Wearable Memories: My Grandmother’s Charm Bracelets - The Inspiration Behind TRIT Jewelry

The start of TRIT Jewelry wasn't just a business venture; it was a heartfelt journey that began with two poignant sources of inspiration: the cherished jewelry of my grandmother and a deep desire to add more meaning into jewelry.

My grandmother's collection featured many beautiful pieces, but one in particular always stood out: a gorgeous gold charm bracelet. The bracelet was adorned with charms engraved with the names and birthdates of all her children and grandchildren, turning it into a wearable family tree. Each charm wasn't just a decorative piece; it was a marker of time, celebrating each family member's birth and, by extension, their life. Some charms were actual miniatures of the calendar with the month the child was born, and a birthstone marking the exact day.

This unique charm bracelet got me thinking about the potential of jewelry as a keeper of history—as vessels of personal milestones. It was then that I came up with the idea for TRIT - a brand that crafts jewelry with personal significance.

During my quest for the perfect eternity ring, I realized I wanted more than just a beautifully set series of stones of an unknown quantity. I wanted symbolism in each gem—a count that reflected a significant personal event. This led to my development of the TouchDate Technique, a cornerstone of TRIT that allows individuals to customize their jewelry with gems or bumps that signify the dates and numbers that hold special meaning to them.

TRIT is a portal to the past and a badge of one's personal journey. Whether it’s through celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or a personal triumph, each piece we create is designed to carry and showcase the narrative of its wearer.

I love asking people about the significance of the jewelry they wear. The most touching responses come from those who, with a gentle touch to their piece, recount the story of when and from whom they received it. It is this connection and sentimentality that TRIT aims to encapsulate in an even more tangible way, as the date of the event can be seen and felt by the wearer.
