"IMAGO jewelry is for people who want to celebrate their transformation. Whether as a daily reminder of your own strength or as a meaningful gift for someone who needs courage."

Ela Nord's IMAGO collection transforms natural cocoons into extraordinary, feather-light jewelry pieces full of symbolic power. The pendants and colliers are an evocative metaphor for our ability to survive difficult times while undergoing a process of transformation.
