What if your most significant moments could be etched into gold — not in words, but in symbols? Loverglyphs, the signature commission service by New York-based designer Sarah Ysabel Narici, invites clients to do exactly that.

Through a process that blends deep consultation with precise craftsmanship, Narici works with each client to build a unique visual language of “glyphs” — personalised symbols that draw from a client’s history, culture, and emotional milestones. The result: one-of-a-kind jewels that carry far more than aesthetic appeal. These are objects of memory, meaning and identity.

Designer in Focus: Sarah Ysabel Narici

The vision behind Loverglyphs belongs to Sarah Ysabel Narici — a British-Italian designer whose career has moved between the ateliers of Alexander McQueen, Stephen Webster, Marina Bulgari and Lorraine Schwartz. Educated at Central Saint Martins and the Gemological Institute of America, her foundations are both academic and deeply practical, rooted in technical excellence and conceptual clarity.

Narici launched DYNE in 2022, building a studio practice around the belief that jewellery can be more than decorative — it can be communicative. Her work draws on ancient languages, philosophical symbolism, and abstract storytelling to craft pieces that resonate on an emotional and intellectual level. Whether creating bespoke commissions or exhibiting at international salons with Phillips Auction House, Narici positions jewellery as a medium for dialogue — between eras, cultures, and people.

Her Loverglyphs service brings this approach into sharp personal focus. Each commission is an invitation not just to wear gold, but to inscribe meaning into it.

The Making of a Loverglyph

The Loverglyphs process begins with a personal conversation. Narici — who trained at Central Saint Martins and the Gemological Institute of America, and honed her skills in Place Vendôme workshops — guides each client through a thoughtful design journey, translating their stories into custom glyphs. These could represent anything from a career change to a spiritual belief, a birthplace, or a private ritual between loved ones.

From the initial sketches to the final engraving, each Loverglyph is crafted in solid 18K gold, often featuring responsibly sourced gemstones. The final piece might appear as a signet ring, pendant or bracelet — but always as a wearable archive of meaning.

Ancient Symbols, Contemporary Codes

The Loverglyphs language isn’t bound by a single alphabet. Instead, Narici draws on a range of symbolic sources — ancient pictographs, contemporary shorthand, Braille, Morse code, even emojis — to create a new hybrid visual lexicon.

This cross-cultural and time-blurring approach speaks to Narici’s own background. With both British and Italian heritage, and a deep interest in history and abstraction, her work finds beauty in contradiction: past and future, structured and spontaneous, universal and intimate.

Cultural Reception and Editorial Praise

Loverglyphs has gained recognition for its conceptual depth and execution. Vogue UK has called the pieces “a contemporary twist on ancient jewellery traditions,” while Town & Country named DYNE’s signet rings one of its “bedrocks of the year.” The Financial Times also recently featured a Loverglyphs commission based on a beloved family pet — highlighting the light-hearted, deeply personal nature of each story translated into gold.

With commissions beginning at $9,000 and requiring a lead time of 6–12 weeks, each piece is an investment in a truly singular object.

The Jewels Club Take

Jewellery often marks a moment — an engagement, a birthday, a birth — but few designers are as deliberate about storytelling as Sarah Ysabel Narici. Loverglyphs doesn’t just commemorate; it communicates. These are jewels built on dialogue, designed to last not only physically but symbolically. In a market saturated with generic personalisation, Narici has carved out a niche that is genuinely intimate, quietly intellectual, and beautifully executed.

For collectors seeking jewellery with emotional intelligence and rare specificity, Loverglyphs offers a compelling proposition: meaning, made visible.
