Iztaccíhuatl Jewelry Plateau

In Mexico, a mighty volcano towers into the sky: Iztaccíhuatl. Its summit forms the silhouette of a sleeping woman carved in stone. Legend tells of a princess who, after a fierce battle, fell into an eternal, unshakeable sleep. She symbolizes the moment when the noise of the world ceases and deep, majestic tranquility sets in.

This object lives on the nightstands of the women closest to me – my wife, my mother, my sister. One after another, it found its way into their lives. Not as a gift, but because they saw it, touched it, and simply had to have it.

It holds the things you set aside when the day is over. The earrings after a long night. A ring that still gently spins, releasing the day's murmur into the silence until it comes to a standstill. The watch you take off after chasing something worthwhile for hours.
