There is a quiet poetry in objects worn close to the skin. Like tokens that hold memory, energy, and intention.
This season, ARAO reimagines jewelry as a conduit for emotional resonance—the new Soul Collection, a series of baroque pearl pieces paired with purposefully chosen crystals.
In holistic wellness circles, healing stones are celebrated for their subtle yet profound emotional and spiritual benefits. ARAO leans into this philosophy, elevating it through the lens of fine craftsmanship.
Each necklace begins with a handpicked baroque pearl; otherwise imperfect, organic, luminous. Now, strung with crystals that amplify specific kinds of energy. Think of it as wearable equilibrium: beauty that steadies the soul.
“We wanted people to connect with their ARAO jewelry energetically,” the team shares. “By combining pearls with crystals and infusing fine-jewelry techniques, we heightened the craft behind crystal jewelry.”
Founder Mirabel Rosar echoes this intention, framing the collection as an exploration of everyday luxury.
“We returned to our ethos. What does everyday luxury look like today?” The answer: pieces that feel intimate, intentional, and enduring. Objects that can be worn daily, cherished for years, and carried like subtle promises.
The lineup reads like a spectrum of emotional landscapes. Aquamarine, the Mermaid Stone, offers clarity and courage in its oceanic blues. Amethyst ushers in peace and intuitive calm. Citrine glows with the warmth of abundance and sunlight, while Smokey Quartz grounds and steadies, helping wearers manifest new paths. Clear Quartz, the Master Healer, amplifies light and intention; Larimar, rare and serene, dissolves emotional heaviness like waves smoothing the shore.
Moonstone, the stone of the Divine Feminine, nurtures creativity and new beginnings, whereas Prehnite brings unconditional love and a quieting of the heart. Rose Quartz softens emotional wounds with compassion, and Green Aventurine gently ushers in empowerment and renewal.
Assembled by hand, faceted for brilliance, and sourced with care from sea and earth, the Soul Collection accompanies to the touch. Something that listens, steadies, and strengthens.
ARAO’s Soul Collection is now available at Rustan’s Silver Vault, Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
