Cast from a tiny(!) but very fierce blackberry thorn into solid fine metal.

NATURAL HISTORY

Rubus argutus 

A relative of roses, the 'tall' blackberry grows widely across the Eastern US. The shrubs flower white in the spring and berries appear in the summer. The plants are eaten by insects, birds and mammals; there's evidence humans have been eating blackberries for thousands of years.

METAPHOR

Fierceness and sweetness. The feeling of mid-summer.

Each and every piece of Thicket jewelry is carefully made by hand in Thicket's studio and production can take 1-2 weeks before your order is ready to ship.

If you have questions about a specific timeline please get in touch before placing your order by emailing rebecca@shopthicket.com.

Quality

Thicket jewelry is carefully made by hand, one piece at a time, by designer Rebecca Perea-Kane using traditional metalsmithing techniques. You can learn more about Rebecca and the process right here. Pieces are designed and crafted to be of heirloom quality.

Thicket will clean, re-oxidize and repair your Thicket jewelry at any point in its lifetime (which will be long!). Email hello@shopthicket.com or send a message if you have a piece in need of some love.

Care

Thicket jewelry is meant to be worn and loved but it's always advisable to remove jewelry before exercising, swimming and using harsh chemicals such as cleaning solutions. If you use your hands for work or for other pursuits like gardening or cooking, it's also a good idea to remove rings and bracelets. (And if the piece includes a set diamond you will definitely want to take it off for any activity where it may experience any impacts!)

You can clean your jewelry at home with a soft jewelry cloth or with a gentle soap and a soft toothbrush. If your piece includes oxidized sterling silver avoid vigorous polishing to preserve the darkened finish.

If your piece is set with a diamond it is important to regularly inspect it to be sure the diamond is secure and that there is no movement of the stone in the setting.

If you have any questions about the care of your jewelry get in touch!

Beautiful gift

I bought these for my oldest friend. She said, and I quote, “they are delicate and fierce- just like me!”— she also commented on how much she loved the beautiful packaging. I will be ordering gifts from here again. And maybe even a little something for myself someday. Also, the customer service was excellent.

Disappointed

The fault may be mine, but I was shocked by the size of the earrings. Maybe I missed seeing the "specs" but they are way too small.

Hi Janet, it sounds like you may have missed the measurements and product photos - these studs are cast from actual blackberry thorns so they are small! I make every piece myself and want each one to be worn and loved. If they’re not right for you check out the Returns + Exchanges page.

Blackberry thorn studs

I love the idea of these tiny studs being blackberry thorns. They are very small-almost too small to grasp but I’ve been very careful with them. I thought they might have been a tad larger but love them just the same.

Perfect Little Studs

The earrings are exactly what I wanted. I’ve found the thought and care of the artist unique in my experience and truly extraordinary. Good on you.

Thoughtful, beautiful quality!

I bought a pair of the blackberry thorn studs as a gift and they are absolutely lovely. The care and connection Becca creates is apparent in not just the product but her customer support! Kind correspondence and thoughtful touches throughout. My sister sent me a photo as soon as it arrived because she loved both the jewelry and the style and packaging it was delivered in!
