A Little Cross Promotion!


We've been doing a little reorganization lately! Our earthenware pendants can now be found in our Good Dirt Jewelry Etsy shop.

Our newest addition to our earthenware line, is our Old Irish Blessing Stone Pendants. These pendants were made to look like the Buckquoy spindle whorl, which was excavated in Buckquoy, Birsay, Orkney, Scotland in 1970. The old Irish Ogham inscription is believed to date back to the 8th century.

If you'd like to see what's coming out of the kiln, please visit our Good Dirt Jewelry Blog!
