5 out of 5 starsI love the look of this piece. It is a perfect size and the gold shows up well on the oxidized pendant. It arrived within the expected shipping time.

Thank you, Kaye. That contrast between the oxidized silver and the gold Keum-boo is exactly the effect we chase on the Thorn — glad it caught the light for you. Tesia

Thank you, DellMarie! A second visit to Yaga’s cabinet means a lot to me. The Mara was made to stand guard, and the moonstone’s blue flash is her watchful eye. Wear her well, and may she keep you safe for many years. - Tesia and Serfinia

5 out of 5 starsThis is so beautiful! What a treasure. I will definitely always wear and love my key necklace!

Thank you, Meredith! The moonstone keys are such a joy to make, and the gold keum-boo is all done by hand, so it means a lot that you see it as a treasure. I hope it stays close to you for a long time. — Tesia

5 out of 5 starsI bought the ravens talon earlier in the year but kept coming back to look at the prasiolite pendant. I was right, they belong together and I am using both for protection. It was hard to get a photo because the prasiolite shines so much. Tesia is lovely and her work speaks.

Ann, this made my day. Some pieces call you back until you listen, and you were right about these two. The raven’s talon holds the ground and the prasiolite catches the light, a good pairing for protection. Thank you for wearing my work and for the kind words. May they keep you well. Tesia

5 out of 5 starsThis is such a beautiful work of art. I am in love with this key. The weight, feel, craftswomanship, and design are just perfect. And it came with a chain to boot! I'm a forever fan. Thank you, Tesia.

Lila, thank you. Hekate’s Key is one of my favorites to make, and it means a lot that the weight and finish came through in person. I’m so glad it found you. May it open a few good doors this season. — Tesia
