Nocturne Tides – Peacock Freshwater Pearl Sterling Silver Studs | Skadi’s Winter Frost

Gift Ready Luxury
Nocturne Tides, Skadi’s Peacock Freshwater Pearl Studs rest like tiny storm moons on winter-blue silk. Each 4–4.5 mm button pearl shows a dark charcoal body with cool teal, spruce green, and violet overtones, so on the ear they read as icy peacock, somewhere between silver frost and midnight tide. Witches and dark feminine practitioners reach for this pair when they want their magic quiet, disciplined, and ice-clear at the edges of their awareness.

Geological Information
Freshwater pearls are organic gemstones, built from thin plates of aragonite held in a protein matrix, layer on layer of nacre inside a living mollusk. The aragonite belongs to the orthorhombic crystal family, although pearls themselves form as compact, rounded aggregates rather than sharp crystals. With a functional hardness around 2.5–4 on the Mohs scale, nacre prefers respectful wear and protection from abrasion, which suits earrings where the surface brushes air more than hard surfaces. Pearl formation follows a lineage that stretches back hundreds of millions of years of bivalves in lakes and rivers, so each small sphere carries a quiet, old-world steadiness on the body and altar.

I do not offer hardware changes on this piece. For a precise, long term fit or any adjustments, I strongly recommend working with a trusted local piercer or jeweler; they can usually make small changes quickly and at relatively low cost.

Energetic and Ritual Uses:
Peacock pearls move in the lane of depth perception, emotional composure, and hidden tides brought into conscious work. You use them when you want to keep your center cold and clear while the world storms at the edges. On the ear they sit close to bone, so they support listening magic, divination debriefs, and boundary work where you do not plan to share everything you notice. For witches and dark feminine practitioners who navigate courtrooms, meetings, and family gatherings, this pair steadies your inner voice while you hold your own counsel. The pearls do not fix your life, they keep your magic coherent while you choose the next move.

Suggested workings:

• Wear these during hard conversations or negotiations to anchor your listening in truth rather than performance.

• Set them on a small dish of salt by a window between uses and speak a single sentence about what you refuse to swallow in silence, then wear them when you act on that line.

• Pair them with a dark blue or black candle for warding work around gossip, misinformation, or projection, then put the studs on when you step into those spaces.

• Place them on top of a written intention for emotional clarity before sleep, then wear them the next day while you track where your body says yes and no.

Optional Add On Ritual Services:
At checkout you can choose extra ritual support tailored to this specific pair and to your focus.

Custom Incantation Card:
You name a focus such as clear hearing, emotional boundaries, court or workplace strategy, grief tending, or sustainable winter work. I write a short, direct incantation that ties the peacock pearls, Skadi’s winter-tide current, and your chosen focus into one spoken line. The words appear handwritten on a small basil seeded card, ready for your altar, mirror, or jewelry box, meant to be spoken whenever you put the earrings on or take them off.

Ritual Charging:
I place the finished earrings on my working altar, name them for you, and charge them toward your stated intention. I work with candle flame, focused breath, and sound so the metal and nacre hold a clear energetic assignment while remaining physically unchanged. The silver and pearls stay exactly as described, the charge simply aligns them with the lane of work you name.

Ritual and Incantation Bundle:
This option combines both altar charging and the custom incantation card. The earrings arrive carrying completed ritual work pointed toward your focus, and you receive a specific phrase to weave into your own practice. All ritual work supports your craft and your decisions; it does not guarantee outcomes, override anyone’s consent, or replace real world strategy and action.

Living With Your Earrings
Physical care:
Store these studs in their box or a soft pouch when they are off your ears so the nacre surface stays smooth and luminous. Keep them away from hairspray, perfume, lotion, and household cleaners, and remove them before swimming, showering, sleeping, or intense exercise. Sterling silver may develop a soft patina over time; use the included polishing cloth on the metal only, not aggressively on the pearls themselves. Wipe the pearls gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove skin oils.

Energetic care:
Rest the earrings on a small dish of dry salt, clean soil, or on top of a closed jar of salt when you want to reset their field between hard days. Let indirect sunlight or soft moonlight through a window pass over them while you name what they helped you hold and what you are releasing. When you put them on, take one steady breath and speak a line that matches your current focus, such as “I listen clearly and keep my center.” You decide what these pearls witness and what they help you carry out of the room.

Packaging and Personal Touches:
Every order includes a 1 oz YuleWind body butter sample, a proprietary aromatic essential oil blend that evokes a winter morning by the ocean, evergreen light, and a yule hearth, with a retail value of 14 dollars. You also receive a handwritten thank you note on basil seeded handmade paper that you can plant later, sealed in wax for an old world, personal correspondence feel. The earrings ship in a black jewelry box with crinkle cut paper and tissue wrapping, plus an anti tarnish polishing cloth included with every jewelry order. Selantris Velcryn designs the unboxing to feel like opening a spell kit created specifically for you.
