ARMOUR = AMOUR

‘I have always referred to my designs as armour. This armour is a form of protection, but not so much against danger, but the Protection (and also preservation) of your self love and true essence’ - Grace

Burnt out from her styling and vintage clothing business, Grace was aware that she wasn’t aligned with her heart, so she decided to take some time out and reconnect with herself.

Having grown up collecting talismans, and receiving them from family members at important moments in her life as sources of good luck, powerful energy and protection, Grace turned her head to jewellery to find that realignment with her heart. Jewellery are wearable talismans, talismans that can be worn close to our hearts. Having collected them since she was young, it was time to start making her own talismans that she could wear as protective charms, to protect her heart, her own sense of self-love and true essence. This was the ultimate reconnection and realignment. 

It was at this moment that Grace fforde began her own brand. To share these talismans with whoever they connected with. In wearing them, they offer the power to protect and preserve one’s self love, one’s true essence, and most importantly the connection to one’s own heart.
