Hi!

 

I'm Regina. As a graphic designer­­ and avid reader, I’ve always loved the power of typography and words to move, motivate, uplift, empower and comfort. As an artist, I’ve transferred this passion into wearable art that functions as a daily reminder, affirmation, mantra, or source of inspiration that is unique to the wearer.

Sometimes you need a special gift to express what your heart wants to say

I love the idea of wearing a meaningful phrase but wanted to create a more grown-up, stylish and sophisticated version of those fun little word bracelets made from plastic white beads--something with higher quality materials and elevated words and phrases. That’s why I created Higher Calling Bracelets, where I create message/word/phrase bracelets in all sterling silver (14K gold-filled accents available) and authentic gemstones. Each bracelet is hand strung and assembled. This is an important part of the process, because with every bead, I add pure presence, joy, and the intention to circle your wrist with love.

Our Mission

Our mission is to extend love and hugs through our thoughtfully crafted pieces. The care continues through each detail of our packaging, providing additional delight and meaning from the making to the delivery of our pieces.

I aim to create meaningful, empowering, supportive and loving reminder messages to carry close all day long. Our word bracelets act as an embrace* from me to you and/or your gift recipient. My hope and vision is that by creating tactile words of affirmation, hope, encouragement, support and/or love, the energy behind the words will be reinforced and internalized, much like a mantra, but in an ever-present, visual and beautifully executed physical form.

From us to you, from you to them

For many of life's special milestones and challenging times, the right words don't always come easily, but a sentiment embedded in a thoughtful, high quality bracelet can serve as a profound, lasting and daily source of inspiration and comfort.

Getting Personal

So, which bracelets circle my own wrists 24/7 without ever being removed? On my left arm I wear a long sterling silver wrap necklace/bracelet with tiny crescent moon and star charms that reads, "None of it was Real, None of it was True." On my right arm, I wear two sterling silver and blue lapis and kyanite bracelets. One reads: TRUE BLUE, and the other reads INDIGO IS LOVE, with two Japanese Kanji symbols that mean "ai," which translates to both love and indigo. These constant companions mean everything to me!


*Did you know that the word embrace comes from the French word embrasser, meaning to clasp in the arms, stemming from the Latin word brachium, which means "an arm, a forearm?"
