Foundrae debuts talismanic summer jewelry with personalized symbols and medallions

Foundrae is translating joy into jewelry you can read at a glance, and the result is a 30-piece summer collection built around medallions, butterflies, blossoms and sparrows. Titled Limitless Expansion of Joy and Hope, the line leans hard into symbolism, with 18k gold chains, gemstone medallions, earrings, rings, turquoise link open chains and ceramic link long chains designed for stacking and layering. Limited-edition screen medallions in 18k gold and colored gemstone are available only through September 7, which gives the most collectible pieces a short runway.

The strongest statement pieces push color to the front. An oversized Element necklace carries 104 carats of sky-blue topaz, while a Reverie Butterfly Triskele medallion is set with 78 carats of amethyst. Around those hero styles, the palette widens to turquoise, phosphosiderite, mother-of-pearl, Swiss blue topaz, lapis, malachite, onyx, diamonds and aqua-colored ceramic. That mix gives the collection its range, from brighter, beach-day energy to deeper, jewel-box tones that will layer cleanly against Foundrae’s gold chains.

Beth Hutchens, Foundrae’s founder and designer, built the collection around summer imagery, from road trips to the beach to daydreaming and the idea of sunlight splitting into rainbow-colored light. That framing matters because the pieces do not read as generic charms. The butterfly and blossom motifs signal transformation and growth, while the sparrow adds a quieter, directional note. Foundrae also folds in personalization through engravable styles and initial extensions, making the collection feel less like a seasonal drop than a set of symbols meant to be assembled into an individual code.

The brand’s attachment to this visual language runs deep. Founded in 2015, Foundrae has long positioned itself around modern heirlooms and symbolic meaning, and Hutchens is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. In 2025, she won the GEM Award for Jewelry Design, an honor announced by Jewelers of America at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Foundrae’s first public push came with a trunk show at Barneys in September 2015, followed by an official retail launch in spring and summer 2016. A decade later, the house is still building around the same idea: jewelry that carries a message before it ever becomes an outfit.
