Collection: St. Martin's Day

St. Martin's Day turns the early winter streets of Central Europe into rivers of lantern light — children carry paper lanterns behind a rider who once shared his cloak with a beggar, and families gather for the Martinsgans feast that closes the farming year. These are the stones of that evening: moss agate, the old harvest stone; the family stones, from amber's baby beads to the moonstones of home; and amethyst, pearl, white moonstone and lapis lazuli, stones of the Christian centuries that made the saint's day. For its beauty, its story, and whatever meaning you give it.
