The Story Behind Globally Adorned

For three decades, my work in global health carried me across the world—from the bustling streets of Phnom Penh to the storied Citadel of Erbil, Iraq, to the vibrant markets of Mumbai, to the coastal beauty of Sri Lanka. While my mission was always to serve communities in need, I found myself captivated by something unexpected: the jewelry.

These weren't just beautiful objects—they were stories. Stories of place, of tradition, of the hands that shaped them.

Each piece I created became a memory—a reminder of a place, a person, a moment that moved me.

Each piece is made with solid gold, never gold plated or filled, handcrafted with care and intention.

VISION

   Each piece we create honors the artisans who taught us that true luxury lies not in perfection, but in the story, the hand, the heart behind the work.

Each piece is a memory made tangible.

In every place I worked, I was drawn to the local markets where artisans displayed their craft. I watched goldsmiths in Cambodia hammer intricate patterns into metal at the Central Market. I admired the way Indian jewelers set locally mined stones with techniques passed down through generations. I marveled at the ancient metalworking traditions that still thrived in Iraqi bazaars.

Slowly, I began to learn. I learned to work with gold and stone, to understand the character of different materials, to appreciate the patience required to create something truly beautiful. I started making my own pieces, blending the techniques I'd learned across continents, creating designs that honored the places and people who had taught me.

Now, after 30 years of this journey, I'm bringing these creations to you. Every piece in this collection is handmade, drawing inspiration from the markets and artisans who shaped my understanding of craft and beauty. These aren't mass-produced replicas—they're unique pieces that carry the spirit of the places that inspired them.

When you wear one of these pieces, you're not just wearing jewelry. You're carrying a fragment of the world with you—the warmth of a Cambodian marketplace, the sparkle of a Sri Lankan gemstone, the timeless elegance of traditional craftsmanship.

Thank you for allowing me to share these treasures with you.

Lab-created diamonds offer a brilliant, ethical alternative to mined stones. These stunning gems are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds, with the same sparkle and durability, but come without the environmental and social concerns associated with traditional mining.
