Did you know Moon Crabs have paddle shaped tips on all their walking legs! 🦀 These help them swim and act like little spades, allowing them to quickly bury themselves in the sand to hide from predators or sneak up on prey.

Portland artist Kimi Kaplowitz, whose background in sculpture and stop motion puppet fabrication inspired her approach to jewelry making. Fascinated by the textures and forms found in nature, Kimi began creating intricate molds of objects collected on her travels.

Each piece is cast and fabricated in recycled sterling silver or gold and set with hand selected natural stones. From mold making to finishing touches, Kimi handles every step with care in her Portland studio.
