With this collection, Harvest Moon, I celebrate the turning seasons. For me the perfect totem animal to represent the transition through autumn in to winter is the Squirrel; encouraging us to enjoy the fruits of the fading summer, whilst gathering what we need to see us through the dark months ahead.
My new designs feature beautiful pieces of Mother of Pearl, etched with my illustrations of scampering and nesting squirrels, blackberries & cobnuts, along with some stripped-down ever-green geometric patterns. I frame these little pearlescent artworks in hand-crafted bezels, of fine & sterling eco silver, and in doing so seamlessly mix cutting edge laser-engraving technology with age-old silversmithing techniques.
The result is a collection of graphic and eye-catching designs, from statement pieces to tiny, gift-able charms, which are delicate, flattering and a joy to wear.
Mother of pearl is the lustrous iridescent lining, Nacre, found in many ocean shells, specifically the Pinctada Maxima, or Pacific Silver-lipped Oyster; literally the mother of famed South Sea Pearls.
Nacre has long been associated with the moon due its alluring luminous lustre, and because the moon governs the tides that wash these beautiful shells up on beaches around the world. Both are thought to be imbued with divine feminine energy, and prized as such. The wearing of Mother of pearl has been said to heighten intuition, spark imagination, and offer a sense of nurturing protection, promoting emotional clarity & inner peace. To honour this special relationship each piece in the collection is named after one of the moon’s craters.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Each piece of Rosita Bonita jewellery is handmade with much love and care, and we want it to stay looking it’s very best for you.
To help with this please take care to avoid getting your jewels wet, and limit exposure to moisturisers and perfumes.
Keep them in their original packaging when you’re not wearing them, especially if you are lucky enough to live in a hot & humid environment.
This applies to all pieces - whether Leather, Plant Based, or Gold Vermeil.
The chains & findings we use on all leather & plant-based pieces are gold plated and will lose their shiny plating with wear. If at any point you would like these to be renewed, or if your pieces become damaged, they can usually be returned for repair for a small fee, but please do contact us first.
We hope you and your new rosita bonita jewellery will be very happy together.

CUSTOMERS IN MAINLAND EUROPE :
Sadly the UK is no longer part of the EU, which means shipping is not as smooth as before. Your parcel will be subject to your country's customs procedures and, usually, customs charges, which are not included in the shipping charge on your order. Your parcel will be sent through UK Royal Mail, on a tracked service, and passed on to your national delivery service. Whilst the Royal Mail website still states that EU parcels are delivered in up to 5 working days, I have found that there can now be lengthy hold-ups in customs offices (especially in Madrid), so it is very hard to predict when your parcel will be delivered, or how much they will charge you in customs fees. If you have not received your parcel after 7 working days, please contact me and I will send you the tracking link.
CUSTOMERS IN U.S.A. & REST OF THE WORLD :
Your parcel should be with you in around a week from receipt of your shipping confirmation email. If you have not received it after 10 working days, please contact me.
USA customers are exempt from customs fees for imports under $800, but for most other countries your government will charge you a fee for importing goods from UK.
