For me, one of those chapters was South Korea.

Something about that time changed the way I saw myself. When I thought about leaving, I knew I wanted to take more than memories with me. I wanted a reminder of who I had become, what I had found the strength to move through, and the future I was beginning to imagine.

I first imagined that reminder as a tattoo. But when my doctor advised against it for personal health reasons, I began looking for another way to carry that meaning.

It became a necklace.

Even now, seeing it brings me back to that chapter, and to a version of myself I never want to lose touch with.

At 23, my partner and I founded this brand with that feeling in mind: the connection between something you wear and something you want to keep close.

We wanted to create jewelry you could make your own, in the most personal sense. A piece that holds a little of your life. Something you reach for in the morning because you know what it means, even if no one else does.

Perhaps yours marks the moment you chose yourself. A beginning you felt ready for, or one you had to grow into. Perhaps it reminds you of someone you love, or becomes a gift that says, I see who you are, and I wanted you to have something to remember it by.
