At Feelings In Archive, the real story begins long before you hold a piece in your hands. It starts with a concept, a story, an idea—and then turns into something tangible through a careful and deliberate process. It’s this journey of craftsmanship that makes every piece feel like it has a life of its own.
The Beginning: Inspiration and Ideas
Every collection I create starts with something meaningful. For me, design is about more than just shapes or trends; it’s about why a piece matters. It could be something as simple as a memory, a moment, or an idea that’s always lingered with me. The Passport Pendant, for example, was born out of a desire to capture identity and the importance of belonging.
Once I have that spark of inspiration, it’s all about translating it into something that speaks visually. I sketch, I play with ideas, and I let the story guide the design. It’s rough at first, but I believe in the process—let the initial ideas breathe, even if they’re imperfect.
Design to Creation: Bringing the Vision to Life
Once the concept is clear, I work closely with our artisans to bring it into the physical world. This isn’t a rush job. We’re talking about intricate details, careful crafting, and sometimes a lot of trial and error. For pieces like the Roots Women’s Chain, combining white gold and yellow gold to create that seamless contrast isn’t easy—but it’s that attention to detail that makes it feel special.
We blend traditional techniques with more modern methods, which results in a process that’s both precise and flexible. Whether it’s hand-forging a chain or casting a piece, every step is done with the utmost care and patience.
The Craftsmanship: Precision in Every Detail
The real magic happens when the piece begins to take shape. This is where the artistry shines—when the design starts to feel like something real. Every stone, every curve, every polished surface is meticulously considered. Nothing is left to chance.
For me, craftsmanship isn’t just about creating something beautiful; it’s about creating something that feels right. The Passport Pendant, for example, requires perfect engraving. It’s a delicate process, but it’s what gives the piece meaning and makes it personal.
The Final Step: Ready to Tell Its Story
Once the piece is complete, we don’t just throw it in a box and send it off. Every single item is carefully packaged, because the experience matters. When you get something from Feelings In Archive, it’s not just about the jewelry itself—it’s about the whole story. From the moment the piece is designed, to the moment it’s in your hands, there’s a narrative behind it.
At the end of the day, what matters most is this: each piece carries with it the time, care, and love that went into creating it. And I hope that when you wear something from Feelings In Archive, it feels like it was meant just for you.
