about our jewelry
In our Eastsound studio on Orcas Island, Material Wit founder Jessie Morrow practices the ancient art of transformation—turning raw elements into talismans that carry the island’s wild essence. Each piece begins as a communion between maker and material, where genuine precious metals and natural stones reveal their hidden stories through patient handcraft.
We honor these materials through the highest-quality plating methods, ensuring your adornments age gracefully alongside you. Our designs emerge from deep reverence for this landscape—the shifting coastline, the secret life of island flora, the quiet magic that permeates the natural world. What begins as inspiration drawn from our surroundings becomes wearable poetry, transforming the beauty we witness into timeless pieces that accompany your daily rituals.

How do I care for my jewelry?
For gold and gold-plated jewelry:

For sterling silver jewelry:
