Helloooooo 2019! Instead of resolutions that I'll struggle to keep, I’ve decided to set intentions, continue to use my everyday mantras, and to look to the stars for enlightenment (and inspiration 😉). To coincide with this celestial shift, I tapped Natalia Benson, an LA-based Astrologer, Women’s Empowerment Coach and Modern Mystic, as this month’s Finding. Natalia definitely has a sixth sense for style and her unique brand of mysticism resonates with me and so many others. During her styling session, we chatted astrological signs, our mutual passion for horses (we both rode as kids), her grandmother’s lasting influence (she has several tattoos in her honor), a shared love of modern architecture and even how she used to design jewelry before heading down her current path. My fave part of the day was my Tarot card reading (obvi!), where I gained some major insight into what lies ahead for me creatively in 2019. And while I don’t know exactly what will happen this year, I now have a clear direction thanks to Natalia: “take your vision and turn it to GOLD!” | photos by annie mcelwain |

Natalia has spent the last decade living in Los Angeles, letting the city inspire her work and lifestyle. She went straight for big hoops, which are very much "her vibe." She added our dainty bezel rainbow ear cuff for a colorful kick. Natalia was drawn to our pave and marquis diamond horizon necklace, and layered it with her own medium mantra necklace, engraved with “Everything I need is within me,” both great reminders of what 2019 has in store.

On her wrist, Natalia started her stack with our aquamarine baguette bracelet. She loves this stone for it’s calming, soothing and cleansing properties that can help inspire truth, trust and letting go. Then, she added two statement bangles— the pave wide cuff and the pave bar cuff— and threw on our itty bitty dangling stars bracelet for some celestial vibes.

Natalia opted for a single statment ring -- our pave and pear shaped wide band ring -- on one hand and a playful stack of dainty diamonds on her other hand, including our 3 thin band mixed diamond ring and large baguette diamond ring. She was also drawn to our brand new total eclipse collection (launching Mid-January) and placed an order for her very own wide band ring with engraved sun, moon and star to rock on the daily.

Natalia is making her mark on LA and and entire community of people that wish to tap into their inner love, peace and desires. From our short tarot reading, I was finally able to see that it is not about foretelling the future but about allowing your consciousness to reflect back what it needs. Especially in this social climate, we could all use a little of this practical magic and Natalia is the perfect guide!
