The Story Behind the Collection

The collection’s signature motif—the Mother Chain—is a tribute to the precious connection between a mother and child. It’s a reimagination of an heirloom passed down to founder Rachel Bu from her mother, who was pregnant when she acquired a golden chain at a traditional jewelry store in China just days away from her due date.

“I've always admired my strong inclination toward adventure and curiosity. Since becoming a mother, I've noticed these traits have evolved and intensified in a most positive way. Children inherently possess these traits. As a mother, I’m encouraged to cultivate my own curiosity alongside theirs. When we view the world through their perspective, its wonder and magnificence resonate with renewed vigor.” —Rachel Bu
