ADORATION: Our Family's Story in New Orleans

From jazz nights to family traditions: celebrating the moments that last forever.

In August, my family took a beautiful trip to New Orleans to celebrate the magic of family, tradition, and the artistry that connects us all.

About

For the first time in seven years, our family took a break: an intentional pause to recharge, reconnect, and discover fresh inspiration. We found ourselves in the heart of New Orleans, a city alive with history, music, and soul.

This wasn't just a vacation; it was an exploration of how the stories of places, people, and moments intertwine with the stories told through our jewelry. From jazz-filled nights to spirited family meals, and even an unforgettable photoshoot in the stunning setting of our hotel, our trip reminded us why every piece we create is more than just an accessory. It is a thread in the fabric of your family's legacy.

Through this campaign, we hope to capture the essence of what makes jewelry timeless: its ability to carry love, memory, and connection across generations.

Hosted by the warm and vibrant hospitality of NOLA, we created our ADORATION campaign, a love letter to the memories we hold close and the heirlooms that help tell our stories.

Jewels, Sasha's Mom

How do you view jewelry?
Jewelry has always been an adornment for me, something I collect and wear daily. It's more than an accessory; it's a way to express myself. In our family, jewelry has always been exchanged as a symbol of love and memory, a tradition that goes back generations. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I remember how my siblings, my mom, and I would dress up so elegantly. It's something I've carried with me every day since.

What was her favorite NOLA moment?
My favorite moment in New Orleans was the jazz clubs. I couldn't believe how alive the streets became at night. It was like the city came to life with music and energy. It's an experience I'll always cherish.

What unique personality traits or quirks did she bring to the shoot?
I'm someone who loves creating joy and spreading love everywhere I go. Whether it's family or strangers, I treat everyone like they're part of my family. During the shoot, I think I brought that same energy. It's just who I am.
