This 19th-century gold keepsake ring contains a secret compartment that once contained hair.

Hairwork was worn both in commemoration of the dead and as a keepsake between lovers, friends or family.

If you look closely at this example, you can see that there are openings on the inner surface of the ring so that the hair could sit next to the wearer’s skin.

The eye at the front watched over and looked after the wearer

This necklace celebrates the colours and symbol of fybromyalgia awareness-- the purple butterfly. The pewter pendant is accented with micro-faceted amethyst in a fringe at the bottom of the wings and flanked by two larger stones, hung from a recycled silver chain. The back of the pewter pendant is etched: 'metamorphosis'.

The VARIVM logo is based on one of my earlier, A2 sized Green Man ink drawing which I never actually finished. I wanted something mythical, something medieval(ish), something simple and still something a bit more detailed. Glad he was at the bottom of the drawer :) Again, no AI involved: only ink, paper, the good old Inkscape and some patience.

And I'm aware that literally no one asked, LOL.
