Imperfect Solitaires is a series of three pendants that celebrate authenticity through the journey of transformation. Each piece is like a minimal reliquary - protecting and revealing at once - holding our fragile core at its center. The fissures within are not flaws, but openings where change begins: “Awakening”, “Unveiled”, and “Embrace” trace a path from rupture to acceptance. Carried close to the heart, they honour fragility not as failure, but as the sacred place where light enters and grace transforms. A decade of celebration deserves honesty: not the flawless, but the fearless — the joy of becoming whole through imperfection, with jewels that remind us that the cracks are where the real beauty begins.
