Greetings, collectors of refined taste and boundless curiosity! I craft one-of-a-kind adornments for both the person and the home, weaving together elements sourced from across the globe and spanning different periods of history. As a devoted student of archaeology and a resident of NYC for eighteen trips around the sun, I am endlessly inspired by the vibrant tapestry of culture that shapes our world. Each of my designs is created to inspire joy, spark curiosity, and evoke a sense of magic.

With a history spanning thousands of years, talismans are mystical objects of protection often worn to repel evil and attract good fortune across cultures. Coins, in particular, have held ritualistic significance, serving many purposes such as anointing ships, blessing marriages, and offering safety on the battlefield. Other materials, including gemstones, decorative metal charms, and remnants like bones, shells, are also commonly used.

In the grand scale of time, both human life and material culture are fleeting. Objects from another era, once functional or symbolic, now serve as windows into the past. Their meanings shift with the viewer’s perspective across cultures and eras—what was once seen as currency, art, or a good luck charm may now be regarded as mere junk. The interpretation of the past belongs to the living and our only certainty is that we belong to the stars.

Sincerely,

Your Ephemerist
