The Loquet Jewelry Company In London, shopping for media has made a playful experience. The starting point is a 14-carat gold and a clear sapphire crystalist, which can be filled with a random number of charms, from jewelry fruit to a Martini glass.
In search of a sentimental gift for his wife, Dillon Newell, a British businessman, recently brought their two young children to the Loquet store in London, where she chose a heart -shaped crystal medallion and three charmes, a rainbow and a heart. He added a charm of coffee cups to represent their mornings together.
“The children help to make this gift so much more meaningful,” Mr. Newell wrote in an e -mail. “My wife sees a small piece of all of us, and that is more special than the other that I could have given her.”
The founder of Loquet, Sheherazade Goldsmith, said: “There is something inherently playful about the small charms, it reminds you of all the beautiful, magical things in our youth.” Founded in 2013, the brand Charmes has in stock and a customized service that can make almost everything – recent committees have recorded a Diamond Pavé -Surfboard and a stethoscope (small gold media start at $ 1,200; Charms start at $ 40).
As much as the designs of media have changed, they are still usually given and worn in love.
That was the case for Kathryn Phillips, a business owner in Laguna Beach, California, who started collecting Mrs. Kosann’s medallion when her first grandchild was born 13 years ago.
She now has seven media, including one who was a gift from her husband in their 30 -year anniversary. It is engraved with the words “best blind date ever” and contains four images, one for each decade and one of their family.
“The medallion have much more meaning than just their material value,” said Mrs. Phillips.
And that impact is shared. Mrs. Kosann was moved herself when she described a medallion with her favorite Robert Frost poem from inside that her husband gave her about a year ago: “People wear compassion to tell their stories, to put their lives together and be reminded of What is the most important thing for them. “
