I’ll admit—I’m kind of a snob when it comes to jewelry. I’m always on the hunt for a high-end, high-quality piece that could sit in a Bergdorf Goodman display case and make my heart skip a beat. But here’s the twist: I’m also superstitious (as most writers are). I couldn’t tell you why, but for some reason, I equate jewelry—the baubles I wear on my body every day—with how things are going in my life. If things are looking up—if I have a great first date or I find $20 in a pair of jeans—I chalk it up to my jewelry. Conversely, when things are going downhill, I blame it on the necklace I started wearing three months ago. (Not to mention that I’m a sucker for any kind of healing crystal that promises to “bring luck” into my life.) So of course, I face the problem of finding a piece that ticks both boxes: luxurious and spiritually meaningful. Most of the time, it’s either too woo-woo or not quite Bergdorf-worthy.
Enter: The Element Pendant from High Light Rituals. From the moment I saw it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It has everything: impeccable craftsmanship (handcrafted from 14-karat solid gold), ethically sourced diamonds that feel as timeless as they are chic and a spiritual backstory that adds an extra layer of intention. Inspired by the elements—fire, water, earth, spirit and wind—its egg-shaped charm and star-diamond design don’t just look stunning; they encourage transformation, renewal and maybe even a little universal alignment (instant win if you’re into that kind of thing, like me).
