The hero piece of the collection is a Chatelaine Holding Hands necklace complete with five charms, inspired by a 19th-century chatelaine that Jessica was gifted by her Godmother. A treasured piece whose history and symbolism became the starting point for this very magical collaboration.
In Practical Magic, holding and joining hands becomes a powerful symbol of sisterhood, female solidarity, protection and the strength found in coming together. When the women join hands, their individual energy becomes collective; a circle is formed, creating a powerful connection that transforms vulnerability into shared strength.
Hands are also a central motif within Jessica de Lotz Jewellery, making this piece a beautiful meeting point between the storytelling world of JdL and the much-loved, spellbinding universe of Practical Magic.
Hidden jump rings are woven behind the hands and along the chain, allowing a collection of new wax-seal charms, inspired by the film, to be added and rearranged. The result is a modern, practical talisman, part jewellery, part keepsake, part storytelling chatelaine.
Each charm has been created in Jessica’s signature hand-stamped wax-seal style, drawing on the symbols, rituals and little pieces of magic woven throughout the film. There is an ‘My Blood, Your Blood, Our Blood’ charm; an amethyst ‘There's A Little Witch in All of Us’ talisman, 'Amas Veritas Spell' charm, an apothecary-bottle-inspired 'Verbena Botanical' charm and a charm inspired by the blissful abandon of Midnight Margaritas.
Throughout the collection, the detailed and whimsical worlds of Practical Magic and Jessica de Lotz Jewellery intertwine through hidden engravings, symbolic gemstones, decorative embossing and even a miniature Diablo tequila bottle clasp, tiny details waiting to be discovered, much like a spell hidden in plain sight.
For fans of Practical Magic, this collection offers a pathway into the enchanting world of handmade jewellery, where every object carries a story and every detail has a little secret of its own.
For Jessica, it has been a joy to disappear into the miniature magical world of Practical Magic, translating its rituals, symbols, sisterhood and irresistible sense of enchantment into jewellery that can be held, worn and passed down, carrying a little piece of its magic with you.
