Each and every piece of Thicket jewelry is carefully made by hand in Thicket's studio. Production typically takes about one week before your order is ready to ship.

For made to order pieces some of the materials are not kept on hand in the studio. The longer four week lead time is to allow for materials to be ordered and received before production begins.

Thicket jewelry is meant to be worn and loved but fine jewelry requires proper care. You can read more of our recommendations on our jewelry care and repairs page.

Thicket offers lifetime repairs on all Thicket jewelry.

about the source

Super Chilly Farm

Thicket's Heritage Apple Collection began with a site visit to a truly special place: Super Chilly Farm. The farm and orchard of John Bunker, an apple expert, author of Apples and the Art of Detection, and co-founder of the Maine Heritage Orchard. 

The apple pieces in this collection come from elements of the rare and historic varieties Bunker has been cultivating. These are pieces rooted in place and deep connection to purpose.

About the process

Each piece of Thicket jewelry begins with taking a mold of a 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.

Why metaphor?

Jewelry is not only adornment - it is symbolism. Jewelry can be a talisman, a reminder, a covenant, a spell.

Humans have been ascribing meaning to the natural world for a very long time. In selecting natural objects to cast I think not only about the form and aesthetics but also the valences of meaning the object holds and I include these in the description of each Thicket piece. Each of these metaphors is a beginning, waiting for you to layer your own meanings and stories onto.
