After having for so long dreamt of it, I finally treated myself to a bunch of new stamps from @cooksongold last week and I couldn't contain my excitement when they arrived! I've had these cuffs envisioned in my mind for months and finally being able to bring em to life feels just right! The stamped design is meant to remind of stylized lavender flowers, that resonate with the lavender coloured stones, that are the focal points of the cuffs. They measure 5 1/4" - 5 3/4" and 6", all slightly adjustable and with a 1" gap on the back. • Hand stamped, shaped, soldered and polished • • Because there would be no butterflies without flowers 💜 • Available August 1st at noon pst (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OTetFIZww/?igshid=1m5zj21ldl63j

A butterflies' garden collection • family portrait 🦋 ... and many more pieces are currently waiting to be completed on my bench, some almost done, some just started out, some other only live in my mind ... All deserving to open their wings and fly! What's your favourite so far? • Available on August 1st (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EBLiCoDrA/?igshid=1gwhwzf1qanwr

• Cicada wings necklace • This piece is for all intents a tale told in silver. A little fragment of my childhood heart firmly impressed in metal. Not being inspired by an exact moment in time, but by an extended achronological emotion, this five stone Cicada wings necklace embodies the spirit of summer itself. It is the portrait of all the summer evenings spent by the joyful, monotonous creaking of cicadas under olive trees. It is soaked in Mediterranean scents and silence. Only broken • by the creaking of cicadas. • Vibrant lavender turquoises by @stevensmithturquoise • Sterling and fine silver • 🦋 Available on Aug. 1st (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BcXG5IUw4/?igshid=1k2gq1sgi8wdc

"But on paper, things can live forever. On paper, a butterfly never dies." • Or in this case, in silver. A butterflies' garden collection, growing piece by piece, wing by wing 🦋 As promised, here's the front of the statement cuff I showed you in yesterday's post, with the addition of a five stone statement ring on a 1.5 mm thick double layered silver backplate and a comfortable triple shank band. The cuff is 5" long with a 1 1/4" gap and is slightly adjustable. It should be a size S-M but please measure your wrist to be sure. The ring comfortably fits a size 6.75 / 7 US. All stones are lavender turquoises. • Available on August 1st (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8tKoLojRQ/?igshid=8b1k70tvt8pe

• embrace the change • Metamorphosis sterling cuff ~ a protective amulet that channels the empowering energies of the three stones that are set in it, lavender turquoises, and induces a spiritual awakening, while the hidden butterfly detail on the back of the cuff is a reminder for the wearer only, to embrace the change and not be afraid of it. I my self, have always been inclined to fear new experiences, as I should have gone out of my comfort zone. But when you realize that the greatest of illusions, is believing to have control over situations (whether you're in or out of your comfort zone), that fear doesn't have reason to exist anymore. You have embraced the change. You have begun a mindful metamorphosis *within* yourself. As everything in life, change is a process that requires time and doesn't occur effortlessly. This cuff is meant to help through this process, empowering its wearer and channelling calming and uplifting energies. • More pictures of this statement cuff tomorrow. It will be available on August 1st at noon Pacific Standard Time. (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6D0KUI-RX/?igshid=agy5nwu4ns4f

For the butterflies' garden collection I've chosen a selection of vibrant lavender turquoises to pair with the delicacy of the winged critters. This stone, mined in the desert of Gobi, is particularly collectible and appreciated for its unusual periwinkle hue. I've been much driven to work with such material, for its colour has calming and uplifting effects of mind and body, empowering feelings of spirituality and imagination to elevate the highest self. These light purple hues are especially connected to femininity and delicacy, that marry with the symbolic value attributed to butterflies. My intention is to create wearable amulets of natural beauty to accompany the wearer during the various metamorphosis of life, acting as a guiding light towards a more conscious and spiritual fulfillment of oneself. 9 necklaces, amongst with 6 rings, 4 pair of earrings and one or two cuffs will be available on August 1st at noon PST.

Metamorphosis • the changes in form of some living things as they grow. • A great lesson that butterflies give us, is to embrace that growth. You would never tell from a caterpillar that it would become a butterfly 🦋 yet it does. • This collection is finally starting to take shape and I'll be announcing a release date soon 🙏 thank you for your patience with me ♥️ (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzv3SOcoQgD/?igshid=1dh6cpc2a5okb

I must admit that there is nothing like a summer evening. Especially in these days, without time for breaks, arriving in the evening and lying down on the terrace at dusk is the greatest joy. With the sun going down and the breeze cooling off, the feeling of the warm floor under your body, that same floor that burns you during the day, is pleasant. I won't lie, it's not an easy time for us. We are exhausted to say the least, and when the body begins to fail, anxiety and discouragement start taking over. I know it, and I fight it rationally, but more often than not, reasoning is not enough. What really calms me down are the brief moments of joy. Like these summer evenings. Being able to step outside of your body for a second and watching the things that make you worried from a distance. You're not defined by your "to dos" neither by the things you didn't erase from that list. Your true self is a higher one. Is as light as a balloon, as grounded as the roots of an old tree. The moment you realise this, you need no judgement anymore. Only love is welcome in your personal sphere. I hope you have a good weekend ♥ ️ (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzlfYbSoPJX/?igshid=1gy64qcecph31

Hugs and love ♥️ (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJMeQ8nw2u/?igshid=1wqogczysqht5

New beginnings. When no idea has become exhausted yet, no expectation disappointed. A new beginning is a white wall that you can imagine filling in any way you want, as many times you want. I love new beginnings. They remind me why we live. For that thrill, for that still childlike ability to get excited for the future. I still don't want to share any photos of the new studio because we are still working on finalizing it, and so I'm leaving you with a bit of suspense for now 🤗! After almost 4 days of cleaning, filling the cracks in the wall and refurbishing old furniture, though, the studio is starting to *feel* real. We will officially move in early July, and I look forward to inaugurate this room by creating something with these two hands, in there. A new beginning. As for now, I'm packaging up all of your orders there, so if you've gotten a piece from me during my "moving sale", know that it has been lovingly wrapped in this new @pluvialfern space ♥. All the love, Alea (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzGK1IKo1GO/?igshid=oqt9z0bx32o6

The butterflies series • A sawing marathon: a half dozen of broken blades and a good 16 hours or work, with that always-unfulfilled desire to get outdoors when I'm at the bench, and to get back at the bench when I'm outdoors. But when these lil winged creatures emerged from silver, it was a joyful moment 🦋 • Available sometime in July (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2foOqo9ut/?igshid=1mknqdivlkc5o
