The Case For Modern Day Amulets

Call us superstitious, but in such anxious times the ancient idea of talismen and amulets’ protective power has never been more comforting. The NHS rainbow was the start, a heartfelt statement made optimistic in brightly twinkling gems. There is also a need to affirm close ties through very personal, often bespoke pieces that say far more than words. People have had time to think and reset priorities, reflecting a contemplative mood already in the air before the pandemic. Jewellery has changed, and it means more than ever.
