Jewelry That Feels Like Home
Stuff We Love
May 24, 2025
Holly Therrien of Wandering Waters Designs knows how to make northern Michigan look good. Therrien’s rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets all reflect the beauty of the region, whether that’s with NoMi stones (think Petoskeys, Superior agates, Leland blues, and more), soothing wave patterns, or nods to the flora of the region. Take the Sunshine Cuffs ($80) with sterling silver bands stamped with little suns, the Golden Moon necklace ($580) with a glowy freshwater pearl pendant on a gold chain, or the Turquoise Studs earrings ($130) that feature unique stones capped with sterling silver dots. All items are handmade, and while Therrien notes that means pieces may have natural imperfections, that makes it “a piece with a story to tell.” You can find Therrien’s work at Sanctuary Goods in Traverse City, the Lively NeighborFood Market in Empire, or online at wanderingwatersdesigns.com.
