BOTANICAL AMULETS & TALISMANS
CANIE (working title) will be launched as a separate brand from AHNE in 2022.
I have been running my jewellery business (AHNE) successfully for 6 years and now feel confident enough to introduce this passion project to the world.
The new brand highlights my vision as a jewellery designer/maker. I have developed a number of pieces that feature natural elements in the form of different jewellery.
The aim is to launch a brand that connects ancient plant wisdom and ethnobotany to jewellery.
It is my hope that my customers will find themselves more connected to the natural world through the jewellery they choose to wear every day.
