Collection No. 27- Wicked For Good

Another trip to Oz. More emerald greens, Glinda pinks, stained glass, sparkle, and just a little more magic. 💚🩷

I'd first explored the world of Wicked in my Holiday 2024 collection, mixing Emerald City greens and Glinda shimmer with Christmas designs during a very difficult season in my life. In November 2025, with Wicked For Good, I returned to that world for a collection all its own. It felt like a natural next chapter for ideas I'd already begun to explore.

What I love about these pieces is how many little parts of the story found their way into the jewelry. Elphaba's deep green stained glass shows up in different shapes and textures, while Glinda brings the soft pinks, delicate butterflies, luminous pearls, and starburst details. There are portrait dangles celebrating the two witches, a hat and crystal moment, and an emerald-green elixir. And of course, I couldn't resist the broader Oz nostalgia: the yellow brick road, ruby slippers, and a beautiful little silver crown.

I've always loved letting films and fictional worlds inspire more than one kind of design. Some pieces become little character portraits; others are about a color palette, a texture, a costume detail, or the feeling a story leaves behind. This collection has a bit of all of that. It's playful and sentimental, colorful and intricate, with so many tiny choices to discover up close.

And there's something lovely about seeing it next to that first Wicked chapter in the Archives. The 2024 pieces belong to their own complicated moment; these are a distinct second visit to the same world. Both have a place in the story of Olive + Arrow, just as every Falloween, every holiday collection, and every unexpected creative obsession does.
