I describe the FoundRae collection as tools of self-discovery and self-expression. I like to think that it’s more than jewelry, that each piece is a modern heirloom, one that allows the wearer to express something of one’s self to the world and to unfold further into the person that we were meant to be. We believe that every one of us has the ability to gather the collective wisdom that is available to us as well as to gather wisdom from the personal journeys we take, and to use that knowledge to become braver, bolder, and whole. FoundRae is a reminder, one we wear against our hearts or on our hands, of our capacity for change and growth. Our greatest inheritance is our birthright to reach our full potential.

From light comes life. We are born with given and inherited qualities, predispositions and histories depending on where, when and from whom we are born, and on where, when and with whom we are raised, that inuence how we connect with the world and shape our character. The four classical elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water are the building blocks of all living matter, including us, and impart qualities to us as described by our astrological charts. Our genetic makeup, our given names, our family names, our culture, and everything we inherited from our ancestors give us a particular view of the world. I think it’s important to explore all of these attributes to get insight into your natural tendencies and then to understand how they inuence your relationships with those that are closest to you. Insight is the key to achieving balance and allows us to grow more fully into ourselves. Yet, what you are born with does not dene who you will be...We gather insight and wisdom through experience, consciously choosing our formal and informal sources of education. Too often, we do not actively cultivate the deep well of the subconscious. The symbols of our lexicon lie inside us, waiting to be excavated from the recesses of our minds. Symbols are a visual, universal language that we inherit from our ancestors and evoke primal responses. These gures and designs give us a language for our experiences, much as alphabets do for written thought. Symbols help us express ourselves by sharing inspiration and ideas and call forth what we already know deep inside, so that our conscious and subconscious can become aligned.And with that alignment, we develop our Tenets — our beliefs. These beliefs are spiritual cornerstones that dene us and inspire our next chapter. Our Tenets remind us that we can always choose, can always change: we each have free will and agency over our lives. We can choose what and when to dream, whom we love, and what sustains us through dicult moments. The Tenets we hold dear are a reection of both our strengths and opportunities for growth. They embody the core values that we must put energy into every day to make them a bigger part of our lives. We need reminders—little signposts in front of us to keep them in our sights. There are dierent points in our lives when a Tenet is particularly important to guide us in becoming who we’re really meant to be. We have to begin somewhere. Find your starting point.At our core is the single element that we all share; our inner light - the golden thread that binds us. Our “oneness” is at the center of all things; the key. It is the divine in all of us and a symbol of our solidarity. I refer to that oneness as “Light” or “Aether”, but it’s known by so many names—chi, the divine, or God. We can listen and allow a voice for all beliefs and all experiences and engender harmony with compassion. We can embolden ourselves and better the world with the knowledge that we each have the light within; our purpose is to expand it.SYMBOLS & TENETSRemind, Reinforce, and Amplify our Self-Agency and Free WillFOUNDATIONAL KEYSProvide Insight to Given and Inherited Qualities

When you put everything together, the final piece becomes your story. Each compilation demonstrates depth, self-knowledge, your willingness to continue to grow, to dream, and to love. And I believe that it’s the process that enriches, the time spent in introspection. When people stop to consider their story, they are more motivated to find what speaks to their heart and what fulfills them; to align better with their life purpose. Your story evolves with you.

And I believe that it’s the process that enriches, the time spent in introspection. When people stop to consider their story, they are more motivated to find what speaks to their heart and what fulfills them; to align better with their life purpose. Your story evolves with you.
Define what’s important in your life and ask yourself whether you are living it. Each story is an opportunity to reach deeper into our souls and find meaningful inspiration for hope, faith, beauty, creation, and love. Each piece is a unique story that memorializes the experiences and values that build our lives and fill our hearts. This is why we refer to our jewelry as modern heirlooms. It’s the story that matters. The story is worth much more than the weight of the gold itself. Everything you want and everything you want to be is already inside of you.
