My long-awaited new jewelry collection is launching August 14th and I’m so excited to share it with you! As many of you already know, I have embarked on a journey down the road to first-time motherhood. Balancing mompreneurship presents some unique challenges which will no doubt be a life-long learning process but as a creative being, I welcome the adventure! This incredible honor sparked an innate instinct to nest (which I thought was a myth until experienced first hand) and approach designing a new collection from a contemplative and decidedly warm, feminine direction. ATMOSPHAERA was born out of this creative journey.
Exploring an effortlessly chic lifestyle I call “Bohemia Moderne,” ATMOSPHAERA conjures sensations of modern living, stylish comfort and feminine belonging. This inspiration captures the essence of the urban modernist and California bohemian. Signature elements feature circles and sphere motifs in enchanting new materials and textures. For example, hammered mixed metal hoops and abalone shell inlay accents combined with cording, chain and fringe. ATMOSPHAERA embodies a casual elegance with its bold and confident feminine aesthetic.
MEANINGFUL MATERIALS
Creating a mood of tranquility with ATMOSPHAERA was top of mind while selecting new materials. Each organic element was uniquely made by mother nature and hand selected for its beauty and symbolism. I'm so excited for you to learn what makes these genuine baubles so special!
Tahitian Pearls
Organic gems formed from the black lipped oyster. These pearls derive their name from the fact that they are cultivated around the islands of French Polynesia, around Tahiti. For centuries pearls have been used by many cultures to help women connect with their feminine energy and are frequently associated with purity, honesty and love. Especially a mother’s love.
Abalone Shell and Ebony Wood Inlay
Abalone lines the shell of an oceanic mollusk. The dreamy aesthetics and calming energy of abalone shell promotes feelings of love, peace and compassion. Hold this shell and visualize connecting to the healing power of the ocean.
Ebony has a long standing place in ancient history of being revered for its beauty and mystery. The dark chocolate tone wood has been prized throughout the ages for its decorative quality and worn as a symbol of protection and power.
Waxed Cotton Cording
Several new styles pay homage to a revival of the arts and crafts movement with hand made macrame, fringe and knotting details. Waxed cotton cording infuses a casual chic, bohemian vibe into ATMOSPHAERA. It mixes perfectly with all the genuine shell and pearl adornments throughout the collection.
