CHAPTER I
THE PENDULUM VESSELS
A modern reliquary: for a wish, a scent, or a spark of magic.
Part jewelry, part secret.
MADE TO OPEN
Opening is a small, deliberate act.
The mechanism is 18k gold through and through, down to the button. Press it in, give it a quarter turn, and lift the top. A chain inside keeps the top with the vessel, so it is never set down or lost. Close it with the same turn and it locks secure.
for intention and memory
A SCULPTURAL LOCKET
A locket, to begin with. Then nothing like one. Each vessel is sculpted in the round and moves with you, a small pendulum made to be worn and touched often. Symbols and incantations mark the surfaces, visual spells drawn in line, scale, and repetition: each vessel a cosmology of its own. Inside, a chamber for what you choose to keep.
The idea is older than it looks. Centuries ago, vinaigrette jewelry held scent against the body. The vessels carry that lineage forward: each one opens to a chamber for a drop of perfume, a folded wish, a token that means more than it weighs.
The Wishkeeper
Every vessel here keeps a secret except this one. Pierced with plus signs in the old vinaigrette manner, The Wishkeeper carries what you want more of in open air. A wish has to breathe to come true.
The Love Spell
Hand-drawn symbols of desire in burgundy enamel, champagne diamonds worked through the gold.
Cast your spell
Ask Me Anything
A line of diamonds curves into a question. For what you would ask if you trusted the answer.
Ask me anything
The Aeon
A diamond serpent circles the vessel. Aeon is the old word for the vital force that moves through an age of a life.
Begin your era
So Mote It Be
The old sealing words spiral the gold: so it shall be. Other vessels hold the wish. This one holds the sealing of it.
Seal your intention
WHAT TO PLACE INSIDE
You might tuck in a scented cloth or a drop of perfume oil, a tiny token or a folded keepsake, or a handwritten wish or blessing. A spark, a spell, your tiniest treasures. What it holds is yours alone.
the Coeli chains
MADE FOR THE PENDULUMS
The Coeli chains wear the vessels high, long, or as a lariat: the Coeli Necklace with a receiving point at its center, and the Coeli Chain, in three lengths, that opens at both ends. The clips connect a vessel to a chain: to the center of the Coeli Necklace, or into the ends of the Coeli Chain, which take a vessel directly as well. The enamel clip, the largest of the three, joins a vessel into the Coeli Chain. Everything works with everything else.

Hold your vision close to your heart — this necklace is made for magic. Four star-set white diamonds illuminate the brushed-gold surface of the balanced pendulum, their points aligned like a constellation. Worn close, it becomes a talisman of focus and clarity, moving with the wearer and catching light with every turn.
