 Like the earrings you bought for your first job interview, or the bracelet you splurged on during your last vacation, nearly every piece in your jewelry collection is tagged with a special memory. The new Gallery jewelry line from Kailua artist Maya von Geldern lets wearers forge a more visible link to those personal moments. Each necklace, bracelet and earring features a frame-shaped charm showcasing a tiny photo or artistic print. Choose a meaningful image (perhaps a Buddha or an angel?), one that evokes a strong memory (a crashing wave or a flower), or one that’s just plain pretty. Or, for a modern twist on the old-fashioned locket, von Geldern will customize a piece for you using a photo or art image from your own collection. Newly returned to Hawaii after three years on Italy ’s Mediterranean coast, von Geldern inlays each image into the mini-frames by hand, one by one, and incorporates them into her designs along with beads and other charms. Each piece is completely one of a kind, and lets you sport a mini-gallery of memories, favorite places or faraway friends you want to keep close. Finally, proof that you do lead a charmed life.
