Three of a Kind: Spirited Away
Jewelry has long served as a form of symbolic protection—but during the pandemic, its reputation as a talisman only grew. That’s when demand for jewels bearing spiritual motifs—including traditional symbols of protection such as hamsas, evil eyes and crosses, as well as mandalas and other elements of Eastern philosophy—exploded, with designers heeding the call for amulets and charms imbued with spiritual meaning. Now that festival season is upon us, these bohemian-inspired accessories may not fulfill quite the same urgent need for armor, but they’ll sure look the part.
