The Heirloom Collection is deeply rooted in storytelling and heritage, designed to be a permanent fixture in my work rather than a fleeting, small-batch release. Whether online or at markets, these pieces are staying around because they represent the foundational symbols and personal history that formed who I am. Through this collection, I’m bringing to life a narrative that has been quietly weaving its way through my life for years—transforming memories, overlooked details, and traditional talismans into permanent fixtures for C&C.

The project itself started a few years after my grandfather passed away, while I was playing around with how to wear the crucifix he left me. Trying out different stacks on the same chain, I started looking back at old photos of him and caught a detail I'd never noticed before: he was wearing a corno (horn) charm. It clicked that I had been surrounded by these specific charms and necklaces my entire life, simply overlooking them. I began researching their traditional origins, a fascination that eventually became my final college semester project—where I mapped out the displays, branding, and jewelry styles that would slowly but completely seep into C&C. After stepping away from it for a while and pushing through four rapid-fire collections in 2025, it finally felt like the right moment to debut these deeply personal roots as a permanent part of the brand.

At the core of this collection is a beautiful, protective duality: the traditional Cornicello, an ancient amulet meant to ward off the evil eye, and the Mano Figa, a bold fist charm that serves as a historic nod to fertility and luck. Alongside the story-rich gifts from my Mère, these pieces bridge the gap between ancient protection and modern self-expression. They aren't just jewelry; they are a visual archive of memory and connection.
