About
The jewelry, and the maker behind it
A large part of the jewelry in the shop is Silver Coast Designs, Meagan's studio line. Her signature technique is electroforming — metal grown atom by atom directly onto a real object in a plating bath, so a fern, a pine cone, a feather, an oyster shell or a butterfly is preserved permanently inside pure copper or fine silver. The rest is torch and hammer work: flame-sculpted mushrooms, hand-formed cuffs, organic nugget rings in recycled sterling.
Because each piece is built around one particular stone or one particular found object, most of what you see exists exactly once. When it sells, there isn't another.
Meet the shopkeepers
Meagan and Micah Gittins have spent nearly 23 years building a life together around creativity, adventure, and a shared love of beautiful places. Their journey has taken them from Idaho to Europe and, eventually, to the California coast, where they found a place that felt like home in the little seaside town of Cayucos.
Making things has always been part of their life together. Meagan began creating jewelry while living along the coast of Portugal, inspired by the natural beauty around her, and today her work is rooted in the textures, colors, and quiet beauty of the ocean and the natural world. Micah brings that same hands-on spirit to his craft, creating candles in small batches with thoughtfully chosen, clean ingredients.
What they create is an extension of the life they love: simple, intentional, connected to nature, and filled with things that feel good to live with. They believe there is something special about handmade objects—the hands behind them, the stories they carry, and the little moments of beauty they bring to everyday life.
