A note about plating: Thicket jewelry is intentionally crafted from solid fine metal for quality and longevity. The only place you will find plating is on interior hollows, like in this piece, that are protected from wear and will stand the test of time.

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.

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 piece. Cardamom reminds me of my Swedish grandmother and balint our coffee bread. It’s intricate and unusual, but also delicate enough that it doesn’t feel showy. I get compliments on it all the time.

I met Becca when I first moved to Charlottesville, and she is a human being that is truly connected to nature and her surroundings. She has a heart of an artist that sees things from a higher energy force so when I wear my necklace I feel that energy deep within and it comes with love from the hands that made it.

I have several Thicket pieces and LOVE them all! They are so beautiful and I wear at least one of them everyday. The details of the pieces are so well crafted and display the natural beauty of the objects they are cast from. Becca is so talented and always a pleasure to work with.
