Nature-Inspired Jewelry

Direction: Below

The Nature Collection consists of jewelry made directly from the materials offered by the trees. Using a magical process called nature casting, these mostly one-of-a-kind pieces from nature are reverently transformed into silver, copper + bronze. All these pieces were cast or embossed and made in ZULA’s studio on Unceded Coast Salish Territory known as Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Please note all these jewelry pieces are truly unique and will not be exactly as pictured.

Birch wisdom offers to you:
~ Authentic expression ~

Wear Birch jewelry to remind you of the miraculous movement you have inside of you. Find ways to express this movement everyday.

Birch whispers:
Dance
Be touched by the wind and let yourself be danced
Let yourself move in your authentic expression
There is beauty in that

Earth + Sky wisdom offers to you:

~ your root + your reach ~

A tree plunges her roots deep down into the earth to gather nutrients, communicate, and find steadiness. At the same time the tree reaches her branches into the air, dancing with the wind, exploding leaves to gather nutrients from the Sun.

Perfect symmetry of above + below.

When you wear Earth + Sky earrings you are open to finding the balance + connection between your root + your reach.

Leaf Wisdom offers to you:
~ What is your energy source? ~

Plants hold their leaves at an angle to catch the suns’ rays to create food through a process called photosynthesis. In this process, plants use light energy from the sun, water from the earth, and carbon dioxide from the air to create nutrition to sustain themselves and as a result providing oxygen for humans to breathe.

• What kind of nutrients do you fill yourself with?

• Do you allow the sun to shine on your face, drink enough water, breathe deeply, eat healthy plant foods?

• What is the spirit within which you take nutrients in? 

• Do you alter the state of your being so that you can be grateful for the food you are eating? Do you allow this nutrition to feed + flow through your body, mind, and spirit?

• Are there things you create so that you can offer to others?

• What do you do that you can gift to others? For example; do you enjoy gardening allowing others to enjoy the beauty of the plants you have grown? 

• “What is your energy source? And how do you allow it to flow in your body + life?

Wear a piece of jewelry from the Leaf Print Collection to remind you to be conscious of where you receive your energy from.

Garry Oak Wisdom offers to you:
~ your strength + potential to bloom ~

Garry Oak whispers:

The strength is in you.

 Like a bud,
you have the potential to
flourish
and show your beauty to the world. 

What is sitting
just under the surface?

Can the warmth of your heart
lead it to Bloom?

It's inside you.

ROOT Wisdom offers to you: ~ grounding ~

A tree plunges her roots deep down into the earth and lives her life in one place. She watches the seasons change around her, animals and humans travel by, and communicates with the tree that came before her and those that came after.

• Where do you come from?

• Where are you settled?

• What is your ancestral lineage?

• What makes you feel grounded?

It is important to ground down during these times of change.

When you get grounded, you connect with Gaia, Mother Earth. When you ground down you can better hear your intuition and move through life from a place of solid standing + to better hear Gaia, and be of service to Her and the environment.

When you wear a ROOT piece of jewelry, you are reminding yourself of what True grounding is. In doing so you, you move from a solid place.

Maybe you feel overwhelmed, you’re climbing out of your circumstances to see the sun, maybe you stumble and spiral down, but what if you spiralled upwards?
Let me tell you about the VINE, and how it’s wisdom can help you.

Vine Wisdom offers to you: ~ be supported ~

Vines are plants with stems that need support as they climb towards the Sun. Vines are climbing, striving, reaching, spiraling up, their sacred dance to reach the Light of the Sun! They find support in multiple directions… whether it’s on a fence, another plant, or another part of itself.

When you wear this VINE bronze bangle bracelet you are reminded to feel + accept support from the others around you! The bangles have a pleasant tinkling sound as you wear them in multiples (stacked) celebrating your rise to success in whatever form that means to you!

Weeping Willow Wisdom offers to you:
~ holds you when you are sad ~

Weeping Willow Whispers:

We Are The Willows

We watch over you

We help you cry

We help you feel

We have all that you need to feel protected

Walk underneath us. Let our branches sweep over you.

We love you

We love you

When you wear Weeping Willow you are reminded that you can create a safe space for yourself to release when you are sad.

A few years ago I was going through romantic heartbreak. I needed to cry and did not feel I had a safe space or shoulder to cry on.

I went for a walk in a park and noticed the elegant weeping willow trees. I walked towards them and found myself underneath their branches. The branches naturally create a private room under the tree and I felt safe. I laid down on the Earth and I was able cry and connect with all the sadness my heart felt. I felt that the tree held the space for me to feel safe with no judgment so that I could release the tears. I felt my heart grow golden with the healing of letting go the heaviness and found the strength to go on.

Sometimes you may find you are not able to release your tears around the company you keep or the environment you normally are in, you can go outside, find a willow tree and feel safe to release your tears.

With the jewelry I make, I want to remind you of your connection to Nature and the Cosmos, and to find the inner strength to shine your light into the world.
