Some of the strongest inspiration behind my jewelry comes from the heroines I grew up reading about—complex, powerful, and unforgettable in their own ways. These characters weren’t just part of stories; they shaped how I understood courage, identity, and resilience.
I was drawn to heroines who didn’t always fit a single mold. Queen Anne, as portrayed in Doomed Queen Anne, carried a quiet strength shaped by circumstance and expectation. Her story felt heavy with history, emotion, and the weight of a crown she didn’t fully choose. That sense of layered identity—of beauty intertwined with struggle—often finds its way into my designs through pieces that feel regal, but not untouched by hardship.
Then there’s Lisbeth Salander, whose strength is sharp, unconventional, and fiercely independent. She challenged what a heroine could look like. She wasn’t polished or traditionally soft—she was unapologetically herself. Jewelry inspired by that energy leans into contrast: bold details, darker tones, and an edge that feels protective, almost like armor.
Luna Lovegood brought something entirely different. She reminded me that there is power in gentleness, in curiosity, and in embracing what makes you different. There’s a kind of magic in her perspective—one that feels soft, luminous, and otherworldly. Pieces inspired by that spirit often feel lighter, more ethereal, like they belong to a dream.
And Rosemarie Hathaway embodied fierce loyalty and emotional strength. She was bold, protective, and unafraid to fight for the people she loved. That intensity translates into designs that feel grounded and strong, meant to be worn with confidence and intention.
These heroines didn’t just influence my aesthetic—they influenced my life. Each one taught me something different about what it means to be strong. Through my jewelry, I try to capture those lessons and translate them into something tangible. Each piece becomes a small tribute to the many ways strength can exist—quiet or loud, soft or sharp, visible or hidden.
Because sometimes, wearing something inspired by these characters is a way of stepping into that strength yourself.
