Redwood Leaf Necklace

A talisman made to mark coming home.
Lulu Designs began in a garage, decades ago, long before there was a studio to speak of. The work moved for a while, out to Sausalito, before finally landing back in Mill Valley, the place Stacy has always called home. When our twenty-fifth anniversary came, we wanted to mark it with something tied to where we'd actually returned to, our flagship gallery and workshop at the Mill Valley Lumber Yard, surrounded by redwoods that have stood over this stretch of the Bay Area long before any of us arrived. A single leaf found just outside our door became the muse for the piece, every needle and vein of the real thing carried into its design, inscribed with three words that felt like they were already written into it. The Redwood Leaf talisman carries that whole journey, the garage, the years in Sausalito, the coming home, a reminder that strength sometimes looks like finding your way back to where you started.
