JEWELRY

Necklace 1 – This sterling silver necklace with a pale blue teardrop bead in the center was purchased by Galloway at the Renaissance Fair years ago.

Necklace 2 – The coffee-colored plastic beads, dangling on a gold chain caught Galloway’s eyes at her local farmers market. 

Earrings – These earrings from Hillcrest Thrift mirror the Earth’s elements through the amber oval beads, linked by copper wiring to olive green ones. Both beads are made of plastic and, if examined closely, have a white marbling, which fades toward the front. 

Bracelets – The beaded bracelets are both from a Turkish pop up store, which put all their proceedings towards funding Ukraine. Galloway admired the mix of crystals, glass blown beads and sterling silver charms. The leather bracelet was gifted from a friend and represents a more down to earth aesthetic, similar to that of the others which seemed to hold more spiritual meaning.

Dress – This handmade dress, inspired by nature, is one Murphy Galloway’s favorite pieces. Its sage coloring gives off earthy tones and its flowy fabric gives into a bohemian aesthetic. The fern detailing trails down the skirt, which is cut and layered to a tissue style. “I bought it because it definitely reminded me of something a fairy would wear,” Galloway said. “The shop owner showed me this and I just knew that I had to get it.”

Boots – These black leather Doc Martens are from the seventies and eighties punk scene and were a hand me down from Galloway’s mom. “They’re really comfortable and easy to wear to music venues because whenever you’re dancing around you get stepped on a lot. I’ve had to glue the soles on a couple of times just because they’re so expensive and hard to break in.”
