Some designs arrive fully formed. Others take the long road — shifting, changing, teaching us something along the way. The Fortune’s Turn Necklace was one of those slow-burning, worth-every-minute kinds of creations.
It began with the ancient symbol of the Wheel of Fortune — a motif found across eras and cultures, all pointing to the same idea: life moves in circles, not straight lines. There are highs, lows, pauses, restarts… and somehow, it all keeps turning.
We wanted to capture that motion — that sense of life nudging you forward even when you’re standing still.
The First Version - Perfection?
A perfect golden disc, a full circle without a single interruption. Beautiful, yes — but also a little too neat, too polished, too unlike the real world we live in.
Life leaves marks.
It takes turns we don’t expect. We knew that Stanza's destiny is not to create perfection but to create meaning and beauty.
Like life, this necklace should not be flawless — but that’s what makes it meaningful.
Where the Circle Opens
One day in the studio, someone said what we were all quietly thinking:
“What if perfect isn’t the point?”
And just like that, everything tilted.
We broke the circle — gently.
A small opening, a deliberate pause in the gold, became the center of the story.
That gap didn’t make the piece weaker. It made it honest.
Because we all have those openings — the moments that didn’t go as planned, the things we’re still working through, the chapters that didn’t end the way we imagined.
But those aren’t dead ends.
They’re entry points for something new.
The “gap” became our way of saying: You’re still becoming. And that’s enough.

Textures That Tell the Truth
After that breakthrough came the next question: How should this pendant feel?
We tested surface after surface — brushed, matte, fully polished, you name it. Nothing clicked until we tried two textures at once:
-
A sandblasted front, with the kind of depth that feels shaped by time.
-
A smooth, glossy back, warm against the skin, like something kept close for years.
The front holds the story.
The back holds the heart.
Together, they balance the parts of life we show the world and the parts we carry quietly inside.
A Light That Stays With You
Right at the center sits a single moissanite — not to shout, not to steal the scene, but to anchor the piece.
Its shine is steady and intentional, like a small direction marker — a reminder that even when life opens up in unexpected ways, there’s always something guiding you forward.
We placed it in the middle for a reason: every turn has a core, and this one’s yours.
A Little Luck for the Road
When you wear the Fortune’s Turn Necklace, it doesn’t feel like a “statement piece.” It feels like a keepsake.
Something that travels with you.
It’s the kind of piece you reach for on days when you want reassurance… and on days when you’re ready for something new.
It holds a bit of courage, a bit of hope, and a whole lot of “you’ve got this.”
Because the truth is:
Life will turn.
Fortune will shift.
But you are still moving, still choosing, still here.
And sometimes that’s the real luck —
the faith to step into the next turn,
even when you don’t know where it leads.
May this little wheel stay close,
and may every turn ahead carry you somewhere worth going.
