SIGIL Sale & Updates

Happy Memorial Day! The last few hours of the 20% off SIGIL Sale is upon us and thank you to those of you who have picked up this weekend. If you are learning about this just now, it’s not too late! Just enter MEMDAY2018 into checkout for 20% off your entire SIGIL purchase at: etsy.com/shop/SIGILbyanitaarora

Secondly, SIGIL is about to travel to Finland for a few weeks in June. I am very excited to be returning! During this time, the SIGIL store will be on sale and any pieces in the Iceland Collection will be shipped after June 20th. For those in the Nordic countries or EU, now is a great time to contact me regarding a purchase. The store will be otherwise closed from June 1st – 20th.

Finally, tomorrow will see a shop update with a fresh batch of my new favorite mineral – lithium quartz! I have several new lithium quartz pendants ready for release that I recently discovered and fell in love with. If you are unfamiliar with Lithium Quartz, the metaphysical properties associated with this particular mineral, from Brazil, primarily surround healing and reduction of stress and focuses on the Heart Chakra. Lithium quartz contains lithium, and is reputed to work on releasing stress in the individual and brings emotional peace and relaxation. The color varies from a subtle lavender to a dark mauve, and is truly a beauty.

That’s it for now! Have a peaceful and spectacular night.

Springtime News from the Studio: Jewelry and Metalwork!

Happy Spring, Everyone! This is clearly an overdue sentiment, because most of the Northern Hemisphere is by now warmed up and has seen the last of the winter storms. With Beltane behind us and flowers in full bloom (pretty as they are, I feel you, my fellow allergy-sufferers) many of us are heeding the drive to create and move rapidly forward with our plans for the year. We are no exception.

Here in the SIGIL studio, we have some exciting developments in jewelry, specifically metalwork. If you’ve noticed, what begun as mini pendants have grown into a considerable line of raw minerals on offer, including the new ICELAND Collection (available on sigil-studio.com). True to our brand, SIGIL jewelry is inspired by the rugged terrains of lands that rise from the sea in far-off regions of the globe. Quartz crystal formed deep in the earth is polished to resemble the melting ice while smoky quartz pays homage to the Old Norse mythology of Fenrir. We shed the winter cloak by introducing unexpected color options to the traditional muted SIGIL palette in the form of amethyst and citrine, along with statement agate slices from Washington State, which have been polished and finished in-house. The most exciting offering, however, comes in the form of brand new metal jewelry. Shown below is the first vintage doll head created in the studio from bronze and finished with nickel-plating. The entire process is time-consuming, takes multiple stages and follows the tradition of bronze work that has been followed for centuries. Truly exciting!

Watch the studio closely over the next few months as we forge more and continue to experiment with new techniques. We will be taking a brief hiatus next month as we travel to Finland where the next SIGIL Collection is brewing, along with an exciting collaboration that I believe will take us to new levels that, just last year, I could have only dreamed of.

Until next time!
