Symbols are commonly found in jewelry, but this year we’re looking for more explicit communication. And designers seem to be meeting this need: Foundrae, Renato Cipullo and Marie Lichtenberg all have pieces that spell out words, phrases or sayings. Say what you mean with this wordy trend in our edit below.

Discover our BE staff favorites of this jewelry box staple in our edit below.

Best of: Protect Yourself
As we ease into the new year, we could all use a little more spiritual protection. At BE we are no strangers to symbols that ward off evil and we’re thrilled to share some of our favorites. Discover your newest talisman amongst our latest collection of symbolic protection pieces.
