New and One of a kind
Singular objects shaped by time, earth, and hand — created once, never repeated in the same way. Made for the moments when you recognize something of yourself reflected back.
Earth-inspired symbolic adornment rooted in the feminine.
Original Form collection - Archetype inspired
The Original Form Collection distills ancient archetypes and symbols into modern talismans. a small collection of favorite pieces that ground the body, speak to the psyche, and remind you of the deeper structures holding you steady. These items are made to order just for you.
Of Myth and Matter exists at the meeting place of story and substance, where ancient symbolism, natural materials, and human experience are shaped into objects meant to be lived with. Each piece is created slowly and intentionally, drawing from myth, ecology, and archetypal memory to support a deeper relationship between body, psyche, and the living world.
The brand grew from a lifelong pull toward stone, metal, symbol, and story and a belief that adornment can be more than decoration. I create one-of-a-kind and small-batch pieces using responsibly sourced materials, traditional metalsmithing techniques, and an intuitive design process guided by archetype, nature, and lived experience. The earth begins the story, I shape the middle, and you complete it through how you live with the piece.
This work is rooted in the belief that what we wear can remind us who we are — not idealized, but whole.

About the Maker
I’m Keira, the maker behind Of Myth and Matter (formerly Keira Shine Jewelry). I work in the mountains of Montana, creating symbolic metalwork and stone adornment for people who feel a pull toward meaning — who sense that beauty can carry memory, story, and intention.
I began making jewelry in 2002 after being gifted a single stone I knew, instantly, I had to wear. That moment led me into a self-taught study of traditional metalsmithing, learning slowly through hand, fire, and patience. I work primarily with responsibly sourced materials: recycled. metals, fair-trade suppliers and whenever possible, directly with artisanal miners and lapidary artists. I care deeply about where materials come from, and about honoring the long human and geological stories they carry.
I create pieces meant to be lived with — not just worn. To me, jewelry is a way we carry meaning on the body: a reminder, a marker of experience, sometimes an anchor in a loud world.
