How can I contact you?

Please send me an email at Kelly.Morgen@gmail.com with any questions I haven't answered below. And I always appreciate any comments or feedback on my jewelry.

How much does your jewelry cost?

Goddess Necklaces: $400 to $1200, depending on the amount of gold used and the complexity of the design. The single-sided goddesses average around $600 currently, and the double-sided goddesses (twice the work) average around $900.

Initial Pendants: $100, including the sterling silver chain

Crowns: $800 and up

Rings: $400 (for solid sterling silver) to $1000 (for solid gold), with rings of both silver and gold averaging around $650

Shrines: $2500 and up

Why is your jewelry so expensive?

I was trained in Florence, Italy by a master goldsmith and completed my studies under the tutelage of master silversmith and shaman Heyoka Merrifield. I craft every single element of every piece by hand, following the ancient artisan methods of the famous Italian jewelers and my own ideas and inspirations.

Additionally, I prefer to use only the most precious of metals (sterling silver and 18k gold) in my work, as I feel this creates a much more powerful piece. This does mean, however, that the larger pieces, especially the crowns, use a great deal of expensive materials, and that cost is factored into the final price. Ultimately, it must be realized that each piece is a unique and orginal work of art that can never be duplicated, and so will last a lifetime.

Can you make me a custom necklace/goddess/ring/shrine/crown?

I certainly can! I am always happy to work with clients on designing and creating their ultimate piece of jewelry. I have crafted unique wedding crowns, specific goddess necklaces, and customized rings, and it's a wonderful feeling to provide someone with the exact work of art they were looking for. Bear in mind that because the additional element of design is involved, custom pieces are often more expensive than the quotes prices above. Feel free to email me with any ideas or questions, and I will be happy to provide you with an initial cost estimate.

How long does it take to make a piece?

A loooong time. Because I insist on creating every aspect of my jewelry myself, from the design to the final beading and polish, I often have pieces on my bench for weeks at a time. It's especially difficult during the summer, when I attend shows almost every weekend and then desperately attempt to rebuild my diminished inventory during the week. If you're interested in a custom piece, I recommend contacting me during the "off-season" (January through April), when I have slightly more creative time. Additionally, if you're looking to order something for someone's birthday or Christmas, a month or more in advance notice is extremely appreciated.

Where do you show your work? Do you give private showings at your studio?

I show my work in a variety of festivals throughout California (and ocassionally Idaho, Washington, and Montana). You can view my show schedule here and my wonderful Santa Fe gallery here.

I am happy to meet individually with clients in a local Starbucks (or independent coffee shop if you insist). Unfortunately, my "studio" is little more than an 8' x 10,' highly disorganized cubicle filled with all sorts of dangerous metallic instruments. I currently live in Santa Cruz and, if you're definitely commited to buying a piece, contact me to arrange a private meeting. If you're still not sure exactly which goddess is right for you, visit one of my shows instead and talk with me then.

Do you teach any jewelry lessons?

My jewelry career was made possible by the incredibly generous apprenticeship offered by my teacher Heyoka Merrifield. I have eventual plans to repay this debt by teaching apprentices in the future; however, at the moment, I am still struggling to find time in my life to run a full-time business and maintain some semblance of a social life. I will keep you updated.

I live in a foreign, exotic country... like Canada. Can you ship my piece to me?

I sure can. Whether you live on the sandy beaches of Hawaii, the romantic moors of English countryside, or anywhere I secretly wished I lived myself, your piece will reach you.

I'm looking for a specific goddess. Do you have her in stock?

Check my goddess index, where you can see every single goddess I've made! If she's not listed, I haven't made her yet, but I'm always welcome to suggestions or custom orders. I try to do as much research as I can, but I often miss extremely interesting goddess who are overlooked by current mythology books or anthologies.
