Super Seven Pendants Are (at Long Last) Here!

Today is such an exciting day! Join us at SIGIL as we celebrate the release of 3 stunning Super Seven mineral pendants, available exclusively on sigil-studio.com. These pieces are a SIGIL favorite, yet rarely in stock.

What makes them special and so infrequently available at SIGIL? Super Seven stones, by nature, embody a unique blend of seven minerals. This blend results in a wide variety of how one stone appears compared to the next. The Super Seven stones used for SIGIL pendants are hand-picked by the designer for their exceptional structure, superb color and physical features such as striations, unusual ridges, color, and – most importantly – a band of opaque-to-clear quartz that runs along the outer edge of each piece. This is not an easy-to-find feature of Super Seven stones, and we don’t rest until we find just the right look for our pendants.

What exactly are Super Seven Minerals? — Super Seven (aka. Melody Stone) is a stone that contains seven different individual minerals. The seven minerals in super seven are:

• Amethyst

• Cacoxenite

• Clear quartz

• Geothite

• Rutile

• Smoky quartz

• Lepidocrocite

This combination is called “The Grand Formation” and is only found in one location in the world Esparito Santo, Brazil.

The single stone contains all of the energies of each of the seven minerals, and therefore is very powerful. The seven minerals in the Super Seven stone are said to resonate with the seven main chakras of the body. Among other things, it is said to be a grounding stone and help with overall wellness.

Bronze & Silver Pendants by SIGIL

New bronze and sterling silver jewelry is now available from SIGIL, designed in an exclusive collaboration with sculptor Jason Soles. I am personally in love with bronze right now, and these are my favorite pieces to hit the shop this season!

The cast bronze Vintage Baby Doll Head Pendant is molded off a 1940’s ceramic baby doll head dug from the grounds of a former doll German factory! It’s been in my personal collection for the good part of a decade and I’m so thrilled to be bringing it to life in a completely fresh new way. The pendant has a hollow center and a reassuring weight that feels good to wear.

The cast bronze Antler Pendant was molded off of a beautiful, simple antler piece that is smooth and has a subtle curve. Both the doll head pendant and antler are polished without a patina to a high shine and looks amazing when worn against a solid black or white dress or shirt.

Check out both designs now by clicking HERE. 

SIGIL Tibetan Quartz Mini Collection is Live!

More than 16,000 feet high in the windswept, icy Himalayan mountain range, a specific type of quartz crystal is found, known as the Tibetan quartz. Inspired by this remote, dramatic region of the world, SIGIL presents a mini jewelry collection of seven incredibly clear, Tibetan quartz pendants with names inspired by the sacred peaks found in this region. Each crystal is unique, perfect in its natural raw state with signature clarity and unique features.

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.

March News and Welcome Back

Hello Everyone! I am back from a very long hiatus in blogging and have lots to announce over the next few weeks. I am happy to report that I have now taken on SIGIL full-time and this means there is much growth and exciting opportunities brewing in 2018.

I have just returned from Iceland and am brimming with inspiration for the latest SIGIL jewelry collection. I have dipped my design feet into the ice-cold waters and soaked in the rugged landscapes of the land of SIGIL inspiration. Watch this space for announcements for the collection that is coming soon!

Looking back to this winter, the highlight was the SIGIL winter photoshoot that saw the soft launch of the Tribe Collection with the first style, the SIGIL cape.

In other news, the SIGIL core collection of pouches and ID purses has seen the addition of beautiful, snow-white NZ deer hide leather which make a clean, crisp addition to any minimalist wardrobe and a fresh alternative to your standard black color palette.

As we spring forward into April, I will be setting up my booth at a few Seattle locations and bringing you new works in person. If you live in the Puget Sound area, or plan to visit Seattle next month, stop by!

Fall Is Here! – Updates & News

Now that we are firmly in Fall, and the leaves have been changing for a few weeks now, I feel its time to reflect on where we are and the road ahead (to Winter!) Yes, Winter is coming and our little engines are turning quickly as designs are being worked on for the new “Tribe” Women’s Outerwear collection. If you recall, this Summer I introduced a “teaser” for this new SIGIL campaign. While the life delays have slightly pushed back the calendar on the release, you may expect to see this fabulous collection released early next year in time to wear before the birds sing.

As for this glorious Fall season, you can expect to see more focus on worn leather jewelry and accessories with mineral adornments. At time of print, I have a leather double wrap cuff with a quartz crystal crown waiting for a new home in our online store. Watch for updates in the following week and throughout November as the Etsy store begins to stock with more. If you’re in Seattle, stop by El Corazon this Sunday for the second to last Mourning Market where I’ll be vending with Jason Soles.

Finally, in celebration of October and the 2-year anniversary of SIGIL, any purchases this month come with a vial of Icelandic Volcanic Black Sand, while supplies last, hand-gathered from the black sand beach in Vik, Iceland. It’s our way of saying thank you for all your support!

Last of the Summer Wine

Thank you to everyone who came to West Elm this past Saturday in Seattle. It was a great turnout and beautiful weather to boot! As a result, I am nearly sold out on leather cuffs and appreciated hearing the feedback on the brand-new leather notebook cover.

The SIGIL studio is currently in full restock mode in prep for Fall and we will be taking a short break in September to travel to Iceland for some much-needed inspiration and travel time. Upon my return I will be gearing up for the HP Lovecraft film festival taking place in Portland, OR in early October. If you live in the Northwest I highly recommend attending.

Speaking of travel, look out for another new addition to the SIGIL family specifically to house and protect your passport…

As we look to Fall, expect some exciting updates including production of the long awaited tote bag.

Until then…

Happy Belated Solstice

It’s been a very long time since my last blog post. We’ve changed seasons, Solstice has come and gone, yet here in Seattle, the summer has been blissfully cool so far (great for working in the studio!) Creating is the excuse for not blogging, and I’m stubbornly sticking to it.

Some developments are on the not-so-faint horizon, most notably the newest SIGIL campaign, TRIBE. I am keeping the details unwraps for the moment, but I’m finalizing three key pieces that will drive this exciting collection. Expect a release date this Winter and more news as this exciting project unveils. This is by far the largest endeavor for SIGIL this past two years, and I feel so much has been leading up to this moment. Stay tuned!

I have dropped prices of a few of the original SIGIL carry-all pouches and cinch sacks featuring Pendleton wool on the Etsy site. This will mostly affect the previous season plaid, as most of these are no longer available. Eventually the wool and leather pouches will be kept to 2-3 colors to make room for newer SIGIL styles, so get them at this new lower price while still available.

Lastly, a brand new SIGIL bag is being sampled as I write this that will ready to release by next week at the very latest.

Thank you for joining us and watch this space for summer developments!

Best,

Anita / SIGIL
