Description
A hand-carved crab in sterling silver, set with a small ruby, on a delicate sterling silver chain. The red of the stone against the silver is just right — a little unexpected, very much at home.
Growing up on the coast of Maine, I spent hours in the tide pools, and crabs were always there — skittering sideways, tucked under rocks, impossible to catch. This one stays put.
Every piece in the Darya Collection starts in wax. I carved each charm by hand before casting it in silver, which means the texture and detail are mine from the start — not stamped, not manufactured.
About Ruby
Ruby is one of the four precious gemstones, prized for centuries for its depth of color — ranging from soft pinkish red to deep crimson. Long associated with vitality and passion, it has been worn by royalty and warriors across cultures for thousands of years. It is also the birthstone for July, making this a natural fit for Cancer season.
The Story Behind the Collection
Darya is a Persian name meaning sea. Every piece in this collection starts in wax — hand carved, then cast in sterling silver. The charms are small by design. Tide pool small. The kind of thing you might find tucked in a crevice at low tide if you're paying attention.
Growing up on the coast of Maine, I spent a lot of time paying attention. Tide pools, rocky beaches, the particular quality of light on the water at different hours. The ocean has been my happy place for as long as I can remember, and this collection is the closest I know how to get to carrying it with me. Snorkeling, sea creatures, the textures of the shoreline — that's what these pieces are made from.
A portion of proceeds from this collection supports Surfrider Foundation.
