The Return of a Classic
Running a dynamic, independent jewelry studio has us constantly moving—and while the work of designing and crafting fine jewelry is difficult enough, there's honestly so much more to it. It’s about staying nimble through shifting economies, navigating a recession and pivoting through a pandemic, while continuing to show up with steadiness and care. It’s mentoring a team, creating a workplace that fosters growth and skill-building. It's tending clients and holding space for joy and grief, often in the same afternoon. It’s the deep labor of building and sustaining something small, real, and community-rooted, guided by compassion and a firm belief in the value of hard work. Twenty years ago we didn't truly understand any of this yet... We only knew we had to work. And we did.
So it’s not surprising that, when we paused at the start of 2025 to take a breath and reflect, we considered all the ground we’d covered—and then realized how, somewhere amidst all the grind, we had accidentally lost sight of a piece that once felt essential to our early identity. Our Love Coin pendant, first introduced in 2006, had quietly slipped out of production! Not because it wasn’t great, but because we were continuously growing and making space for what was next. Now, as we take stock of two decades of hard work, this design has come back into focus, and it feels like the right moment to bring it back.
20th Anniversary Re-release: The Love Coin in 18k yellow, rose & grey gold.
Originally created as an everyday essential, the Love Coin reissue remains a minimal, yet weighty pendant with an effortless vibe and a quiet meaning. The front a smooth, minimal medallion with a lively natural diamond. The reverse bearing the raised braille lettering “love”… a gentle reminder resting against your chest. We’ve taken the opportunity to update and refine some of the original details adding a polished bail, a brighter, lighter chain, a larger diamond, and a refreshed modern finish. It feels right to bring this one back.
"The Love Coin is a straightforward piece, and like all of our work, it's heartfelt and grounded in connection."

Special 20th Anniversary Pricing
We’re re-releasing the Love Coin in solid 18k yellow, rose, and grey gold. Each coin features a natural diamond weighing .06 carats and comes with a sparkling 18 inch diamond-cut cable chain. Designed by Jay and hand finished by Kenny. These coins would normally list for $2500 but are being offered with a Special Anniversary Price of $1950.
The Love Coin is meant to be a worn — it's a personal and endlessly versatile vibe. Pair it with a cashmere sweater and one of our pretty Beau necklaces for contrast. Or layer it up with a sweatshirt and some chunky chains for a more maximalist approach. A plain white tee and a baseball cap? Play ball!
"It feels right to bring this one back."
