Abscission the natural detachment of parts of a plant. A jewellery collection made in collaboration with Aardes.

As the dried flowers slowly fade you are left with the permanent gold hardware and Moss Agate, which can be worn forever. The cycle reflects those found in nature, symbolising letting go and welcoming new beginnings.

About Aardes

Aardes (/ɑːdeəz/ pronounced ar-dez), takes its name from the Dutch word aarde, meaning earth. The philosophy behind the brand is to slow down, reconnect with nature and our surroundings, and create thoughtful fashion that doesn’t come at high human or environmental costs. The brand strives to combine crafts, philosophies and skills from around the world, looking at us all as global citizens of a world where language, traditions and fashions collide. The aim will always be for a cross-cultural celebration of connections focussed on the earth and its inhabitants.
