🌿 The Symbols We Wear: The Story Behind My New Charm Necklaces

July 8, 2025

“Jewelry is more than an accessory. It’s a mirror, a message, and a little reminder of who we are becoming.”

I’ve always been drawn to symbolism - those tiny things that somehow speak to something bigger. A charm can hold meaning the way a tattoo does… but quieter, more personal. It can sit close to your heart, where only you know what it means.

That’s exactly what inspired my newest collection of Symbolic Charm Jewelry:
small, intentional pieces made with earthy colors and meaningful symbols - designed to support your journey, celebrate your story, and remind you of who you are when you forget.

🌙 The Charms & What They Represent

Here are just a few of the symbols you’ll find in this launch:

🦋 Butterfly – Growth, transformation, and becoming who you’re meant to be.

🐉 Dragonfly – Lightness, adaptability, and spiritual awakening.

☀️ Sun – Vitality, joy, and rising again.

🐝 Bumble Bee – Purpose, community, and the sweet rewards of persistence.

🎵 Music Note – Expression, harmony, and soul connection.

💛 Who They're For

These necklaces are for the woman on a healing path.
For the dreamer on the edge of a new beginning.
For the artist, the seeker, the nature lover.
For anyone who’s ready to wear a piece of meaning, not just something pretty.

I’ve had people pick up a charm at my booth and say, “This one’s mine.” They don’t even have to read the meaning, they just know. That’s how I know I’m doing what I’m meant to.
