Folium\u2019s ode to snakes <\/strong><\/p>\n

Myles Ryan, master goldsmith and Founder of Folium, a fine jewellery brand in Northern California, presents Serpentis<\/a>, a contemporary homage to the serpent\u2019s enduring symbolic attributes: wisdom, resilience, and protection.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s inspiration comes from the ceremonial rattlesnake motifs of the American Southwest, which are wrought in gold and platinum. Hand-engraved scales ripple across each piece, creating a\u00a0 play of light and shadow, giving an impression of movement in precious metals.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a young boy in Northern California, I had a number of intense experiences with rattlesnakes,\u201d Myles shares. \u201cThis was not traumatic, but eye-opening to the power of the creature. It is very peaceful and unassuming, but ready to strike if challenged. This feeling of power and peace is what led to the Serpentis collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collection balances vintage references with bold, unconventional execution. \u201cThe form and style of the Serpentis pieces are a union of vintage design and the audacity to use them in unconventional ways,\u201d Ryan adds.<\/p>\n

Each jewel reflects Folium\u2019s dedication to traditional goldsmithing, where hand engraving brings depth, texture, and soul that cannot be replicated by modern shortcuts.<\/p>\n

Lionheart\u2019s \u201cBest Friend\u201d Dog Charms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dogs are the man\u2019s best friend and the US-based Lionheart<\/a>, the award-winning fine jewellery brand founded by sisters Joy and Sarah Haugaard, launched its \u201cBest Friend\u201d collection<\/a>, an assortment of handmade gold and diamond medallions featuring various breeds of dogs.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to Valentines Day, these cute medallion charms garnished with diamonds are crafted in either 14-karat- or 18-karat gold. The versatile charms can be worn as pendants paired with a chain of choice or as a charm bracelet or with a Lionheart signature gold chain.<\/p>\n

Starting from $7,450, these distinctive and expressive charms are available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have always been a dog lover,\u201d says Joy Haugaard, designer and co-founder of Lionheart. \u201cIn fact, I have three pups of my own \u2013 Columbo, Charlie, and Pacino \u2013 all Shih Tzus who are always the very best part of my day! I wanted to create a way for dog fans like me to wear their favourite breeds, honour their favorite pup, or even to commemorate the loss of a four-legged family member. Dogs give us so much love and joy. They ask so little in return. I want these charms to bring a smile or a loving memory to the faces of dog moms or dads for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
