Behind the Couture | We Did It Ourselves

As evidenced by this little photo-montage, we’ve been having a lot of fun around the office playing with our new DIY Couture Yourself Charm Collection. We love that no two are alike, and that you can mix the old with the new. Here, the creators talk inspiration.

1. While The Notebook is certainly not in my top 10 list, this line is definitely a personal favorite. After all… ‘if you’re a bird, I’m a bird.’ —Erin Diamond

2. I threw in a funny turquoise skull to keep all the love and peace symbols from getting too serious. —Lisa Germinsky

3. It’s all about luck and love. The ladybug and wishbone are lucky, the hummingbird is for peace and love, and the B is for my husband. —Jennifer Belfatto

4. Me and a palm tree. Need I say more? —Leslie Smith

5. I’m loving the 70s glam references inspired by my favorite gypsy—Stevie Nicks, of course. The crystal rock charm, Juicy pave feather, and vintage engraved coin, along with my initial H all have personal meaning. —Hillary Bott

6. I love that collectively, it’s unique! —Lynn Reed

Behind the Couture | Our Favorite Fonts

In celebration of our new DIY Couture Yourself Charm collection, we asked our creative services team to share their favorite fonts. And, if we do say so ourselves, we think their individual tastes look quite lovely together.

Cleverly designed, each letter gets its own unique look and can be styled on chain, leather cord, mixed with your grandmother’s charms or paired with other modern talismans—really, it’s your call. So in that spirit we say, go on,  Do It Yourself!
