Samantha Kent reviews Silver Cryptid at her outdoor wedding.
Can’t have a rainbow without a little rain!
After a good year of wedding-induced writer’s block, I’m happy to say this request for a review revived something within me that has been sedated for some time. I was gladly approached to review a set of earrings made by the “Silver Cryptid” Company!
Now I admit if you are wondering how jewellery fits an “Outdoor” “Camping” blog I can understand! However, the request reached me at JUST the right time! On October 30th I got handfasted to my now husband in an outdoor ceremony at the Rollright stone circle in Chipping Norton, UK.
I had my dress, tiara, my grandmother’s bracelet and necklace but I was missing something! Earrings. When I realised this, I began looking for the right pair I needed to work with the rest of my outfit. The planets must have aligned and some ancestors must have been having a chat as the literal next day I had the message asking if I would consider reviewing a set of earrings.
Of course, I agreed however I was unaware of how perfectly they would fit into my life in general! Silver Cryptid is a small jewellery business who makes a small range but VERY well. In the owner of the company’s words: “Earrings for genuine, wild beings. Latina-owned and queer-owned small business” Which is something I love about the company! The Earrings are made with the purpose to adorn those people who are wild at heart. In tune with nature and all its beauty.
The owner of the company is also a perfectionist. So much so that she sent me out another pair to replace the first ones as she was happier with the second set she made. The colours were surely more vivid however I found both sets immaculate and the quality unquestionably perfect.
“A flash of magic flies overhead.
These abalone ravens glint beautifully in the glow of twilight. Genuine abalone shell makes for a stunning yet subtle centerpiece— a glint of blues and teals as you move your head. Perfect for an elegant outfit, or for adding a touch of sophistication to a casual getup.
This item contains natural shell elements; slight color and size variations of these pieces is expected.”
As you will see shortly there was a large flash of magic over us that day
Needless to say, I was more than impressed with both pairs and I love them both but I will be sending the first set back as they are so well crafted I want to ensure other customers have the opportunity to have a set.
As for how they looked on the big day I hate to sound vain but I truly loved how I looked and the Silver Cryptid earrings were just a stunning addition to my outfit. Once again something that has had me so busy this year has been bird rescue. I’ve been taking in and rehabbing pigeons this year. To the point that I’ve had to build an aviary. So the ravens on the earrings were another personal love of mine.
Not to mention my grandmother’s love of anything mother of pearl. The Nature theme fit right into the ceremony at the Rollright stones. Something tells me they were supposed to be there that day. The Crystal was added to the besom we stepped over!
The day was long and full of the outdoor’s blessings like the wind taking the cover off the gazebo. Rain taking the style from my hair and the cold biting at many causing us to wrap up warmer. However despite the troubles, it brought its own beauty as we wrapped up the ceremony, we were gifted a double rainbow!
In short, Silver Cryptid have done a wonderful job at connecting their jewellery to nature and making a piece truly attuned to the beauty and subtlety of the air and earth combined. They could be worn for a special event or casually however I will be saving them for all rituals and ceremonies I perform as they have become very easy to connect to. They tell a story made by the heart of the wearer and I know the story with these is just beginning! Plus the Company logo is a cryptid snail and I love snails, I have them as pets!
I’d like to also give a thank you to Strike a Pose Photography who took the ceremony photos.

The beautiful earrings are very much in nature. Congratulations on your wedding!
Thank you so much!
These are interesting and beautiful pieces. It is nice to see some unique designs in jewelry based around nature!
They were so perfect for the day
Oooh – these earrings are just lovely! I love unique jewelry, and these have such a lovely shimmer to them with the mother of pearl. These Silver Cryptid earrings were perfect choice for your beautiful wedding. Congratulations!
Thank you so much
The earrings were perfect for the occasion, you made a lovely bride and the groom’s style was perfect as well. Your wedding looks beautiful. The earrings I love.
Its such a beautiful memory for us. Thank you so much
Congratulations on your wedding! Cheers! And that is a pretty set of earrings indeed.
Thank you 🙂
Such a beautiful and lovely wedding it is to see! Congrats! I love those earrings so beautiful I love it!
Thank you x
Wow! Congratulations on the wonderful wedding! I reslly love the look of that earrings so pretty!
The jewellery is extremely unusual. I do love the colours on the ravens. I love the material used to make them.
I did forget to mention my obsession with Edgar Allen Poe which also helped me love them a touch more lol
Wow such a magical coincidence. Yes the center of the universe must have discussed and decided this was going to be their gift. Wish you both the best together in your journey. The earrings look very nice. Just right for the occasion.
So perfect 🙂
I would like to wear these earrings. They are unique and have a particular energy.
I hope you get a chance too they are very very potent with energy
How wonderful that the Sliver Cryptid earnings arrived at the perfect time for you. And that she sent you a second pair when she wasn’t fully satisfied with the first pair. That is an attention to detail missing in large retail shops. The earrings are lovely. Congratulations to you for your great day!
I was so happy with the first set, the second really gave me the wow factor!
I used to have snails as a small girl. You unlocked a memory for me. The drop moon is nice. The photos are great!
Snails are great! I still have snails, they are so oddly whimsical!
I love travel-outdoor jewelry, especially earrings. And whenever I buy a trinket while traveling, it’s jewelry. Silver Cryptid looks beautiful, especially as I love ravens. Those details and colors on earning are unique. This rainbow pairs beautifully with the bride’s white dress, magically. I love jewelry connected to nature, so I would love to purchase those earrings. Especially as it’s a small business, and I like to support local businesses.
Thats another reason I chose to take on this review. Small buisness Queer and Latina owned I was very much happy to help in any way I can
Those are beautiful earrings, love the polished abalone shell bird!
Stunning aren’t they?
They’re gorgeous though not really my style. My sister on the other hand will love these!
They have other styles, I really like the Serpent set she has for sale
Such beautiful earrings! I am absolutely loving these and the ceding looked like a hit! What a beautiful couple and a beautiful ceremony!
Thank you so much, Hubby also says thank you! (Still strange writing husband heh!)
That is so nice that Silver Cryptid could provide you with the right earrings. I like their purpose – “to adorn those people who are wild at heart in tune with nature and all its beauty”. That is indeed a great inspiration to get creative. They seem so perfect for an occasion like weddings.
Right?! It broke a year of writers block and really helped me get my keyboard clicking excited to write again
I love nature-themed jewllery too. The ceremony sure looks beautiful. In India, the natives from villages wear beautiful handmade jewellery based on Nature. And they look really lovely with ethnic wear. I like to carry such pieces when travelling to offbeat places.
I do love indian Jewellery, there’s a shop in Camden England I go to, I like to buy peoples Christmas and birthday presents from there because of how unique they are.
These Silver Cryptid earrings are so lovely for your wedding and any outdoor event and the ravens made of ablone shells vibe so perfectly with nature. And it’s a gift perfect in time for the occasion.
It was so unexpected but perfect!
My cousin would’ve loved these for her wedding. They are totally her style.
I hope you show her! they are really wonderful!
What a beautiful piece for your wedding! Sounds like it’s perfect for your personality and life. The ravens and the moons, they are part of your life.
Whilst they weren’t made with me in mind They really felt like they were meant for me
Those earrings are so pretty. I love your wedding dress.
Thank you, I adore the dress. I’m currently trying to work out where to keep it as it was such a beautiful dress to wear I’d love another chance to put it on
What a beautiful wedding. I just love the photos and the jewelry is gorgeous.
Thank you so much
WOW, what beautiful wedding, those earrings are gorgeous! Congratulations
Thank you x
What a beautiful day you had. The earrings did set everything off nicely.
This is interesting and the design of this looks pretty. The wedding is pretty amazing and nice weather as well there.
Can’t have a rainbow without rain! Every one keeps talking about the rain but I have to counter it with the rainbow photo
Um, that rainbow in the wedding photo is so perfect! I love the earrings in the first image, too. They’re lovely and unique!
Very Sadly my aunt died a few days previous to the wedding. I feel like she sorted the rainbow for us
Wow, look at that. A beautiful wedding day blessed with a double rainbow. Amazing. Congratulations.
It was amazing, Thank you
This jewelry is truly awesome. Loved it!
Thank you!
I love these earrings. Also adore the fact that you were gifted that lovely double rainbow!
There were many jokes made, My husband is Irish and we jokingly call him a leprachaun so the rainbow just added to that
That’s probably the most amazing wedding I’ve ever seen. I love the setting, and the bride and groom looked so great! I love his tophat, and I love those earrings.
Thank you so much
