Introducing the Midnight in the Garden of Ruins Collection, inspired by the powerful and strategic leadership of Artemisia of Caria.

Artemisia, one of the only female regents of her era, defied expectations by taking command of Caria after her husband’s death. Underestimated by neighboring islands who believed her rule would make Caria vulnerable, Artemisia used her wisdom and strategic brilliance to outmaneuver their invasion plans. She led her navy with precision, employing tactical foresight to protect her kingdom and demonstrate her strength as a leader. Beyond her military prowess, Artemisia commissioned the grand Mausoleum of Halicarnassus—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—a tribute to her husband and a symbol of her enduring vision. Today, among the ruins of this wonder, flowers bloom, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, life and legacy continue to thrive.

This collection honors Artemisia’s legacy, celebrating the power within every woman to overcome challenges and create a lasting impact. Each piece serves as a symbol of resilience and empowerment, reflecting that your actions today, no matter the obstacles, are laying the foundation for your future legacy.

Let the Midnight in the Garden of Ruins Collection inspire you to embrace your wisdom and strength, knowing that everything you do now contributes to the legacy that will blossom in the future.
