Collection: Vulnerability Shields

During our life, we all experience varying degrees of disappointment and rejection. We learn to camouflage and hide ourselves, in the hope that this will protect us from judgment, rejection, and failure. As we grow older, we realize that these very shields, once thought to be our protectors, have become towering walls, barricading us from the being seen and known by others. We realize that we need to put these shields down.

This requires a lot of courage, and that is where my new collection, Vulnerability Shields, comes in. Each of the 7 pieces in this collection represents a common practice we use in order to try and avoid vulnerability.

With this collection I want to invite you to think about the shields that you are currently carrying. I hope that you choose to let go of the heaviest shield you’re carrying and exchange it for a piece of jewelry.
