Alchemystic LLC

Alchemystic is a locally owned business in Moscow, Idaho, founded by Jessica Swan, who has lived on the Palouse for 18 years. Dedicated to sustainability and intentional craftsmanship, Jessica creates one-of-a-kind wearable and functional art, along with herbal tea blends, salves, lip balms, and other handcrafted products.

Her resin jewelry incorporates elements from fruits, flowers, and vegetables that are locally grown, ethically wildcrafted, or sourced from the Moscow Food Co-op and Rosauers. By 2025, she aims to collaborate with local farmers to exclusively use regionally grown plant materials, preserving the essence of the Palouse in wearable art for generations to come. She also offers custom memorial and intuitive jewelry, each piece imbued with personal significance.

Sustainability is at the heart of Alchemystic ~ Apothecary. Many jewelry pieces feature reclaimed materials, such as broken jewelry, salvaged artwork components, and leather scraps repurposed from furniture stores. Jessica also incorporates naturally foraged elements like moss, lichen, mushrooms, driftwood, seashells, nuts, seeds, and locally grown herbs.

Additionally, ethically reclaimed animal materials are thoughtfully integrated. Feathers come from natural sheds, legal harvests, or reclaimed roadkill. Butterflies, sourced from conservation sanctuaries, are collected only after they complete their natural lifecycle—helping to support global insect conservation efforts. Jewel beetle wings, a striking feature in some designs, are sourced directly from local communities in Thailand, where the beetles are consumed as a food source. By repurposing their casings, Jessica helps prevent waste while promoting sustainable insect-based protein and supporting the Thai suppliers she partners with.

Her designs are deeply inspired by Celtic, Norse, woodland, fae, and oceanic themes, blending natural elements with both human craftsmanship and some machine-made components. Custom orders are available, with pickup options for previous orders. Offerings include earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, bookmarks, hair jewelry, journals, feather fans, display art, incense, herbal sachets, tea blends, and more.

Jessica infuses each creation with symbolic meaning, drawing on her background as an energy practitioner, hypnotherapist, intuitive, lay herbalist, and educator. Her practice, Journey to Wholeness, which focuses on spiritual growth and healing, is also based in Moscow, Idaho.
