A gold or silver band, the Epona Ring is formed in tribute to the Goddess of Horses, with eyes studded by purple sapphire.

The Roman deity Epona was often sculpted in stone, covered in fresh flowers, and left at the entrance to a stables to protect the horses and humans inside. As a protector of riders, Epona was a symbol of perseverance and strength - both qualities associated with horses themselves.

As we wander through life, we encounter deserts from time to time. Long stretches of the dusty and the arid, in which dry heat surrounds us, and we see no oasis on the horizon. The glimpses of beauty to be found here are all the more captivating for their rarity. They defy their surroundings through their soft, lush blooming. The desert rose has come to define this for Olivia, and is the name of the collection to which this necklace belongs. The Fortuna Charm Necklace, called after the fickle Roman goddess of fortune, reminds us to treasure the shimmering memories of joyous times. It also tells us to search for, and to collect, the beautiful kernels, that can be found, if we look closely, within the dark interludes of life’s journey. They glow with light, guiding our way back to the beautiful and the good.

Blue eyes were considered to be a sign of the Gods by the ancient Sumerians, and they decorated many statues with these. In East Asian cultures, deep blue was associated with water, and light blue with the sky. The two together represented life, and thus were powerful. This symbol came to be interpreted as the Nazar, an amulet which could ward off the curse of the “evil eye”.

The Olympic deities Athena and Zeus are both said to have used the image of the gorgoneion as an amulet of protection. Their use of magic against evil is a practise carrying across the centuries. As such, the wearing of the Gorgon’s image emphasises the divine aspects within all of us. It’s fearsome yet beautiful face represents what has been called a dynamic life energy, the tug of wild spirits that calls to all of us. Affixed to small hoops, the Gorgoneion Earrings speak to unchecked hearts and minds.

In Arabic, shams means sun. Brighten up your days.

The moon has always been a symbol of the woman. We find this mysterious relationship between the three phases of the Moon, the seasonal rhythms of the Earth, and the three stages in a woman's life. All of this we can find symbolically depicted in the lunar image of the Goddess. She represented the primary image that influenced nearly all concepts of Deity for at least 20,000 years.

Combine the protective properties of the Gorgoneion, and the power of the Lion, with these mix-and-match hoops.

A reminder that we are all in this strange Universe together.

This elegantly embellished band comes in gold or silver, and is named for the heroine of the epic Renaissance poem Orlando Inamorato, in which Angelica is the beloved subject of Orlando’s affections.

As Princess of Cathay, Angelica was so beautiful that any knight she met would pursue her hand in marriage. In a moment of great danger, as she fled from these unwanted suitors, she became trapped on a rock by the ocean. She was about to be devoured by a great sea monster when an African knight named Ruggiero rescued her, and gave her a magical ring which has the power to render the wearer invisible. She used this gift to maintain her freedom and independence, by placing the ring in her mouth and disappearing at will. No longer needing to flee, she lived a happy life full of liberty with the magic ring as her most precious item.

The almond-shaped cloud of luminescence which surrounds sacred personages is called a Mandorle. It shows heavenly moments which transcend time and space - a resurrection, or a prophecy, a transfiguration, and an ascension. Here the Byzantine Mandorle Medallion is surrounded by three emeralds which enhance loyalty, love, and happiness.

The Flumine Necklace is a deep blue string of cylindrical lapis lazuli beads, with a name meaning "river" in Latin.

There are two stones, or “lapis” used in the Roman religion - both known as the lapis mannes. The first stone was the lapis above the Gate of the Orci. The second was its counterpart - the water bringer, and life giver. It was used in a ceremony called “the calling of the waters”. From its home, atop a mountain, in the Temple of Mars, the lapis would be brought by the priests. In times of drought they would ceremonially pour water on the stone, and call on Jupiter to create rain.

Hand-strung beads of pure, natural lapis lazuli sourced ethically and directly from Afghanistan. Each stone differs slightly in colour meaning each necklace is unique.
