The Meridian Collection
The Meridian Collection
- Luminous heritage and sculptural form
This collection is a reflection of the landscapes that have left a mark on me. I’ve always been drawn to the unique blend of European precision and African soul, and I wanted to capture that "Meridian" point where they meet. This inaugural line is a deliberate exploration of geographic tension, where the vibrant symmetry of ancient architecture meets the untamed beauty of the natural world.
The Meridian Collection draws its chromatic soul from the convergence of the Mediterranean and the high desert. The luminous lapis and jade of deep coastal waters contrasted against the vibrant ochres and sun-scorched crimsons of the interior landscape. Accented with warm gold-filled elements and the earth-born tones of the desert, each piece is a tonal map of a world shaped by light and heat.
At the heart of this collection is a key structural detail: The Globe. Engineered to provide a three-dimensional cadence to each strand, this element introduces a rhythmic texture and a substantial, vintage weight to the jewelry. The Globe serves as a sculptural anchor, transforming traditional strands into architectural artifacts that catch the light from every angle.
This collection utilizes an array of Austrian matte crystal pearls, curated for their unique, light-absorbing finish. Unlike traditional pearls, these matte surfaces offer a subdued, modern depth that contrasts beautifully with the prismatic clarity of glass and the radiant warmth of gold-filled accents. This balance of matte and luster creates a sophisticated, multi-dimensional glow.
Because this was my first collection, I felt a deep responsibility to make sure each piece was as unique as the person wearing it. I wanted to create something that felt familiar yet entirely new. That is why I have committed to making only one iteration of each design in every colorway. I wanted my work to have a physical presence—a weight and a texture that you could feel.
When you wear a piece from the Meridian Collection, you are wearing a singular artifact of my journey as a maker—a balance of strong, geometric lines and the vibrant, luminous history that inspired them. I want these pieces to make you feel as commanding and empowered as I felt the moment I finished my very first strand.
