N°24 Mother's Day 2025 Special Set

Seagrass & Sediment – Jewellery That Feels Like Diving in the Quiet Zones

This set holds the gentle power of seagrass beds—the overlooked spaces between reef and open water where the ecosystem breathes in stillness. It reminds me of the long, slow dives where you're close to the bottom, watching pipefish, buried rays, and juvenile wrasses moving like whispers. 

Emotionally, it brings up the satisfaction of observing subtlety. Like finding a well-camouflaged flatfish or watching epiphytes on seagrass blades dance in the smallest current. This set is for those who value what grows quietly but holds everything together.

The round pendant, with its soft mottled purples and green, mirrors what you'd see glancing down at algae-coated rubble interspersed with seagrass shoots. It’s organic but full of texture—like a cross-section of reef sediment. Known as "Atlantisite" this beautiful stone is a rare combination of Serpentine (green) and Stichtite (purple) minerals are only found on Tasmania's wild West Coast.

Lavender, finely faceted agate cubes and garnets layered throughout feel like scattered tunicates or coralline algae clinging to the seafloor, while the smooth olive-green jadeite discs reflecting turtle grass blades and their distinctive repetitive form.

There's an intentional rhythm in the necklace-calm greens and soft pinks -just like the mosaic of microhabitats in a healthy benthic meadow. It doesn’t scream for attention; it invites curiosity.

As for the earrings, you have 3 pairs to choose from, depending on your mood:

• The large hammered pair on the left are like rippled sand textures from a retreating tide. They hold the same mix of shadow and shape that you get when sunlight patterns the substrate. Their fringe-like beadwork reminds me of the way small invertebrates cling to the seagrass, structured, but dancing in flow (5.3cm long).
• The drop earrings on the right match the structural restraint of species like seagrass,with  the single drop earring above brings a floating quality— like a free-form bubble or juvenile jelly just beneath the surface.
• The tiny drops on elegant long french ear wires are for when you feel like a little less.

This set is for the woman who’s sat still in shallow water long enough for the ecosystem to resume its rhythm around her. It’s seagrass science in jewellery form: understated, steady, quietly foundational.
