About Quill & Thistle

Handcrafted, bookish and nature‑inspired jewelry and accessories made in Minnesota by artisan Alison Gretz.

Each piece is hand‑formed in our MN studio from polymer clay, then sanded, buffed, and assembled with high‑quality findings. Lightweight for all‑day wear, with a focus on hypoallergenic parts. Collections include Book Nook (bookish themes), Floral Lore (botanical forms), and limited seasonal drops. We love expression through color palettes like Forest & Fog, Garden Sage, Honeydrop, and Night Sky carry a cozy, story‑forward feel. A hint of whimsy. No hype.

• Materials: Polymer clay with satin, matte, gloss, or metallic finishes. Hypoallergenic findings selected per design.
• Variations: Small differences are normal and celebrated in handmade work.
• Care: Store flat and dry. Avoid bending, perfumes, and prolonged water exposure. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
