Stories old, told anew.  

Throughout the ages, lovers have exchanged intimate, secret messages through the language of jewellery. As tokens of shared sentiment, our latest capsule of 10 one-of-a-kind heirloom designs, each have a story to tell.  

Designed as an opportunity to mark the next chapter in your story, or begin one anew. More Than Yesterday, is a celebration of the union of past and present and an invitation to forge your own legacy.  

We believe every piece of jewellery is a talisman for personal expression, honouring the ways in which our creations become conduits for connection. More Than Yesterday is full of meaning—with secret compartments, hidden engravings, and rich symbolism—designed to convey a story as unique as the wearer.

Here, we decode the significance of each design.  

“For, you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” 

Inspired by the 1889 poem “The Eternal Song” by Rosemonde Gérard, the hero piece from this collection uses a filigree-inspired gallery to reveal a secret message to the wearer.  

Filigree, a delicate and intricate metalwork technique, has been used in jewellery for centuries. Made by twisting fine threads of gold or silver into lace-like patterns, filigree creates ornate, airy designs that often carry hidden meanings.

An enchanting post-consumer Old Mine Cut Diamond represents ‘Yesterday’ having been given new life through this one-of-a-kind design.

Ruby, with its rich red hue, has long been a totem of love, passion, and power. Known as the ‘king of gemstones,’ it has been treasured across cultures for its deep, fiery colour, often associated with the heart.

In ancient times, rubies were believed to protect warriors in battle and ward off evil. But they also illustrated vitality and life force, making them popular in romantic jewellery as tokens of intense love and commitment.

Wrapping wire work, and small metal details paired with our Vieira Setting, a Natalie Marie Jewellery take on a vintage scalloped setting, this piece encourages us to think of all the elements involved in love, and act as a reminder of their importance as a whole.

In the Victorian era, jewellers saw an opportunity to hide symbolic motifs within their creations by using intricate wire work to create distinct patterns. These lace-like designs would feature in romantic rings, where hearts, flowers and other shapes often appeared.

The Key To My Heart ring features an old mine-cut pear diamond set within intricate wire work, representing the way a turning key unlocks a door, revealing what waits beyond.

During wartime, jewellery contained concealed messages or codes, sent to lovers as a romantic token. Our Forget Me Not ring features a hidden hinge detail, revealing a swallow in flight holding a Ceylon sapphire to represent a Forget-Me-Not flower. The intention is to convey the phrase, 'I am thinking of you until I return', a way to mark time until lovers are reunited.
