CRYSTAL JEWELRY & TALISMANS FOR THE SEEKERS, WANDERERS, MYSTICS, & WILD ONES

Welcome to Blackbird & Sage Studio—where ancient Earth energy meets modern artistry.

Founded in 2016 by metalsmith and electroformer Marie Tengren-Knight, this soulful brand transforms raw crystals and metal into jewelry that carries both beauty and meaning. Each creation is more than adornment—it’s a talisman, a piece of the Earth to ground you, inspire you, and remind you of your own wild spirit.

A Creative Process Rooted in Ritual

Marie works with fire, alchemy, and intention, blending timeless techniques with carefully chosen crystals. Every ring, cuff, and pendant is sculpted by hand, hammered, oxidized, and polished until it becomes a wearable work of art—charged with the energy of the natural world.

For the Wild at Heart

Our jewelry is crafted for seekers, rebels, mystics, and dreamers—the ones who crave authenticity over imitation, meaning over mass-production. To wear Blackbird & Sage is to express your soul, honor your individuality, and carry the transformative power of the Earth wherever you go.

From Santa Fe to You

From her home-based studio in the desert heart of Santa Fe, Marie infuses each piece with ancient wisdom and modern magic. Every design is a timeless companion, meant to be loved, worn, and cherished for years to come.

✨ Discover jewelry that speaks to your spirit. Explore Blackbird & Sage Studio and find handcrafted crystal jewelry, copper jewelry, electroformed jewelry, and rings that embody nature’s raw beauty and the freedom of the bohemian soul.

✧ Stay Rooted. Stay Radiant. Stay Wild ✧

ROOTED IN HONESTY

Integrity is the foundation of our work. Every design, every crystal, and every flame of the torch is part of an honest process rooted in respect for the Earth and for you. When you wear Blackbird & Sage, you can trust that your jewelry was made with transparency, care, and purpose.

Stone Sourcing & Variations

We select natural stones for their character—color banding, inclusions, and shape variations are normal and part of the magic. No two pieces are identical. We photograph representative stones and note if a listing is one-of-a-kind.

On request, we can send selection photos before we set your stone.

Handmade Process

Each piece is handcrafted in small batches in Santa Fe, NM. Electroforming builds a copper shell around organic textures; our silversmithing and bronze work are fabricated by hand—sawn, soldered, filed, and finished in-house.

Small tool marks may be visible and are a hallmark of handmade quality.

Lead Times & Shipping

Ready-to-ship pieces leave in 1–3 business days. Made-to-order pieces typically ship in 5–7 business days (we’ll note exceptions on the product page).

You’ll see an estimated delivery date at checkout.

Allergies, Coatings & Wear

All ear wires and posts are nickel-free. Copper and bronze may develop a natural patina; we apply a protective seal where appropriate, but patina change over time is expected with wear. If you are highly sensitive, choose sterling or gold-fill options when available.

Care & Repairs

Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, heavy exercise, or applying lotions. Store pieces dry and separate. Use a soft cloth (no dips) on silver or gold-fill; avoid abrasive polishing on patinated copper.

We offer repairs and re-sealing/patina refresh—just reach out with a photo.

Sustainability & Packaging

We keep waste low with small-batch production, reuse clean packing materials when possible, and ship in recyclable packaging. Our gift boxes are paper-based and ready to recycle or reuse.

Returns & Exchanges

We accept returns/exchanges within 30 days on unworn items (custom/personalized pieces may be excluded—see product page details). Start a return via your order confirmation or contact us for help.
