece was still available. Her website, her story and her process were what helped me make my choice. This piece kept calling to me, and now it’s part of my evolving story as well. Art is meant to inspire thought, contemplation, joy and wonder - this piece Celestial Dance does it all for me. Thank you.
This is a beautiful, simple, interesting piece. I will wear it often. Rae is an amazing artist/maker and I know for a fact how much love goes into each of her creations.
I bought them as a gift to my friend. She loved them! The earrings were clearly made with care and are simply beautiful.
