About The Token Collection

Atlas ‘Tokens’ are a wonderful connection to our aspirations.  Carefully selected stones represent a different aspiration we carry for ourselves and wish for others.  This Atlas ‘Token’ uses jade, a stone that provides and connects the wearer to prosperity and abundance that surrounds us.  A high-prized stone, used since ancient times, for ceremonial and emotional objects and icons. 

The Australian kangaroo leather we source is not farmed but harvested in the wild from a large, self-replenishing population.  This is strictly controlled by the Australian government.

Recycled sterling silver promotes equanimity through emotional balance and healing.

Timeless Bonds:  The Story Behind Friendship Bracelets

At the core of our being, the yearning for authentic social bonds is hard wired in our psyche because it enriches our lives in ways more profound than often acknowledged.

Whether it's a friendship bracelet, commitment bracelet or a love bracelet, these simple yet elegant pieces of jewellery carry profound significance. They are more than just accessories; a beloved symbol of connection and positive touchstone that continually remind us of the power of human relationships. Each bracelet is imbued with the shared history and personal stories of that bond. 

"Communication is merely an exchange of information, but connection is an exchange of our humanity."  - Sean Stephenson

The craft of making friendship bracelets is believed to have originated with the Mayan and Central American Indian tribes. They were intricate designs made using a technique involving knotting rather than weaving or knitting. Knots are a visual symbol of the unbreakable connection shared between two people, the memories they have created, and the stories they will tell.

Jewellery has always been more than mere adornment. It is a bearer of emotions, of memories, and of meaningful connections. When gifted, a piece of jewellery becomes a token of appreciation, love, and care as well as a reminder of shared values, beliefs and emotions.

“Jewellery has the remarkable ability to evoke emotions and create unforgettable memories.” – Paloma Picasso
