June News

🩶 Welcome, treasured soul,

June has arrived, and I am so glad you're here. Whether you've been with me from the beginning or you've only recently found your way into this little corner of the world, welcome — this newsletter is always written for you, with you in mind.

May was such a beautiful month down here in the Mole Hole. For those of you new to my world, the Mole Hole is my dedicated workshop — windowless, yes, but filled with excellent daylight lighting and absolutely brimming with creativity! It's where every piece of Neena Kay jewellery is dreamed up and brought to life, by hand, just for you.

This past month I've been particularly lost (in the best way) working on some pieces that feel especially close to my heart. There's something so satisfying about the process — the hammering, the shaping, the way silver slowly becomes something that will be worn and treasured. I've been working on some beautifully tactile bangle designs and some new pendant work that I'm truly excited to share with you soon. Every single piece I make begins with an intention — a desire that the woman who wears it will feel her strength, her power, and her magic.

I also want to say — genuinely and from the heart — how much your messages and emails mean to me. Hearing from you, knowing that a piece has arrived and feels right, that it's being worn on special occasions or quietly every day… that is everything. Thank you. Thank you for choosing handmade. Thank you for choosing slow.

With love,

Neena x

Wheel of the Year — June Celebrations 🌞

Litha  |  Summer Solstice  |  Sunday 21 June 2026

June belongs to Litha — the radiant crown of the Wheel of the Year. Also known as Midsummer or the Summer Solstice, Litha falls this year on Sunday 21 June, when the sun reaches its zenith and we experience the longest day and shortest night of the year.

It is a festival of light, abundance, and the fullness of life. Nature is in her most extravagant glory — flowers are in full bloom, the air hums with warmth and possibility. In pagan tradition, Litha marks the height of the Oak King's reign before the Holly King begins his slow ascent, and the days, imperceptibly at first, begin to shorten again.

Litha is a time to celebrate what you have grown. Your intentions set at Imbolc and Ostara — how have they blossomed? This is a moment to stand in your own sunshine. To acknowledge your power, your creativity, your radiance.

Jewellery as part of your Litha celebration

Ritual adornment is as old as time. Wearing a piece of jewellery that carries intention — whether it's a bangle stacked on your wrist, a pendant close to your heart, or a ring that grounds you — is a beautiful way to mark sacred moments and carry that energy with you long after the celebration ends.

For Litha, consider pieces from the Goddess Luna or Goddess Selene collections — both rooted in balance, strength, and the interplay of light and dark that the solstice so perfectly embodies. Or perhaps the She Stands in Her Power collection feels right as you step fully into the brightness of summer.

Whether you're gathering with others to mark the longest day, spending time in nature, or simply lighting a candle and sitting quietly with yourself — jewellery can be your talisman, your reminder, your anchor. Choose something that feels like you at your most luminous.

🌜Moon Musings — June 2026

The moon is always my guide, and June brings us a beautiful lunar journey from dark to full and back again.

🌑  New Moon  |  Monday 15 June  |  03:56 BST

The June New Moon arrives in the early hours of Monday 15 June at 03:56 BST. New moons are a sacred threshold — a moment of complete darkness that holds the seed of everything yet to come.

This is your invitation to turn inward. Light a candle, sit quietly, and ask yourself: what do I wish to call in this lunar cycle? What am I ready to plant? New moons are not for action — they are for listening. For dreaming. For setting intentions that will grow as the moon grows.

A beautiful ritual for the New Moon is to write your intentions by candlelight, fold the paper, and place it somewhere sacred until the full moon. Wearing jewellery that speaks to your intention — something that represents strength, intuition, or transformation — can serve as a powerful reminder of the seeds you've planted.

🌕  Full Strawberry Moon  |  Tuesday 30 June  |  00:57 BST

The Full Moon of June is the Strawberry Moon — named after the peak of the strawberry season, a time of ripeness, sweetness, and abundance. She reaches fullness in the early hours of Tuesday 30 June at 00:57 BST.

In Sagittarius energy, this full moon invites optimism, expansion, and a sense of adventure. It's a time to celebrate what has come to fruition since the new moon and to release anything that no longer serves you.

Full moons are wonderful moments for cleansing your jewellery — place your pieces under the moonlight overnight to refresh their energy. It's a small, beautiful ritual that connects you to the cycles of the natural world.

✨Whether you light a bonfire, take a moonlit walk, or simply stand at your window and breathe — pause on the 30th and let yourself be seen by the Strawberry Moon. You deserve to be celebrated too ✨
