FROM ANCIENT TIMES, talismans and amulets have protected and guided those that wore them. Reflecting the power of gemstones and certain motifs, women wear talismans to tell part of their story, where they have been, where they are now, where they want to be, and as a charm to help them in troubled times. Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna, Jennifer Aniston, and a host of other A-listers wear their favorite designers’ interpretations. Jewelry creators continue to infuse these meaningful pieces with imagination since they came into style again over the past decade.
