I
reach for this necklace when I want to
feel bold and decadent. To me, jewelry
is both a declaration and a reminder. It
tells the world who you are, while also
whispering to you who you aspire to be.
I designed this necklace, the Hathor necklace, because I wanted to create something
that feels unapologetic—a piece that doesn’t
whisper, it declares. Sometimes I use jewelry
as armor, as a reminder to take up space and
own my power. Wearing it feels like harnessing that power. This necklace brings together
the elements that have been the heartbeat of
[my brand] House of Harlow since the very
beginning—red jasper, tiger’s eye, and black
onyx. For me, each stone carries its own essence, and by wearing them, I can draw that
energy into my life. Layered together, they
embody strength, truth, and forward motion.
—Nicole Richie, as told to Melissa Magsaysay
