A Real Success Story: The "Hug Stone" Journey

Let me share how this works in practice. Recently, I had a fun Zoom call with a client seeking the perfect birthday gift for his partner. Being clearly smitten by her dynamic qualities, he wanted a necklace that honored her “artful spirit, fierce kindness, and natural beauty.” He kept returning to two words: “hug” and “heart.”

This led us to explore pieces by one of our brilliant designers, Debra Navarro, whose work is inspired by the artisans and miners of East Africa. We narrowed it down to two options - one with pink spinel, another with pink tourmaline.

The story behind the Hug Stone: from ethically sourced pink tourmaline to finished necklace design by Debra Navarro

I suggested he sleep on the decision, and in the middle of the night, his vision became clear: the tourmaline looked like a heart, hugged in place by prongs... a “hug stone”! 

What happened next demonstrates the joy of getting it exactly right:

“The cat’s out of the bag. She knows... I caved.” he messaged me, too excited to keep his surprise.

The results? Pure joy from both sides:

FROM HIM: “Victoria loves it! Thank you! She’s a big reader so she’s already going through the book.”

FROM HER: “I’m going to lunch with my best friend and showing off my necklace. It feels really good!”
