Los Angeles, California, 2008
Jewelry designer Catherine Michiels debuts the new ‘Amulet’ series as an addition to her Recognition collection. The first two pieces to be unveiled are the Zinnia and La Manouche. Amulet is defined as an object that protects one from trouble.
The Zinnia is a flower known to attract butterflies, which are seen as the personification of a person’s soul. With “Love Absent Friends” inscribed on the reverse side, the Zinnia serves to remind us of those who mean so much but, because of time and distance, do not inhabit our daily lives.
La Manouche (the Gypsy) is a reminder to live fearlessly. The branch and cone are from the pine tree which is evergreen and immune to the change of seasons as we need to be immune from all that life can put in our path. The engraving on the reverse side reads, “Fearless”.
“I wear mine next to my watch,” Catherine explains. “When time demands my attention, I am also reminded of what is really important in my life.”
These amulets are designed by Catherine to be worn together on the same silk tie as a bracelet or necklace. Their unique shape allows them to fit together as if they were one piece.
