"Love to—especially in the form of a new charm collection in 18k gold as the ostensible vessel. By now, you know that symbolic charms of any kind are a hot topic, especially when it comes to customizing a meaningful story with trinkets as text.

From the collection notes: “As a designer, I feel that a talisman should be a personal comfort to wear for a sense of belonging. A touchstone intended to become a part of you and carry you for a lifetime, worthy of being passed down to future generations.”
This idea surfaces as deeply engraved executions of sunray and star motifs, subtle references to evil eyes and traditional hamsas alongside mystical moonstones, soothing turquoise, and tiny diamond flecks to give everything a luxurious feel.
