The Seven Sisters Collection

A story of sisterhood, symbolism, and stars

This collection began with a request, followed by a moment that felt unmistakably aligned.

Cathy came to me looking for something deeply specific: a set of bracelets for her sisters, for Christmas. Not necessarily matching, but connected. Something that would hold a common thread between them, while still allowing each piece to be unique to the woman who would wear it.

Soon after that conversation, a story surfaced in my social media feed about the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, and the moon passing through the constellation. My entire body filled with goosebumps. Something clicked immediately. The symbolism was too aligned to ignore - the Seven Sisters constellation would guide these creations.

With that direction in place, I researched the meaning and mythology behind each star and shared those insights with Cathy. She then brought those stories to her family, who thoughtfully aligned each star with one of the sisters. From there, the gemstones were chosen to reflect both the star and the woman it represented.

Each bracelet in the Seven Sisters Collection carries the essence of one of the stars of the Pleiades: Alcyone, Maia, Electra, Taygete, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope.

Just as the stars shine together across the night sky, the bracelets are bound by shared elements that unite their energy and story. Every piece begins with a base of black obsidian, chosen for its grounding properties of truth, protection, and transformation. It anchors their light and symbolizes the unbreakable bond of sisterhood, strong, rooted, and enduring.

At the heart of each bracelet rests a moonstone center bead, a raediant symbol of divine feminine energy. As the moon passes through the Seven Sisters during the celestial event that first caught my attention, it felt essential to honor both that moment and the energy the moon represents. Moonstone became the thread that ties them all together, reflecting intuition, cycles, and the ever-changing light within. It speaks to the balance between strength and softness, action and reflection, giving and receiving.

On either side of the moonstone, I placed gemstones that symbolized each sister’s assigned star, chosen not only for meaning, but for balance and aesthetic harmony within the bracelet.

Though each bracelet carries its own constellation of gemstones and story, they all share the same lineage, a narrative written in the stars, grounded in the earth, and illuminated by the moon.

One bracelet, however, was designed differently.

For Cathy, who brought the vision forward, her piece needed to hold the entire constellation. Alongside her moonstone and star-aligned stones, I placed three stones to the left representing each sister, and three to the right. Her bracelet carries all seven stars. All seven bonds.

It holds everyone.

This collection was never about selling; it was about translation. Taking connection, family, timing, and story, and giving them physical form. It was about listening closely, trusting the process, and allowing meaning to lead design rather than the other way around.

Now that each bracelet has found its way home, the constellation feels complete.

Thank you, Cathy, for trusting me with this story, your sisters, and the space to create something that could hold them all.

Made with meaning. Gifted with love. Worn with belonging.

Some constellations are written in the sky. Others are held.
