On Souda: 1. Memories of the Sea pendant necklace 2. Honeymoon earrings
What does it mean to be a thriving woman in 2024?
The question is as ambiguous as the answers are vast. That’s because while women might have been liberated from certain socio-political constraints of the past, many expectations still plaguing the modern woman.

Where would we be without our sisterhood, the ones we’re born with, and the ones we forge. From mothers to sisters to girlfriends, they are the ones we lean on to find strength when we have an extra boost of self-confidence. London-based label Matilde by Portuguese-born founder Matilde Faria Mourinho Felix created her brand with this notion in mind. An homage to her mother and grandmother, Matilde channels her family values of strength, confidence, creativity, and determination through her intricate creations (like her Tidal necklace or Blossom ring), all made from 100 percent recycled gold and lab-grown rocks.

No man is an island, and indeed no woman. Throughout history, many civil rights movements have been championed and supported by women and the environmental movement today is no exception. Many businesses understand that preserving the planet also involves saving women who have been left behind during the mad rush to globalization. One of our newest brands, Nue, is a shining example. The German label uses recycled materials and lab-grown diamonds for their delicate pieces handcrafted in Europe by women with expertise in making ultra-fine 18k gold jewelry. A portion of the sales is also donated to Project Nanhi Kali, an Indian program that enables underprivileged girls to complete 10 years of schooling.
