N°11 Mother's Day 2025 Special Set

Tidal Flats & Mangrove Light – Jewellery That Feels Like Breathing with the Tide

This set brings back a feeling -that moment during a shallow mangrove snorkel off Komodo Island where the light was golden, the silt is suspended, and the entire ecosystem seemed to slow down and breathe.  I hope that this set holds that emotional resonance.
It feels like standing still in the water, fins buried in mud, watching juvenile fish dart between seagrass blades and algae-slicked mangrove roots. Like observing the way everything—snails, crabs, filter feeders—moves with the tide, never against it.

This necklace was built from those hours spent watching interconnected systems in action. The matte gold and tiger-eye tones on the left are reminiscent of fiddler crab colonies and burrow-dotted sediment—the patterns that only reveal themselves when you’ve spent enough time to see the organisation beneath the mess. 
On the right side, the bolder green and yellow stones bring in that flicker of colour when sunlight cuts across the water’s surface—reflecting off turtle grass, bouncing between mangrove leaves, and making even the algae glow. The extraordinary, marbled Agate bead is especially evocative—it looks exactly like the swirling sediment plume created by a stingray lifting off the seafloor. The placement of the hammered gold ring is deliberate: it breaks the strand like a dropped tide exposes reef flats—temporarily disrupted, but part of the cycle.

• As for the earrings, the larger, leaf shaped Labradorite pair on the right are inspired by seagrass blades and the slow taper of mangrove leaves that fall into the water column (6.9cm).
  They dangle with that same mix of weight and motion, as if you’ve caught a moment mid-sway. The green and yellow tones match the necklace perfectly, grounding them in the same zone of observation.
  
  
• The simpler Labradorite briolette pair on the left reflects the quieter parts of the system—surface tension, bubble clusters, the round eyes of blennies poking out from between rock crevices. They’re soft and bright, like sunspots on water. Not demanding attention, just catching it when the angle’s right.
  
  This set in happy feel-good colours is about balance, grounding, and taking up space slowly—just like the ecosystems that inspired it.
