Jewellery, for many, is a form of memory-keeping, a way to immortalize a fleeting moment. A necklace can be so much more than an embellished chain you wear around your neck. It can carry deep meaning and strong sentimentality. Maybe it was passed down from a loving parent, or its a memento from a significant other living a continent away. Jewellery is simply elevated when it’s about storytelling. And these emerging brands are all about that last bit. Homegrown, and lovingly so, these brands should be on your radar.
