About
The Breaking Open
Let me tell you about the year I stopped making jewelry and started channeling it.
2023. I had just been invited to COUTURE—the kind of recognition that signals you've arrived. My rings were selling. The business was working. But I was hollow. I was creating from my head, not my hands. From market research, not marrow.
That's when I returned to the mat.
Not as exercise. As excavation.
The ancient Egyptian and Kemetic yoga course wasn't about fitness or flexibility—it was about remembering. Each asana unlocked something. Each breath work session downloaded images I couldn't unsee: amulets wrapped in linen, collar pieces that protected the throat chakra, rings that weren't decoration but declaration.
I wasn't learning. I was remembering.
The more I moved through sequences practiced by my ancestors thousands of years ago, the more I understood: I come from a lineage of alchemists. Of protectors. Of people who understood that what you wear on your body shapes what you carry in your soul.

But here's what broke me wide open: I realized my work had always been ancestral.I just didn't have the language for it yet.
Before the yoga course, before the meditation downloads, I was already doing the work. I just didn't know I was being guided.
I've always been a student first. A researcher. A woman who believes that opening an actual book, touching actual pages, standing on actual sacred ground is the only worthy first step in the creative process. I'm not scrolling for inspiration. I'm digging for truth.
For years, I'd spend hours—entire afternoons—in the NewYork Public Library, surrounded by rare books, archival research tools, texts that smell like time itself. I'd sit with Egyptian amulet catalogs, metallurgy journals, ancient trade route maps. I'dtrace the movement of turquoise from Afghan mines to pharaohs' tombs. I'd read about Byzantine gold-working techniques until the words blurred.
I thought I was just being thorough. I didn't realize I was being called.
Looking back now, I see it clearly: every book I pulled off those shelves was my ancestors handing me the map. Every research session was them saying, "Keep going. You're close. You're remembering.
"My early work—the pieces I made before I understood their deeper resonance—was already channeling something ancient. The stackability I built into my rings? That's how ancient Egyptians wore their jewelry—layered, accumulated, spiritually compounded. The interchangeable elements? That's how talismans worked—modular protection you adapted to your needs that day, that season, that life passage.
I was already walking in my ancestral frequency. I just didn't know it yet.
The yoga practice didn't create the connection. It helped me recognize what wasalready happening. It gave me the spiritual vocabulary for what my hands had been doing all along.

The Pilgrimage Year: 2024
Then came 2024. The year of intentional pilgrimage.
I spent the first months traveling—not for vacation, but for sourcing. For standing on sacred ground. For letting ancient places recalibrate my frequency.
Japan: Where I learned that reverence is a daily practice, not a special occasion.Where I watched artisans work in silence, their hands moving with the kind of precision that only comes from generational knowledge. Where I understood that craftsmanship is prayer.
The Vatican: Standing in rooms where gold leaf has covered walls for centuries, where power and divinity are made visible through material. Where I felt the weight of legacy—how what we create outlasts us, speaks for us, protects us long after we're gone.
Venice: The city built on water, on impossibility, on merchants who understood that beauty is currency. Where I sourced glass beads that carried the same trade routes my ancestors would have known. Where I understood: commerce and spirituality were never separate. They're both alchemy.
Rome: Walking streets where ancient goldsmiths worked, where Roman matrons wore jewelry that signified everything—marital status, wealth, family lineage, political alliance. Where I understood that adornment has always been code. Always been power. Always been protection.
Arizona: Standing on Indigenous land, feeling the earth hum differently. Where turquoise isn't decoration—it's medicine. It's sky stone. It's the bridge between earth and divine. Where I learned, again, that stones choose you, not the other way around.
Each place recalibrated me. Each space helped me bridge worlds—ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, spiritual and material. These weren't vacations.These were initiations.
When I'm spiritually connected—when I've done the reading, walked the sacred ground, sat in meditation until the channel is clear—that's when I can create. Not before. Never before.
I don't create for Instagram. I don't create for market trends or algorithm approval. create when the journey is clear. When the ancestors say, "Now. This one. Make this real."
And here's the truth that humbles me every single day: I've been guided over the last several years to arrive at this moment. Every book. Every research session. Every meditation. Every pilgrimage. Every piece I've ever made. It was all preparing me for The Return.
And this? This is just the beginning.
The Return: 10 Sacred Objects
This collection is called The Return because that's what it is. My return to practice. My return to research. My return to understanding that I was already walking this path — I just didn't have the words for it yet.
And now? It's your return. To self. To power. To understanding jewelry as spiritual technology.
This is Act One of a 48 - piece universe —the first 10 pieces of a buildable, life long collection. Here's what each piece carries:
SOVEREIGN: The Amethyst Authority Ring
SOVEREIGN holds a 3.69-carat dark amethyst cushion cut—the stone of spiritual sovereignty and inner vision. Amethyst was worn by bishops and royalty not for status, but to stay clear when everyone else was clouded. In Rome, I read about matrons who wore rings to signify their power—not given, but claimed. This ring carries that energy. Surrounding stones include citrine for manifestation, sky blue topaz for divine communication, peridot for transformation. This is your seal. Your sovereignty made visible.
AURORA: The Transformation Spectrum Earrings
AURORA is built like ancient amulets—layered protection, stacked power, accumulated intention. The 7mm peridot marquise crowns each piece, flanked by amethyst, sky blue topaz, rhodolite in a symphony that mirrors transformation as a spectrum, not a destination. Each stone represents a frequency of change: amethyst for spiritual clarity, topaz for divine communication, peridot for releasing what no longer serves, rhodolite for staying grounded through the shift. Wear these when you're actively becoming someone new.
ESSENCE: The Personal Talisman Charm
ESSENCE is intimacy made wearable. Small enough to keep close to your heart, detailed enough to carry your story. The infinity symbol wraps around a constellation of stones for transformation's quietest moments: sky blue topaz for speaking truth, amethyst for spiritual clarity, peridot for release, citrine for manifestation, rhodolite for staying rooted. This charm layers with VISAGE or wears alone when you want your talisman close and private. Your personal seal. Your quiet power. Your infinity made visible.
ANCHOR: Rooted in Love
I designed ANCHOR during the hardest part of my practice—confronting shadows, doubts, fears. Every morning, the mat whispered: You are rooted in love. You have always been rooted in love. This cuff carries that frequency. Open design for easy wear. Over 80 gemstones—white topaz for clarity, amethyst for protection, peridot for transformation, rhodolite for grounding, citrine for joy, sky blue topaz for truth. InJapan, I watched artisans layer. In Rome, I learned ancient women stacked bracelets for spiritual accumulation—each one a prayer, a protection, a promise.This bracelet stacks with everything you own. Before you were wounded, you were love. You still are. You always will be.
REIGN: The Citrine Power Ring
In the Vatican archives, I learned that rings were never decoration—they were seals.Your mark. Your authority made tangible. REIGN carries that same frequency, crowned with a 2.97-carat dark citrine that catches light like desert sun through stained glass. Citrine is the merchant's stone. The alchemist's gold. Surrounding this center are eight stones for ancestral power: aquamarine for courage, turquoise for protection, rhodolite for grounding, peridot for renewal. Wear this alone to command space. Stack it when you're building an empire.
DEVOTION: The Turquoise Protection Studs
DEVOTION features 5mm turquoise cabochons—the master protection stone. InArizona, I learned turquoise isn't decoration, it's medicine. Egyptian pharaohs were buried with it. Native ceremonies wove it in as sacred. It was traded along the SilkRoad as both currency and talisman. These studs sit close to your voice, your truth, your ability to speak up. The rhodolite accents ground the ethereal quality. Wear these every day. Let them become part of your frequency.
VISAGE: The Face of Self-Embodiment
VISAGE descended during a new moon meditation. The face emerges from six sky blue topaz half moons arranged in sacred geometry, each catching light like lunar phases. In ancient Egypt, amulets bore faces not for vanity but for witness—to remind you: you are seen, you are divine, your presence matters. Sky blue topaz channels divine communication. Peridot marks transformation points. Rhodolite grounds the ethereal into embodied. This pendant is designed for CONTINUUM, interchangeable as you shift and evolve. This is your mirror. Your witness. Your divine self made visible.
CONTINUUM: Your Unbroken Line
CONTINUUM took months to design. Each link is my logo—the infinity symbol—repeated, interlocked, unbroken. I spent hours figuring out how to construct this from scratch, how to make a chain from my own visual language, my own energetic signature. In Japan, I learned repetition is meditation. In Venice, chains aren't just connectors—they're protection. Ancient Egyptian collar necklaces understood: what encircles your neck guards your throat, your voice, your truth. This 20-inch length sits at your collarbone—visible, powerful, commanding. Available in standard weight(13.8g) for substantial presence, or lighter weight (11.0g) for delicate strength. This is your lineage. Your unbroken line. Your infinity.
VESTIGE: The Navigational Talisman
VESTIGE is an eight-pointed star, a compass rose, a celestial map for those who refuse to get lost. At its center: a 10mm turquoise cabochon, the master protection stone, the sky bridge, the navigator's companion. In Venetian markets, merchants wore turquoise for safe passage. In Arizona, it's called sky stone—the literal bridge between earth and heaven. The eight points represent eight directions, eight moon phases, the eight-fold path. Wear this as a brooch on your lapel, your bag, your jacket. Wear it as a pendant on a long chain. This is your compass. Your navigation tool. Your reminder that you always know the way home.
The Architecture of Buildability
This collection is designed to grow with you because transformation isn't a destination, it's a practice.CONTINUUM holds different pendants. ANCHOR stacks across years. REIGN andSOVEREIGN compound. Over the next year, we'll release the remaining 38 pieces—each designed to integrate, to layer, to become part of your ongoing story.This is the opposite of fast fashion. This is slow luxury. Sacred accumulation.Intentional legacy building. You're not buying jewelry. You're beginning a collection that your daughter—or your daughter's daughter—will wear with the same intention you do.
The Invitation: Be Early to Your Own Becoming
Right now, these pieces exist outside of retail. Which means no retail markups. No store margins. No gallery commissions.You're getting founder pricing. Collector pricing. The kind of early access that, historically, creates the most valuable collections.This is the same strategy that's built art collections, wine cellars, and generational wealth for centuries: Be early. Be intentional. Acquire before the market catches up. After this year, these pieces enter retail channels. Prices adjust to market. But right now, in this moment, you have the choice to invest at the ground floor.
This Is Just the Beginning
I've been guided here—through libraries and temples, through meditation andpilgrimage, through years of making jewelry I didn't fully understand untilnow—tothis moment.The Return is my journey. But it's also yours.Your return to self. Your return to power. Your return to understanding that what youwear on your body is never just decoration—it's declaration, protection, and legacy.Every piece in this collection is a portal. A reminder. A reclamation.I didn't create this collection for Instagram or external validation. I created it becauseI was guided to. Because the ancestors said it was time. Because the journey isfinally clear.And this? This is just the beginning.The ancestors are calling.
