Welcome to my Obsession
I design and handcraft unique, thoughtful jewelry that speaks to me.
Join me as I explore science through jewelry and the science behind jewelry.
Shop the Sultry Scientist Collection
Inspired by science, these designs represent scientific concepts and constructs from biology, chemistry, and astrophysics and/or highlight gorgeous biological or geological materials.
Shop the Magpie Collection
Sparkly, shimmery, gorgeous. This is my “distracted by shiny objects” collection. Constructed with stunning materials that catch my eye in classic or innovative designs – these are where I let my creativity fly.

*Coming Soon* Read about the science behind the materials and designs in the “What’s That?” series.
The majority my creations, with the exception of a few product lines, are one-of-a-kind pieces that will not be duplicated. As a result, the shop is always changing as items are added and sold. To avoid disappointment, buy the pieces you love when you find them! Check back often, follow us on social media, or join the mailing list to stay up to date.
Testimonials
Testimonials are written by people who have received designs as gifts or through other, non-standard means and are offered in place of a product review.
I am the proud owner of two beautiful pieces! The choker in the pictures is my absolute favourite. Rachel took all my personal preferences into account and made me an absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art. Her ideas are amazing, and everyone who sees this necklace asks about it!
I like my new necklace made by Rachel. I like turquoise stones and design. If you wear it even on T-shirt you will make fashion statement. You must have one. Instead of buying new wardrobe, buy some jewelry.

I purchased all these pieces as gifts for my MIL and SIL. Not only were they all gorgeous, the customer service was AMAZING!!! The artist reached out to me several times because of problems with the shipping (not her fault). In the end the gifts were a little late for Christmas but they were all so pretty no one cared.

The earrings are striking, very high quality and comfortable to wear.

It was a total pleasure to deal with Rachel and Frozen Tundra Designs. She responded really quickly to my enthusiasm on Instagram, and then we had great fun choosing colours and stones. Delivery was very quick despite Covid and overseas shipping and I was kept informed about it.

Very nicely done, usually the gift cards are digital but she printed one up for me so I could donate it to a fundraiser. Beautifully done.

The website was super easy to use and Rachel’s customer service was incredible. I ordered a christmas gift for my sister , which she loved & the beautiful packaging, attention to detail & handwritten note made it so very special. Thank you

The website purchasing experience was smooth and easy. I appreciated being able to dictate if and what type of email I wanted to receive in the future.

I ordered a custom piece for my mother, and was really pleased when Rachel posted the piece (locked with a password) on her site with gorgeous photos. When I received it I was even happier – the adorable gift box, glowing beads of different types and quality workmanship were exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks again!

I ordered a custom piece for my husband’s grandma, who is not only a jewelry maker herself, but an avid rock collector. I really liked the artist’s asymmetrical pieces and fossils, but due to the age of the wearer the piece also had to be light weight but long enough to flatter. Somehow Rachel took my vague suggestions and created an awesome piece that I was proud to give for her birthday. Grandma was very appreciative. When I went by the next week in Christmas to drop off presents outside, she was wearing it!
