In the 1800s, people said in jewelry what they could not say aloud. They engraved coins with names, dates, images and secret messages — love tokens, each one commissioned for one person, once. Together they record an era - a century of love in its many forms, preserved coin by coin.

Our archive holds more than 5,000 of them, collected over the last ten years. We restore them, catalog them and — together with you — set them into heirlooms that carry the old story forward and begin yours. The meaning of a love token is always in the eye of the beholder.

And where the antique record runs out, we invent: a twice-patented combination lock that opens only on its hidden word, and zodiac pendants drawn from the storytelling ironwork of New Orleans. The same language, new sentences.

These are the stories we tell. Let's tell yours.
