Bated Breath

To the moments in between.

Bated Breath is jewelry shaped by the cycles of connection. This drop explores the liminal spaces of intimacy: anticipation, resilience, access, protection, and pleasure.

Named for the expression that evokes people holding their breath in excitement or fear as they wait to see what happens next, Bated Breath reflects the tension between longing and arrival—those charged, invisible threads that stretch across emotional distance.

Each piece in the collection becomes a symbolic artifact—tethered to emotion, story, and sentimentality. Bated Breath honors the unspoken, the almost, the not-yet—the moments in between.

Charms like locks, keys, hearts, sacred hearts, and pomegranates echo devotion, temptation, and secrecy. Materials such as Murano millefiori glass, freshwater pearls, vintage brass, and gold-fill chain were selected for their tactile delicacy and narrative resonance. Beads and chain links stand in for relational bonds—fragile, fixed, and sometimes fraying.
