Mythica metalworks

Inspired by myth, folklore, and ancient worlds

Who are we?

Mythica Metalworks began with my love for both mythology and the traditional art of metalworking. I’ve spent over 10 years creating unique jewelry pieces and accessories that incorporate chainmaille and other historically-inspired techniques. Each piece is thoughtfully named to tell an ancient legend or story from around the world, and my hope is that they’ll travel with you as you create your own life’s narrative.

  • We’re ready for our second weekend here at @norcalrenfaire in Hollister, CA! Our new location is near the main stage next to javelin throwing and the Past Times workshops. Next weekend will be your last chance to shop with us in person in CA this year.

  • Another new design in this collection is the Nemetona Necklace. Sterling silver, gold-filled, or mixed metals with raw gemstones. Pictured are peridot, aquamarine, and rutilated quartz.

Nemetona, or 'she of the sacred grove', is a Celtic goddess with roots in northeastern Gaul. Nemetona's name is derived from the Celtic root nemeto-, referring to consecrated religious spaces, particularly sacred groves. She has been considered a guardian goddess of open-air places of worship.

  • Another new design I’m bringing to @norcalrenfaire is the Cempasúchil Necklace, pictured here in bright sterling silver with a vibrant lab-created blue spinel gemstone. 

Cempasúchil is the name given to Mexican marigold flowers. It comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec/Mexica) words cemposalli, meaning “twenty,” and xochitl, or “flower.” According to legend, the flowers were miraculously gifted to the Nahua by Tonatiuh, their sun god, so that they might honor their dead. Today, the marigold continues to be featured prominently in all aspects of Day of the Dead rituals throughout the region.

  • Introducing the Matariki Necklace. Gilson opal spheres captured in black glass titanium with 14K gold-filled accents. The first few will be available for sale at @norcalrenfaire opening weekend! Which is your favorite, white opal or black?

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars known to Western astronomers as the Pleiades, and a shortened version of Ngā mata o te ariki o Tāwhirimātea, "the eyes of the god Tāwhirimātea". It’s also a celebration that marks the beginning of the new year in the Māori lunar calendar. I felt that each of these captured spheres resembles a glowing eye, and the celestial sparkle of these opals made Matariki a fitting name for the design.
