The Ashes Collection is a powerful tribute to nature, inspired by the devastating CZU fires that ravaged the Santa Cruz Mountains in 2020. The collection pays homage to the ancient indigenous practices of land stewardship, emphasizing a relationship with nature that is in balance and harmony. These practices, once integral to indigenous communities, are worth reclaiming today as a better way to protect and coexist with the land. Through the Ashes Collection, Found & Found makes a call to action for renewed land stewardship that honors the wisdom of past generations and the resilience of nature.

This piece in the Ashes Collection features torched madrone wood that has endured the flames of the CZU fires. This process brings out the natural beauty of the wood, highlighting the charred textures and intricate patterns created by the heat. Every wood gem in the collection is hand-shaped, showcasing the unique and vibrant qualities of the burned madrone. This technique creates pieces that are not only artful but also deeply connected to the fire’s transformative power, making them one-of-a-kind works of art.

The torched madrone used was sourced from the Santa Cruz Mountains, where these trees withstood the fires, embodying the strength and resilience of the forest. The process of fire and recovery is reflected in the shapes and textures of each piece, symbolizing the ongoing cycle of life, destruction, and rebirth. By wearing a piece from the Ashes Collection, individuals make a statement in favor of sustainable, fire-resilient land management practices and the importance of preserving natural ecosystems.

With an adjustable necklace length ranging from 10 to 20 inches, each piece of the Ashes Collection is finished with a Rubio Monocoat oil that is plant-based and food-safe. The durable braided leather chord ensures the longevity of the piece, while the smooth finish of the wood provides an elegant touch. The Ashes Collection is a reminder of the profound connection between nature, history, and the land, while serving as an invitation to engage in a conversation about the future of our environment.
