Handmade Fine Jewelry
A Taste of Honey is an ethereal, dark, and feminine exploration of antiquities, natural wonders, and the human experience.
About the designer
My name is Mackenzie
I make every piece by hand in my Brooklyn NY studio using recycled metals and ethically sourced stones.
I am inspired by nature, growing up in the woods, and my lifelong obsession with history and antiques. The great joy of jewelry making for me is introducing two of earth's elements to one another through my artistic vision.




Materials
Sourcing and curating a stone collection is one of our favorite parts of jewelry making, it shows Taste of Honey's perspective from the start. We work with unique stones, chosen for their inclusions and visual textures. Most stones are sourced directly from lapidaries to ensure they are paid appropriately for their work.
The stones shown here are 'dendritic agates' - These unique formations, known as "dendrites," are the result of natural mineral deposits, typically iron or manganese, that have embedded in the agate during its formation. The result is a stunning visual effect that often resembles landscapes, with branching, fern-like motifs. They are the earth painting a self-portrait!
