Hand-painted bark pendant · gold acrylic on bark wood

Every piece in this collection starts the same way: a fragment of fallen bark from ancient woodland, cleaned and painted entirely by hand, its shape left exactly as it was found. Here, the wing splits into two mirrored halves — one in azure blue, one in warm brown and black — each carrying the same radiating gold fan, outlined in white, meeting at a shared centre line.

Celastrina takes its name from the genus known as the Azures — small blue butterflies named directly for this exact shade. Each piece in the Bark & Grain jewellery series is named for a cloud or a butterfly — something real, that still leaves room for the imagination to wander.
One name. One piece.
Retired when sold.

Hand-painted bark pendant · black & white botanical motifs · one of a kind · moonlight on dark water

This piece began as a fragment of fallen bark — collected from ancient woodland, prepared entirely by hand. The shape arrived as it is; nothing was cut or altered. Across its dark surface, two mirrored forms are traced in white — fine botanical lines and dotted borders that appear to float rather than sit. The bark is almost black beneath them. The contrast is quiet but absolute.

Moonveil takes its name from that quality of light — the way the moon illuminates without warming. White on dark. Present, but barely.

This is a piece you notice up close.

Hand-painted bark pendant · gold botanical motif on deep black · one of a kind · light emerging from within

This pendant began as a fragment of naturally shed Crimean pine bark — collected from ancient woodland at Tyntesfield, a National Trust estate in North Somerset. The shape arrived as it is; nothing was cut or altered. It is barely larger than a kidney bean. Nature made it this way.

Across its surface, a single gold fan form emerges from deep black — as if something living is pushing through from the inside out. White dots trace the edge like a breath held gently. The bark shaped the composition; the paint followed what was already there.

Ren is the Latin word for kidney. Some pieces arrive already knowing what they are.

What makes this piece yours

Hand-painted bark pendant · gold & teal botanical motifs · one of a kind · a figure in the grain

This piece arrived already knowing what it was. The curve was not carved — the bark fell this way. A long, warm sweep of Crimean pine, shaped over centuries by its own slow growth, and the silhouette it left is unmistakably a body. The hollow at the chest. The taper at the waist. The way it leans, slightly, as if mid-breath.

Across its surface, motifs radiate outward from a central spine — fine, feathered marks in gold and teal that follow the grain rather than interrupt it. The painting does not compete with the form. It traces it.

Radiatus takes its name from the cloud formation that spreads in long parallel rays from a single point — light made visible, moving outward. Here, the same: each brushstroke fans outward the way a fern unfurls from its centre.

This is not a pendant that hangs against you. It rests with you.

What makes this piece yours

• One of a kind: This curve exists nowhere else. The tree made it once, over two hundred years.

• Found form: The female figure in this piece was not designed. It was noticed.

• Living surface: The radiating motifs follow the grain of the bark — the painting and the wood move as one.

Hand-painted bark collar · cobalt blue, gold & black · one of a kind · five fans at the collarbone

This necklace began as a single fragment of fallen bark — collected from ancient woodland, cleaned, and prepared entirely by hand. The shape arrived as it is; nothing was cut or altered. Across its surface, five fan forms carry the painting: gold and white on the outer lobes, cobalt blue with gold at the centre, deep black and gold where they meet. Each form is slightly different. The bark shaped the composition; the paint followed what was already there.

Azura is named for the deep blue of an open sky — the colour that appears at the heart of this piece, unexpected and exact.

This is not a pendant. It sits at the collarbone like a landscape.

Hand-painted bark pendant · gold acrylic on deep black · one of a kind · light radiating from a single point

This pendant began as a piece of fallen bark — collected from ancient woodland, cleaned, and prepared entirely by hand. The centre panel is painted in gold botanical motifs on deep black, framed by a gold dot border and a fine white line running through the composition. The natural grain of the bark forms the border; no two pieces share the same edge.

Fibratus is the cloud formation where parallel bands radiate outward from a single point on the horizon — the sky opening from one source of light. Each piece in the Bark & Grain jewellery series is named for a cloud. One name. One pendant.

What makes this piece yours

• One of a kind: The natural grain and edge of the bark make this piece unrepeatable.

• Found form: The parallel bands of gold follow the bark's own grain — the painting echoes what was already radiating through the wood.

• Contrast: Raw, textured bark against hand-painted gold creates something that feels both ancient and luminous.
