Handcrafted in sterling silver and gold fill, with a faceted Mozambique garnet set above a crescent moon on a substantial mixed-metal band.
The garnet burns at the center like a small, enduring flame. It is surrounded, held, and protected. Beneath it rests the crescent moon, bringing together two ancient forces: fire and reflection, radiance and shadow, the impulse to move outward and the wisdom to turn within.
A talisman for tending your inner fire without letting the world consume it. For knowing when to burn brightly, and when to gather your energy back to yourself.
One of a kind. Ready to ship.

Hand-sawn raven with Sheen Obsidian and Garnet. Inspired by The Morrígan of Irish mythology.
I learned of the Morrígan about a year ago and have been quite taken by her ever since.
She was a fierce goddess. A dark goddess, you might say. But what fascinates me is that her darkness wasn't simply about destruction. She was a goddess of war, fate, and sovereignty, and her power could be both terrifying and transformative.
She strikes me as a bit of a trickster. Not just because of her association with the raven and her ability to shapeshift, but because she was a force that could unsettle power and change the course of things.
What draws me most to her is the relationship between sovereignty and the land. The idea that power isn't simply something to possess, but something that carries responsibility. That when power becomes disconnected from the living world, it needs to be challenged.
And perhaps that's the warrior energy we need right now. Not war for the sake of conquest, but the courage to confront what is out of balance and fiercely protect what sustains life.
A talisman for change and fierce protection of life.

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 Pattern of Live
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 and patterns holding you steady. These items are made to order just for you.
You carry more than you know. Myth — The unseen, the stories and archetypal patterns that have moved through us for thousands of years, older than your name, larger than your story. And matter — the seen world and the specific material and weight of the life you have actually lived. Your grief, your wildness, your longing to create., and to feel the wind in your hair and the soil beneath your feet. We live in a world that is more alive than many will admit and Of Myth and Matter is here to help remind you of that.
Of Myth and Matter exists at the meeting place of those two things. 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 work 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. You complete it through how you live with the piece.
The forgetting is constant. The world is loud about who you should be. These pieces are made to bring you back, not to something idealized, but to something whole.
You are made of myth and matter. Wear what reminds you.

About the Maker
I'm Keira. I work in the mountains of Montana, making symbolic adornment for those who know the world around them is alive and want to be in deeper relationship with it and with themselves. .
I began making jewelry in 2002, after being gifted a single stone — one I recognized immediately, with a certainty that bypassed reason. That moment didn't begin a hobby. It began a decades-long study of hand, fire, metal, story, and the particular intelligence that lives in natural materials. I am self-taught in the traditional sense: slowly, through repetition and failure, through the kind of learning that leaves marks.
I care about where things come from. The geological and human stories embedded in materials are part of what makes the work alive. This is why I work with responsibly sourced materials — recycled metals, fair-trade suppliers, and whenever possible, directly with lapidary artists who share a relationship with the earth that goes beyond transaction.
This brand is a relaunch and a reclamation from what was Formerly Keira Shine Jewelry, My work has deepened into something more fully itself: rooted in archetypal meaning, the living world, and the belief that sovereignty is not a destination but a daily practice of remembering.
The women I create for are reclaiming their own landscape and these pieces are meant to support your movement through the cycles and seasons of life; from the Descent- the slow, generative space of an internal winter to the Threshold where we face the friction of transformation and into the expansion of an Emergence. These pieces signify the radiant work of building a life that reflects your depth. They are artifacts made to hold the center through every stage of the movement.
