For anyone who has ever loved a small corner of landscape.
About Thicket
This is jewelry that draws deeply from our connection to the natural world, and grants you a way to carry that connection with you.
About the Process
Thicket’s designer, Rebecca, intentionally curates natural objects with compelling forms and valences of meaning.
Each Thicket piece begins with taking a mold of the found or foraged natural object. This mold is used in the process of lost wax casting to create a perfect replica, in solid fine metal, of the original natural object.
The casting is done by an artisan casting house in New York City's jewelry district that specializes in working with recycled metals.
From there each piece is made with heirloom care, by hand, in Thicket's sunny studio in Portland, Maine.

Thicket’s Portland, Maine shop
Thicket shares a retail space with Moonday Coffee, owned by Rebecca’s partner, David and Mari: a mini bakery owned by our friend and collaborator Kelsey.
When you visit us on Washington Ave you’re visiting three businesses that are dedicated to doing things intentionally. Although we’re each working in different mediums we share a belief in the beauty of things made carefully with human hands. And that operating intentionally tiny-ly is a rebellion in favor of the human, the environment, and our community.
