Hidden intention lockets for deeply personal symbolism.
Founded by Bernard Smith in New York, Vision of Self is a novel jewelry brand that helps you manifest your dreams. The brand's core concept revolves around intentional jewelry, featuring a signature barrel locket that serves as a sacred chamber for personal, handwritten notes. These notes act as constant reminders, fostering a profound, tangible and enduring connection to one’s goals. Carry your dreams wherever you go with Vision of Self.
Vision of Self has one of the most intimate concepts in this entire group. The important part of the jewel is not what everyone else sees, but the private handwritten intention concealed inside it. We love that because jewelry has carried hidden messages, protection and memory for thousands of years. This simply translates that instinct into a modern object. Nothing needs to be explained at dinner. Nobody needs to recognise the symbolism. The wearer knows what is inside, and that is enough. Some of the most powerful jewelry has always been private.
Jewelry alone doesn’t hold much power, until it’s given meaning.
