Symbols and gemstones connect Anna to her roots

Symbols and gemstones connect Anna to her roots

We met Anna for the first time when she joined our consumer panel. She moved our hearts when she told us how our jewelry helps her connect with her home and family in Ukraine while not being able to go back.   

While trying to build my own home in The Netherlands, the symbols and stones in the jewelry give me something to hold on to. The Ginkgo and Dragonfly symbols remind me of my connection with nature and with my grandmother who still lives in Ukraine. She lives in a beautiful place close to the mountains and sea. The close connection with nature taught me to see it as my best friend: the one who is always accepting you genuinely and gives me endless power and strength. With these symbols close by, I feel the connection with my family and all my beautiful memories.  

I used to play with my grandmother’s jewelry, which was such a treasure to me. My grandmother once received a beautiful piece of jewelry with moonstone from my grandfather. As a little girl I thought this stone really came from the moon. It was magic to me. Now, when I wear moonstone, I think of her and my grandfather’s love for her. 

“Such little reminders are bringing joy, lightness and protection.” 

 These small reminders bring me joy, comfort, and security. They feel like coming home to a light that is always on.  

The jewelry of A Beautiful Story attracted me when I first noticed the brand. It's really important to me that it is handmade, that this artisanship will remain and that there is so much good energy into making the jewelry."
