One line, kept
Everyone has a line they carry. Something read once, at the right moment, that stayed. We make jewellery for those lines.
Each piece goes with one line of a poem, chosen because the piece and the line say the same thing: a star for the star Keats wished to be as steadfast as, a dove for Dickinson's hope with feathers, a black pearl for the dark woods Frost stopped beside.
The poems are old and belong to everyone. The pieces are made to order, one at a time, for the person who will wear them.
Questions
01Can I order from this page?
Not yet. Stanza is shown here as a sample store on the Verse template. The prices are real sample prices for each piece in its own metal, but nothing here can be ordered.
02Does the line come with the piece?
The line is the piece's, on its page and on a card in its box. Where a piece has room for it, it can be engraved inside or on the back: ask, and we'll say what fits.
03Can I choose my own line?
Yes. Write to us with the line and the piece, and we'll tell you whether it can be engraved and how it will read.
04Who wrote the lines?
Poets whose work is long out of copyright: John Keats, William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Walt Whitman, Matthew Arnold, Henry David Thoreau, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Frost. Each piece's page names its poet.
05How do I look after it?
Wash it in warm soapy water with a soft brush and dry it with a soft cloth. Put pieces on after perfume and lotion, and pearls last of all. Keep each piece in its own pouch.
Write to us with the piece and the line you have in mind. We answer letters within a day or two.
