About Common Mercury

about common mercury

Designed thoughtfully in Richmond, VA | Manufactured with care in New York City, NY

Welcome to the family

The name “Common Mercury” is derived from an appreciation for the human pursuit of beauty and immortality. Historically, cultures across the world have referred to alchemy by terms denoting change or transmutation, using mercury to unite with other mundane metals in the hopes of creating silver and gold.

Our brand is imbued with this hopeful mysticism, as well as a sort of naive playfulness, reminding us that life is a grand collage of the beautiful and mundane - we can move freely throughout it, appreciating the world’s natural beauty and humanity’s humble offerings whenever we please.
