Katie Evans is an astrologer, artist, and designer living in the Pacific Northwest. She is interested in the language of the planets and how they act as guides to help us live out our full potential in this lifetime. Through a focus on Evolutionary Astrology principles: the polarity of Pluto and nodal placements, as well as a study of the outer planets, Katie feels drawn to aid clients in deciphering their birth charts to better get to know their own path of creativity through their soul's evolution. She incorporates astrology into her designs through HartVariations, as an ode to nature and these powerful forces above.
All of HartVariations materials are cruelty-free and ethically sourced with great care. We are dedicated to No-Harm principles in our work.
Q: Where do you get your materials?
A: No creatures are harmed in the process of creating HartVariations jewelry. We have a No-Harm, Cruelty-Free approach in our work. We source all materials with extreme care and ethical considerations. All the butterflies, beetles and moths we use come from sustainable, licensed butterfly conservation farms working to conserve native insect habitats. Snakeskin is shed naturally, feathers are collected after molting, and the skulls and jawbones come from natural deaths or owl pellets collected in the Pacific Northwest. HartVariations jewelry brings a second life to insects and other elements of nature.
Q: What are butterfly conservation farms?
A: Butterfly conservation farms, also known as sanctuaries, have been set up worldwide to preserve native habits and provide income for local populations. These farms require that forests and plants be protected and maintained instead of destroyed for other purposes. Butterflies and other insects are protected in these habitats. The survival rate of butterflies in the wild is only 2%, while on the farms, that rate increases up to 90%. On average, adult butterflies live 3 to 4 weeks.

Jewelry Care for your Talisman
Not only do we help the creature encased within HartVariations jewelry enter a new life, but your jewelry will last throughout your lifetime if cared for properly.
Please thoroughly read the list of considerations below for proper care.
- your talisman has left the HartVariations Studio tested for strength and durability
- your talisman needs to be stored properly, away from moisture, sunlight, and pressure
- your talisman should not be worn while exercising, swimming, showering, sleeping, etc.
- your talisman needs you to keep an eye out for possibilities of snagging on clothes or hair, and other tension or pressure scenarios. Especially where metal connects to metal and glass.
One of the unique aspects of HartVariations jewelry is that it incorporates a natural element. This precious, often delicate element receives protective layers of glass and metal. Because of this combination of materials two things are of note; 1). the creature now becomes a wearable talisman to escort you on your journey 2). *and if broken* this beloved, delicate creature would not make it through another round of creation and cannot be fixed.
Not being able to “fix” our jewelry is unfortunately part of what makes your talisman so special. We wish it could be different, but we hope you realize the special nature of our jewelry and if cared for properly, it can last a lifetime.
All focal-pieces are constructed with lead-free silver solder and oxidized.
All necklaces are nickel-free, brass core with a gunmetal finish.
All ear hooks, hoops, and ear threads are dark oxidized sterling silver. All posts and ear nut backings are non-oxidized sterling silver.
All ring bands and bracelet metal is oxidized sterling silver.
We use rose gold-fill for earring findings and chain for our copper patina + rose gold styles.
...........................................................................................
Q: What kind of metal do you use?
A: I use the Tiffany Method of stained glass soldering. The focal metal is a lead-free, nickel-free blend of silver and tin that melts at a lower temperature, allowing me to encase natural objects that are sensitive to heat.
Above & Below - Your Cosmic Oracle Deck
Regular price $26.00/
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Welcome to Your Cosmic Oracle Deck! This is the perfect, compact oracle card deck for your travel or everyday divination needs - each card is correlated to an astrological sign and or planet. Perfect for consulting the cosmos!
This little astrological oracle deck began as a personal divination tool a few years ago. I realized I needed to simplify how I was using my intuition in my everyday life. Just by making a list of words on my favorite typewriter, I felt more of a connection to how I was viewing (or choosing to view) the smaller and bigger picture of my life at that time.
I see this deck as a personal teaching tool, while also being accessible for divination purposes. You get to learn some astrology along the way! Each word and color has an astrological correlation to "rulership" by planet or sign. Refer to the Glyph Guides to familiarize yourself with the symbols for each sign and planet. There are many ways to use this deck: draw a single card for the day, add a card or two to your tarot spread, or pull multiple cards to create a sentence and tell a story. Some of these words can be taken very literal, others may require a more playful mind to interpret. Use your imagination!

Crying Diamonds Snakeskin Wall Adornment
Regular price $340.00/
Shipping calculated at checkout.
The suggestive geometry of the diamond encapsulates the delicate scales of the snake shed inside glass and metal, allowing light to penetrate in this wall hanging. These diamonds, like storm clouds or eyes, rain down rows of gentle chain like tears, joined together with graceful concentric arcs of metal work: a rainbow brightening the gloomy sky. Here the image of the diamond reappears in triplicate, like psychic third eyes opening to the metaphysical. Take inspiration from the transformative symbolism of the snake shedding its old self, as you embark on journeys of spiritual growth.
This art is intended for wall adornment and is not suitable for wear.
This piece measures 4 1/4" in length by 3 1/4" in width and hangs a full 6 1/2" including the oxidized sterling chain detail.

Pyramid Rainbow Wall Adornment
Regular price $380.00/
Shipping calculated at checkout.
A pair of steadfast triangles point to the heavens, encasing the brilliant sky of the Blue Morpho butterfly’s wing in glass and enduring geometry. Connected by graceful arcs of metal, these structured pieces evoke images of the elements, nature, and the mystical power of the great pyramids. Circular metal work emerges, like the desert sun rising rising behind the pyramids. Concentric connecting arcs form a rainbow streaked across the sky, peeking out from the clouds. Delicate rows of chain hang like rainfall. Hang this piece in your special space to call upon the elements: airy sky, cooling water, desert fire, earthly structures, and the everlasting cycles of nature and magic.
This art is intended for wall adornment and is not suitable for wear.
This piece measures 4 1/4" in length by 3 1/4" in width and hangs a full 6 1/2" including the oxidized sterling chain detail.
Please note this item is MADE TO ORDER and therefore WILL NOT SHIP until 1-2 weeks after you place your order.
As this item is hand-made to order, each element (butterfly wing, feather, snakeskin, skull, etc.) is unique in its own way, and may vary slightly in the finished piece. There may also be a difference in size of up to 1/8". The focal-piece is constructed with lead-free silver solder, oxidized, and polished.
All of HartVariations materials are cruelty-free and ethically sourced with great care. We are dedicated to No-Harm principles in our work. Please visit the FAQ page of the website to learn more.
PIECE CARE: Please handle this piece with great care, avoid water and chemical cleaning products. To remove dust simply wipe with a soft cloth. Because of the stained glass medium we work in, we are able to use delicate materials from nature that are very heat-sensitive. Too much heat and the wings change color, sometimes losing the vibrant magic that makes them so special. The metal in our work is an alloy of silver and tin, which melts at a lower temperature than sterling. We 100% stand by our work and have sold thousands of pieces in the eight years we've been in business, with a very small number needing repair. The same way you would take care of a silk blouse, please consider the medium in the treatment of your piece and approach with intention and care.
SHIPPING: Please be sure to read the shipping and policies information before your purchase.

A pair of steadfast triangles point down into the earth, encasing the brilliant sky hues of the Blue Morpho butterfly’s wing in glass and enduring geometry.

Jewelry Care for your Talisman
Not only do we help the creature encased within HartVariations jewelry enter a new life, but your jewelry will last throughout your lifetime if cared for properly.
Please thoroughly read the list of considerations below for proper care.
- your talisman has left the HartVariations Studio tested for strength and durability
- your talisman needs to be stored properly, away from moisture, sunlight, and pressure
- your talisman should not be worn while exercising, swimming, showering, sleeping, etc.
- your talisman needs you to keep an eye out for possibilities of snagging on clothes or hair, and other tension or pressure scenarios. Especially where metal connects to metal and glass.
One of the unique aspects of HartVariations jewelry is that it incorporates a natural element. This precious, often delicate element receives protective layers of glass and metal. Because of this combination of materials two things are of note; 1). the creature now becomes a wearable talisman to escort you on your journey 2). *and if broken* this beloved, delicate creature would not make it through another round of creation and cannot be fixed.
Not being able to “fix” our jewelry is unfortunately part of what makes your talisman so special. We wish it could be different, but we hope you realize the special nature of our jewelry and if cared for properly, it can last a lifetime.
All focal-pieces are constructed with lead-free silver solder and oxidized.
All necklaces are nickel-free, brass core with a gunmetal finish.
All ear hooks, hoops, and ear threads are dark oxidized sterling silver. All posts and ear nut backings are non-oxidized sterling silver.
All ring bands and bracelet metal is oxidized sterling silver.
We use rose gold-fill for earring findings and chain for our copper patina + rose gold styles.
...........................................................................................
Q: What kind of metal do you use?
A: I use the Tiffany Method of stained glass soldering. The focal metal is a lead-free, nickel-free blend of silver and tin that melts at a lower temperature, allowing me to encase natural objects that are sensitive to heat.

HartVariations jewelry brings a second life to insects and other elements of nature.
Q: What are butterfly conservation farms?

Let's see what unfolds in real-time and what the celestial bodies above us have to say. There is precision and grace within the connections the planets make as they convey themes or archetypes that help us to explore who we are deeply.

Snakeskin is shed naturally, feathers are collected after molting, and the skulls and jawbones come from natural deaths or owl pellets collected in the Pacific Northwest. HartVariations jewelry brings a second life to insects and other elements of nature.
Q: What are butterfly conservation farms?
A: Butterfly conservation farms, also known as sanctuaries, have been set up worldwide to preserve native habits and provide income for local populations. These farms require that forests and plants be protected and maintained instead of destroyed for other purposes. Butterflies and other insects are protected in these habitats. The survival rate of butterflies in the wild is only 2%, while on the farms, that rate increases up to 90%. On average, adult butterflies live 3 to 4 weeks.

Jewelry Care for your Talisman
Not only do we help the creature encased within HartVariations jewelry enter a new life, but your jewelry will last throughout your lifetime if cared for properly.
Please thoroughly read the list of considerations below for proper care.
- your talisman has left the HartVariations Studio tested for strength and durability
- your talisman needs to be stored properly, away from moisture, sunlight, and pressure
- your talisman should not be worn while exercising, swimming, showering, sleeping, etc.
- your talisman needs you to keep an eye out for possibilities of snagging on clothes or hair, and other tension or pressure scenarios. Especially where metal connects to metal and glass.
One of the unique aspects of HartVariations jewelry is that it incorporates a natural element. This precious, often delicate element receives protective layers of glass and metal. Because of this combination of materials two things are of note; 1). the creature now becomes a wearable talisman to escort you on your journey 2). *and if broken* this beloved, delicate creature would not make it through another round of creation and cannot be fixed.
Not being able to “fix” our jewelry is unfortunately part of what makes your talisman so special. We wish it could be different, but we hope you realize the special nature of our jewelry and if cared for properly, it can last a lifetime.
All focal-pieces are constructed with lead-free silver solder and oxidized.
All necklaces are nickel-free, brass core with a gunmetal finish.
All ear hooks, hoops, and ear threads are dark oxidized sterling silver. All posts and ear nut backings are non-oxidized sterling silver.
All ring bands and bracelet metal is oxidized sterling silver.
We use rose gold-fill for earring findings and chain for our copper patina + rose gold styles.
...........................................................................................
Q: What kind of metal do you use?
A: I use the Tiffany Method of stained glass soldering. The focal metal is a lead-free, nickel-free blend of silver and tin that melts at a lower temperature, allowing me to encase natural objects that are sensitive to heat.
