About Elements Jewelry
In 1995 Heather (and her sister Holly) closed their beloved Elements in downtown Mystic. It was a magnificent seven year run, with their one-of-a-kind gemstone pieces finding homes locally and afar, gracing weddings and private collections, and weaving their way into photo shoots for Mirabella and Elle magazine…
In the years that followed, Heather’s creative rivers continued to flow in myriad artful endeavors as she raised her beloved son, Ivan.
Now, in addition to Heather’s thriving graphic & web design, branding and photography services at Studio Petronella, she has been inspired to work with the magic of the stones again.
Heather is thrilled to offer her luscious new CONSTELLATIONS collection, as she continues to walk the path of beauty; the only way she knows.
Each piece is designed and created by Heather in her bright and airy Studio Petronella by the sea; in an atmosphere of reverence and joy, in devotion to the process of beauty making.
The constellations are made exclusively from semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and sterling silver. No mass production, no glass, no synthetics. She sources her materials conscientiously.
Each piece may vary slightly due to the individual nature of the design “elements” themselves and availability.
Each constellation comes boxed, with a folded card that includes the constellation’s list of stones, and a cleaning cloth.
Yum.
Each constellation awaits its “person”…

How to Care for Your Elements Jewelry
GENERAL

Remove your jewelry before bedtime.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat or cold, especially stay away from humidity.
Remove jewelry when bathing, showering or swimming.
STORAGE
All Elements jewelry contains sterling silver. When not in use, please store in an airtight bag or box in a dry, dark place to keep sterling silver tarnish to a minimum.
Elements jewelry comes with a small piece of chalk to put in the sealed box or bag you store your jewelry in, as it will absorb any excess moisture. Moisture is what causes silver to tarnish. Replace the chalk with a new, dry piece as needed.
CLEANING
Please use sterling silver soft polish on silver components only, All Elements jewelry can be put in ultrasonic cleaner with pearl-safe cleaning liquid.
Elements jewelry comes with a small silver-polishing cloth.
MAINTENANCE
Please loosely coil and lay flat your neckpieces when removed from your body for storage. Do not bend the beading wire at a 90 degree angle, as it will cause a kink.
Do not pull on neckpieces.
Please check clasp ends for signs of wear, and bring to beadsmith for restringing if necessary.
Check earwire/earring connections, tighten if necessary.
