AMULETS AND ALCHEMY

The Amulets and Alchemy print is adorned with evil eye talismans, protective charms and gold-trimmed stones—imbuing the midnight canvas with spiritual depth and symbolic beauty. Gold chains, gemstone embellishments, and ornate textures are carefully woven into necklines and borders. The result is richly layered black and gold dresses, separates and accessories.

“An ode to the art of adornment. To the jewels that become our artisanal artillery. Each gilded chain and sacred symbol is sheer sorcery: sun, moon and stars… wild cat totems and the ever-watchful eye. It’s alchemy. Channeling the power of my amulets, I am stronger, brighter, unshakeable, ready to embrace kismet or happenstance, with fortune at my fingertips and luck leading the way.”

—Founder and Creative Director, Camilla Franks
