Mortal's Market!
We are so excited to be part of Mortal’s Market this year!
The Mortals’ Market is a virtual marketplace that celebrates the diversity, artistry, and spirit of the death positive movement.
Presented by the Order of the Good Death and created by hosts Meagan Meli and Louise Hung, the Mortals’ Market brings together a carefully curated group of artists whose creativity, activism, and vision enrich the conversations around death. More than anything the Mortals’ Market endeavors to bring together creators and death positive enthusiasts in an imaginative, welcoming, and FUN space!
Plus fall is just around the corner. Time to get cozy in your own home and do some shopping! In addition to creating an inviting, deathy, virtual environment we will be raising money for a partner charitable organization. Stay tuned for that announcement! Check back here regularly, as well as on the Order of the Good Death’s Twitter and Instagram for updates.
Production Delays Due to Covid-19
As I have previously communicated, we unfortunately are experiencing significant delays in our supply chains. These delays are causing a back-up of orders, and as it is only two people who operate this tiny business unfortunately our production time will need to be extended by one to two months. This puts total production time currently at 4-5 months for made to order jewels. Pre-made jewels ship on schedule, usually in 3 days.
We thank everyone that has been to kind and understanding during this difficult time. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out, and myself, my partner or our friend Hans will be more than happy to assist you.
Stay Safe,
Keri
Some important upcoming events!
Hey babes! It’s that crazy busy time of year were we prep for the holiday season. Here’s a few notes to keep in mind about some stuff coming up.
• We will be out of the studio October 28th - November 9th. Our made-to-order production time does not include time we are out of the studio (we can’t make jewelry on the road) so please always check our calendar if you need anything by a specific date. The periods when we are out of the studio are usually listed 3-4 months in advance in our Calendar.
• LAST DAY TO ORDER JEWELRY TO ARRIVE BY CHRISTMAS IS OCTOBER 31st!!! Please make a note of this! As it is every year, the last day to purchase made-to-order (for domestic and international) orders for arrival by Christmas is October 31st. Pre-made jewelry shipping deadline is later, check our calendar for those dates.
• ALSO, October 31st is the last day to order a Cloven ring before it is retired again until next fall.

It was like a surreal dream to sell our jewels alongside amazing artists and metalsmiths like Theeth Jewelry, Unloveable Jewelry, and Morgaine Faye, PLUS what a treat it was to be able to gaze upon the gorgeous illustrations of Fyodor Pavlov in person.
Other talented vendors included: Werther & Gray Candles, Four Fires, Lapels & Spells, Wrong World Ceramics, Dellamorte & Co., Black Iris Tattoo, Your Gothic Granny, Old Growth Alchemy, Tia Roxae, Defective Pudding, Dylan Garrett Smith, Amy Rose Photography, and Honey Rose Botanicals. Sarah Potter provided tarot readings and DJ Zvetschka provided the otherworldly music. Wicked Florist’s arrangements complimented the theme of the evening beautifully.
We can’t wait to come back, NYC! Thank you so much to all the amazing hosts, vendors, and guests. We had a wonderful evening and met so many amazing souls.

Summer News!
Hey everyone! We wanted to update you on some changes and upcoming events. Please watch the calendar here on the site for any of our upcoming out of studio times. Remember, any orders placed during that time will not be processed or started until we are back in the studio. This includes all pre-made, shirts, stickers or pins. We are also working hard on updating and completing our line of Zodiac rings and have removed them from the website until the entire line is completed. We will announce their return here and on our social media pages.
Shop Summer Vacation!
Hey darlings! We will be out of the studio June 15th - June 26th. As usual, orders received during this time will be processed upon our return to the shop. Emails will continue to be answered, but please allow an additional day or two for a reply as only Ryan will be handling emails during this time. We are also working on adding a searchable photo gallery page to the shop, so if there is a specific stone or metal combination you are curious about it may be faster to find than by searching our instagram or Facebook page. However, as always we would be happy to assist any requests through email. Please continue to periodically check this blog for upcoming events, sales, and shop vacations. Checking our calendar can make it easy to see what we have planned. :)
Fire Updates and June Vacation
Hello darlings! To update you on our fire situation, we are still making repairs and will probably not be able to return to the studio until after June. So until further notice we are still operating on our 6-8 week production schedule while we are in the temporary studio. Also, we will be on shop vacation from June 15 - June 26. Remember, production time doesn't include shop vacations so please plan accordingly. We thank you all for your continued support and patience while we work through this difficult time. We love you all!
Shop Vacation
After having the fire in our studio back in February, these past couple months have been a whirlwind of craziness. We are finally taking some time to rest and relax away from all the headaches that come with being displaced due to a fire. We will be out of the studio during this time (April 7th - 16th) but you are welcome to place your order or send us a message. All orders placed during our vacation will begin processing upon our return, and any emails will be handled by our friend Ryan. Since he will be the only person handling emails please understand replies may take 2-3 days. We thank you so much for all of your support while we have been dealing with this fire nightmare, your love and kindness help keep us positive! We hope to be able to return to our studio in the next few months. Thank you and we'll be back soon!
Calendar / Shop Vacation / Production Time
Hello darlings! Be sure to keep an eye on our calendar for shop vacations and events. We will be out of the studio April 8th - 16th, and this will affect production time. Current production time is 6-8 weeks not including shop vacations. Please make sure to take this into consideration when placing your order. Orders placed while we are away from the studio will be processed upon our return. Due to being displaced because of the fire in our studio in February, we are still operating on a 6-8 week production schedule. This will be the production time frame until our studio is repaired, which may not be finished for another couple months. Keep checking here for updates as they become available. :)
Production time update
Hello loves, due to the fire in our studio the first of this month we are extending our production time of 6-8 weeks until the end of April. As always, if you have any questions or need a rush order please email us at orders@omniastudios.com for assistance. :)
Power is on!
We have power! We are back up and running, although some orders will see an additional week with production time due to the fire. Thank you all so much for your patience. Your love and understanding has touched us so deeply. We couldn't wish for more amazing fans. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
***EMERGENCY UPDATE! Please read!***
Hello, dear friends.
On February 1st a neighboring building caught fire, and the fire spread to our studio and home. Thankfully we were able to escape unharmed, however the studio is currently without power while crews clean up the smoke and fire damage. Luckily, no equipment or orders were lost or damaged, however without power we temporarily cannot work on current orders. You are welcome (and encouraged!) to still place your order with us, as every bit helps us rebuild, however we urge you to understand this event will set back order production time by about two weeks and you may see a delay with your order being processed. We appreciate your understanding, and we welcome you to email us (info@omniastudios.com) with any questions you may have. Email communication has also been affected, and it may take a few days longer to receive a response. We hope to have everything back up and running in the next week coming. Thank you so much for your understanding and compassion during this stressful time. We love you all!
- Keri and Nate
