Your Jewelry Can be a Guide: Discovering Your Personal Talisman

When I first began creating this jewelry, I was searching for a guide of my own—something to steady me in an emotionally tumultuous time.

There was one die I kept returning to. Her name was Irene.
Her Art Nouveau face was serene and composed, though her hair swirled wildly around her calm features. I wanted to be her—peaceful and centered in the midst of chaos. Unbothered by my circumstances. Rooted in my own calm.

So Irene became my talisman for a year. I wore her or carried her everywhere.
And it worked. She reminded me, again and again, to make choices that created internal stillness I could call on in moments of confusion. She helped me find my center. My peace deepened.

And I began to notice how many others were looking for the same thing—not just an accessory, but a connection. A symbol to hold close when life felt uncertain.

The Phoenix Silver Talisman Discovery Session was born from that realization, and from my own phoenix moment of renewal and reinvention.

During your session (30–45 minutes, in person or by video), we’ll explore what feels most present in your life right now. Through guided questions, we draw out the themes, elements, and stories that shape your season. From there, we match your story and energy to metals, stones, and symbols.

Silver for clarity and reflection.
Brass for warmth and confidence.
Copper for healing and balance.
Stones for courage, cycles, and protection.
Symbols that speak to who you are becoming—ancient emblems of love, strength, self-compassion, and fearlessness. Symbols and stones for seeing, listening, voicing. For luck, integrity, and motivation.

These come from familiar cultures and from times and places we may never have known, yet they all speak to the same universal desires—to be seen, to be protected, to be connected.

Each talisman becomes a deeply personal guide. A piece that carries intention and emotion, reminding you of your truest desires—and where they can take you, if you let them.

Each talisman I create begins with a story. Yours will, too.

If you’re feeling a pull toward clarity, renewal, or inspiration, your guide might be waiting in metal and stone. The Talisman Discovery Session is where we uncover it together—your symbols, your elements, your next step forward.

Book your session here and let’s begin bringing your story to life, one element at a time.
