"Two years ago, I went on a trip of a lifetime to South America, where I was finally able to see my family again after a long time. I travelled throughout Chile and was lucky enough to visit the south. While there, I came across a lovely jewellery shop selling stunning silver pieces, including this ring. The stone is the rare Piedra Cruz, which can only be found in Chile's El Cajón River.

It's sentimental to me because it connects me to my culture and keeps my heart close to my family and Chilean roots."

"This penny was given to me by my older sister when I moved overseas last year. She cannot remember where or how it came into her possession, but when she gave it to me she said it was for guidance and protection. It lives in my purse and when days feel heavy it doesn’t just feel like a totem of protection, but also a piece of my sister that I carry. On these days, it feels like she’s standing there next to me supporting me on my journey."

"To wear this is to step into an authentic expression of myself not bound by trends or the mundane world. This labradorite piece woven with love embodies the energy of many dances, experiences and human connections. To me it’s more than just a necklace, it’s talisman of my own journey and freedom."

"My keepsake is a keychain. It was a custom gift from my best friend when she decided to move away from Bali.

Besides being a memento that reminds me of her, the keychain also holds another special meaning. It has a tennis charm, representing the sport I've stayed committed to after going through one of the lowest points in my life. Tennis became more than just a hobby, it became part of my healing process.

Every time I see it, it reminds me that i have a beautiful friendship, to have fun, and also it's always possible to move forward, one step at a time."

"I bought this necklace several years ago from a vintage jewellery shop. I have always loved jewellery and tend to wear the same pieces for years, and over time, they naturally become part of me.

I am especially drawn to vintage jewellery because it carries a sense of connection to the women who came before us. There is something powerful about an object that has already lived and stood the test of time. Somehow, wearing it gives me a sense of strength and confidence. There is also something about gold that reinforces this feeling and has the power to subtly transform the way we feel.

For all these reasons, this necklace, like most of my jewellery, has become particularly meaningful to me."

"This was recently gifted to me by our beautiful Lilly. I wanted to include it because it’s such a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. To me it’s a reminder of the intention put behind every step, and the value of genuine human connection in such a digital world, and really, the art of noticing. I had only briefly mentioned to her that I’d been looking for something like it, and she remembered, then surprised me with it the next time we met. That simple act of listening and remembering meant so much to me."

"My boyfriend went for road trip with his dad for like 2 or 3 weeks last year and they went to this beautiful beach where there's a bunch of beautiful shells around, and he just picked one of the shell and gave it to me when he came back from the trip. It became sentimental for me because that’s what we always do whenever we go to the beach ~ we always walk along the beach and look for shells and talk about the shape and colour, etc.

It's just beautiful to be remembered by small thing like this... it’s a reminder that I am loved."

"My keepsake is a green peridot gemstone. It was originally a pendant, but I lost the chain. Peridot is the birthstone for August, which is my birth month. Back during COVID and everything, I felt like I needed something that could give me a little sense of positivity and spiritual comfort to hold onto. And it's been with me ever since."

"The pearl bracelet is from my cousin, she gave it to me when she came to Bali to visit me. The pearls are from our hometown in the Moluccas, which makes it even more special to me. After she went home, she went through a very difficult time with her mental health for few years, but she sought help and now recovering and doing much better. Everytime i wear it, it reminds me of her strength."
