Distinctly Caitlin Designs
Beautiful, handcrafted affirmation tokens.
Designed to inspire thoughtful women to look for the good in their everyday lives and create long lasting habits of positvity.
Living in the French Pyrenees countryside, I am surrounded by flowers and endless examples of how magnificent nature is. This beautiful place inspired me to make floral affirmation tokens, using traditional enamel and goldsmith techniques.
I believe in manifesting. It is the principle that “on what you focus, you will manifest” and is a daily practice of brain retraining. Having a physical object with you, like one of my tokens, that you have mentally attached your affirmations to, can help you stay focused on the good in your life.
I have carefully selected each one of the flowers that inspires a collection, for its meaning. All flowers have meanings and I am so inspired by that subtle and secret conversation between the token and the wearer.
I call them tokens because tokens are symbols of a bigger concept, a hope, a wish, or a feeling. Jewellery has throughout history served as tokens for protection, power, and love. I want people to be able to use and treasure their jewellery rather than just wear it.
Plique-à-jour enamel
The enamel technique I use is called Plique-à-jour.
This technique creates an effect similar to stained glass.
I love that each piece has layers of meaning. I draw meaning from the fact that the pieces get more beautiful when you hold them up to the light and look closely, in the same way, that our lives look better when you look closely and see each individual small positive moment throughout your day.
Limited Edition Tokens
A few times a year one limited edition token design is released.
This design is normally more detailed than the other tokens and has more intricate enamel work.
There are only ever 5 tokens made at a time. They sell on a first come first serve basis so keep an eye out before they are all gone.
Custom Tokens for Special Moments
Flowers can mean anything from "love", "happiness" and "confidence" to the more subtle "I promise to be true" and "I will never forget you".
This sentimental quality makes them the perfect inspiration for gifts.
My tokens can be a way for a bride to subtly and beautifully wish good things for her bridesmaids or to express her wishes for her own future. They can be a treasured memento of a loved one or even to welcome a new family member into the world.
I have made tokens that were inspired by a clients favorite flower, tokens that were designed using the flower that had the same meaning as the clients name and even used the flowers that were in a wedding bouquet as inspiration.
Wearable, meaningful jewellery that reminds you of all the good in your life.
