I CREATE WILD CRAFTED JEWELRY

BORN OF THE ANCIENTS

HANDCRAFTED FOR THE REBELS, MYSTICS, WANDERERS & VEIL WALKERS

​Hello. My name is Marie Tengren-Knight...

and I love to play with earth, stone, ore & fire...

...& I design Earth inspired statement jewelry for the Ancient Ones - the rebels, mystics, wanderers, artists, rock n' roll hearts, wild bohemian spirits & veil walkers​.

I'm the Designer, Metalsmith & Alchemist behind my 3 lines of jewelry - Blackbird & Sage, Studio Athene Noctua, & Lotus Moon Atelier. Each line specifically created to embody a distinct aspect of our souls's expression - ranging from the simple & serene to ancient deep-rooted ritual.

I have been designing jewelry in one form or another full-time since 2015.

Jewelry is an ancient powerful amulet...

...an inspiration, a reminder, a token, a talisman. For centuries jewelry has been a symbol of protection; a type of armor. These amulets serve as a reminder of our true nature & help us manifest the power that already resides within us.

-

In my studio, organic colors, raw materials, & mixed metals are combined with intention, to create soul-stirring energetic pieces that inspire us to embrace our authenticity.

-

Drawing inspiration from nature, traditional metalwork, dreams, travel, and contemplation of the Infinite - ancient hand-forging techniques create soulful adornments that encourage individuality & self-expression.

From my home-based studio in the heart of Santa Fe to you...

...my work as a metalsmith is deeply rooted in ancient rituals & techniques. Transforming earth & metal through fire & alchemy, crystal & gemstone, I craft wearable art imbued with an ancient mystical essence. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted, stamped, hand hammered, oxidized, and polished to create a timeless, unique work of art for you to love for years to come.

With Love,

  • "I love my beautiful new ring. I originally ordered the small one and considered it too small so I wanted a companion and I ordered the bigger one. Now I stack them and they look beautiful together. I’m so happy. Thanks Marie for working with me. I highly recommend this vendor."
