DESIGNS
Rooted In Magick, Crafted in Soul.
Handmade in the mountains of Utah, inspired by the beauty of nature and the mystery of the stars.
What I create isn’t just for show. It’s meant to be lived with. Worn. Held. Trusted.
The jewelry I make is a form of remembering. A way to feel strong in your skin. Each piece is handcrafted with care, guided by the shape and story of the stone. There’s no right choice. Let yourself be drawn to what speaks to you. What you need will find you.
My art comes from the in-between places. The quiet moments when the veil is thin. Each piece is channeled from my imagination, shaped by my connection to spirit and the magick I feel in all things. I don’t always know what will come through. I just listen and follow.
The ritual objects I create carry intention. They are made with what’s known as sympathetic magic—the belief that something can hold the essence of what it represents. A carved piece of antler might carry the memory of the forest. A bundle of herbs might hold a prayer. Each item has its own energy and purpose, waiting to be claimed.
The stories I write come from my life. From the losses I’ve lived through. From the healing I’ve found. From the long walk back to my own soul. My books aren’t just words. They are invitations. Reminders. Companions for the thresholds we all face.
Hi, I’m Aimee Traeden.
I’m the face behind this space. The hands behind the jewelry. The heart behind the art.
I’m a creator, a seer, and a lover of nature, mysticism, and all things magick. I live in Alpine, Utah, on the ancestral lands of the Ute, Goshute, Paiute, and Shoshone peoples. I share my days with three beloved dogs—two wild and wonderful 3-year-old Malamutes, and one wise little Lundehund who’s been with me for over a decade.
My journey with jewelry began in 1983, when I was eleven years old and first picked up a pair of pliers and some wire and big fake pearls. I wore an '80s flat top back then, and earrings the size of my head. Even then, I knew jewelry wasn’t just decoration. It was power. It was expression.
Since then, I’ve explored many paths, metalsmithing, collage pendants with vintage images, and more, but I always come back to what I love most: creating bold, beautiful earrings that feel like stories. I work with gemstones, crystals, and intuitive design to make pieces that hold energy and intention. Many of them are one-of-a-kind. Like tiny paintings made with stones.
Alongside jewelry, I’m also a painter, sculptor, and bookmaker. I studied Fine Art at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in the late '90s, but my creative roots go even deeper.
My mother introduced me to astrology, rocks and minerals, and tarot when I was 13. That same year, I earned a certificate in crystal healing. My father was an art gallery owner and a collector, and our home was filled with beauty and wonder. That environment shaped me. It taught me how powerful art can be. How it can open a door.
I’m also a Shamanic Ritual Healer, and my work is a blend of the seen and unseen. I believe that everything carries spirit, and that the way we create matters. Every piece I make is filled with meaning—offered with care, intention, and a deep love for the magick in all things.
