As our ancestors intuitively used them, we too turn to them for divination practices, healing rituals, spiritual advancement, and adornment. 

Smith & Sun creates powerful artefacts that compliment and meld with the body. Tara’s work draws on mythologies, mysticism, and magick. Memento Mori, ancient symbols and long lost talismans, are some of the elements that reverberate throughout the collections. Influenced by the metalwork of ancient civilisations, Smith & Sun's pieces are often rugged and patinated allowing you to see the creator's hand, the hammering and forging. 

At the heart of Smith & Sun is the fundamental belief that we are all connected - our ancestors, us and those to come - and the healing properties of being attune to our natural and spiritual world. Smith & Sun’s ethos is to be as environmentally friendly as possible, with the ethical provenance of materials being integral to the beauty, value and intent of each piece.

Hand-carved, made in bronze, sterling silver, and gold, the jewellery uses an assortment of ethically sourced gemstones and crystals, themselves chosen and handled with great care as their energetic qualities are passed on to the new owner. Tara sources them personally and carefully, from artisanal miners around the world, to ensure that every piece remains in line with Smith & Sun’s central ethos. Vintage elements and other recycled items are also used, with the metals either sourced fair trade or 100% recycled. Every material is chosen with great consideration to the environment. Smith & Sun are keen to eliminate all chemicals from the jewellery process and always looking for new ways to minimise waste.

Imbued with powerful intent, these powerful amulets and talismans can be carried everyday or used for rituals. Most of the pieces created are one-offs, totally unique, while other pieces are prototypes that can be replicated with additional customisation, or small-run editions. For others, a bespoke service allows you to work closely with Tara in the making and designing of your desired pieces.

 

'Authentic ethical aesthetics'  would be our strapline, if we had one...
