For the Artist (and Muse)

For the Artist: Jewelry Inspired by a Parisian Studio and a Painter’s Palette

Phthalo blue, sienna, and umber—pigments of emotion, gesture, and memory. This week’s collection draws its breath not just from color, but from art itself.

Our founder Paula spent hours in a quiet Parisian atelier, tucked behind a worn heavy wood door and draped in the hush of time. There, beneath skylights and among large folders of yellowing paper, she sifted through thousands of sketches collected over decades. She moved slowly, instinctively, letting her hands guide her to the pieces that reached out to her—a hint of movement here, the delight of an unfinished line there. The air smelled faintly of dust and linseed oil, and as she turned each page, it felt like entering someone’s sacred space.

Among these treasures, she found four intimate studies of the female form rendered in pencil, faded sienna, and bold, deliberate washes of phthalo blue. They were unframed and fragile, but alive with feeling: the curve of a shoulder, the tilt of a jaw, the hush between lines. Each felt less like a finished work and more like a glimpse into the artist’s world.

These were chosen not for their perfection, but for their presence. They carry a quiet sensuality, a devotion to shape and light that feels timeless. They are, in their own right, muses. And it felt only natural to style our newest jewelry collection in dialogue with them.

THE PIECES

Anchored by a phthalo blue glass charm, this necklace draws its strength from color and its soul from intention. Alongside the vivid blue, we paired a dusk-grey faceted stone that shimmers subtly in shifting light—a nod to shadow and softness. A golden compass charm adds a whisper of direction, an emblem for the creative heart that is always seeking.

These pieces are designed not simply to be worn, but to be felt. To be reached for on quiet mornings at your desk. To be layered over linen in the late afternoon. To catch the light during a gallery visit, a moment of inspiration, or while sketching in the margins of your notebook.

Blue Glass Stone Charm 

Intricately cut and rich with color, these German glass stones mimic stained glass windows, famed for their beauty and wonder across the cathedrals of Europe. Cast rainbows across your skin with the addition of these to any chain.

Dusk Grey Charm

Delicately framed in gold, this petite German glass stone captures the quiet beauty of the evening sky. With its smoky grey hue, it reflects light like the last whisper of twilight.

Compass Charm 

Crafted for star navigation, this compass is a sea explorer’s dream, adorned with tiny gemstones to light the way. Wear it on a charm bracelet as a reminder: you are the captain of your life.

Rolo Chain Connector Necklace, 3mm, 14k

Smooth and simple, this rolo connector chain necklace serves a blank slate for any desired pendants or charms, but can be worn on its own as you wish with the help of a charm connector.

Round Connector Charm

Easy to open, sturdy enough they won’t accidentally come undone, these 14k gold plate charm connectors come in a variety of shapes and sizes to help you customize your charms and chains.

Together, they become a talisman—not just of style, but of intention. A palette you wear. A statement of the life you want to lead.

THE MUSES

Each sketch Paula selected stands alone in its quiet power. One features a reclining figure, her back a graceful curve against a wash of blue, her form only half-suggested by the artist’s hand. Another captures a woman mid-turn, a single sienna line tracing her shoulder with aching simplicity.

These are not polished portraits. They are moments caught between thought and execution—the raw space where creativity lives. Their imperfection is what makes them captivating.

As we styled our jewelry on these artworks, something clicked. The pairing felt reverent. Not decorative, but collaborative. As if the charms completed the sketches, and the sketches gave the jewelry breath.

Artist Hand Earrings

Painter, architect, poet—a king among artists crowned legends by the Renaissance—Michelangelo once sculpted life from stone as though his hands were wrought by god. His creation outlasts the ages, stirring souls from Florence to Rome to reach for something akin to the divine.

These earrings are inspired by those masterful hands, stretched across the Sistine Chapel, captured here in antiqued gold.

FOR THE ARTIST

This collection is for the artist at heart. For those who see the poetry in palette knives and shadows on plaster. For anyone who has ever lost track of time in a museum or caught their breath at the curve of a statue’s hip.

Wear these pieces like a sketch—delicate, expressive, unfinished in all the right ways. Let them be your palette, your ritual, your reverence for the creative life.

Whether you create, collect, or simply admire, this collection honors the beauty of process and the intimacy of inspiration. And like any good piece of art, it leaves room for interpretation.

We hope it inspires you to seek beauty in quiet places.

To follow your own creative compass.

To see yourself as the muse.
