About

Heavenly Vices is the fine jewelry collection of Samantha Jackson, a New Orleans native working in Atlanta. She grew up in a city where history is not kept in textbooks but lived every day, in the ironwork, the architecture, the food and the stories passed across the dinner table, and she came to jewelry the same way: as history you can hold, wear and hand down.

Heavenly Vices begins with the belief that jewelry should hold more than a momentous occasion. It should gather meaning through all the moments in between: the familiar gestures, private jokes, beloved rituals and ordinary days that quietly become the stories of a life.

At the heart of the collection is an extraordinary archive of approximately 5,000 Victorian love tokens—coins engraved by hand more than a century ago with initials, dates, images and private messages. Jackson restores and catalogs these one-of-a-kind artifacts, then works with each client to transform the chosen token into a deeply personal heirloom.

Where the antique record ends, Jackson continues the conversation through her original designs. Celestial Stories translates the storytelling ironwork of New Orleans into gemstone-set zodiac pendants, while the patented Lock Stories collection features fully functional combination locks that communicate through letters, Victorian symbols and Braille. Across every collection, recurring motifs, vivid gemstones and thoughtful details create a language that is unmistakably Heavenly Vices.

Whether preserving an antique or inventing something entirely new, Heavenly Vices approaches jewelry as a form of communication—an intimate expression of love, memory, identity and connection. Each piece is created to collect stories, become part of a family’s folklore and carry its meaning from one generation to the next.

Your first Heavenly Vices purchase is the first chapter of a lifetime of stories.

Heavenly Vices has been featured in Town & Country, Harper’s Bazaar, W, Veranda, Tatler, the Financial Times, The Sunday Times, Forbes, JCK and National Jeweler.
