Mala - from the Sanskrit meaning garland or string of beads - has been used for centuries as a tool for meditation, prayer, and intention. A way of counting breath, one bead at a time.

That sense of rhythm is what inspired this collection.

Working with beads has always felt meditative to me…repetitive, grounding, quietly absorbing. I hope wearing these pieces offers something of that same ease.

There’s something essential about the shape itself: the circle. No sharp edges, no fixed beginning or end - just continuity. The circle of a bead, the circle of a year, the way summer always finds its way back around. These pieces are built on that shape and everything it quietly holds.

Each necklace in MALA is one of a kind, and each carries the name of a place that marked a summer - a coastline, a desert sunset, somewhere that stayed with me long after I left. These are pieces shaped by memory, made to be worn, lived in, and carried with you long after the season ends....a little keepsake of summer.
