Let’s make one thing clear as we journey into 2026: We’re not about total reinvention this January, we’re about honesty.
About what you’re done carrying. About what no longer fits in your life. About where you’re ready to loosen the grip of expectation and make space for something freer and more you. Freedom, as it turns out, isn’t a dramatic breaking of chains. It’s a liberation taken little by little as you shape how you want your life to look this year…
This is the year you choose what stays and what goes. The year you wear symbols that remind you that your life is yours to shape. Let’s start there.
Talismans from the trove
Consider this your warning: Beware…
Let’s talk about boundaries.
The kind you don’t explain.
The kind that exist purely because you decided they should.
This seal reads BEWARE, not as a threat, but as a declaration. An unapologetic reminder that you are not endlessly available, endlessly accommodating, or negotiable.
She’s bold. She’s limited edition. She doesn’t soften herself to be palatable.
And frankly, that’s the energy we’re claiming this year, will you? Check out the Beware Intaglio Ingot.
Bloom without boundaries: Carnelian Flower
This one’s about expansion. About taking up space and letting yourself bloom without restrictions. The carnelian flower is a symbol of vitality, courage, and life force the kind that comes back online when you stop shrinking yourself to fit places you’ve outgrown.
She’s for the woman who’s done dimming her colour and who is learning that growth doesn’t require permission. Wear the Carnelian Pendant if 2026 is about reclaiming your energy, trusting your instincts, and letting yourself flourish on your own terms.
Our power word and secret weapon: No
This one doesn’t ask. It doesn’t explain or doesn’t soften itself to be more pleasing for others.
The No pendant is about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your right to opt out, without guilt, justification, or apology. Because “no” is not rude. It’s not selfish. It’s a boundary, and it’s a powerful one.
Wear the No Pendant if this is the year you stop people-pleasing and start choosing yourself calmly, clearly, and without debate.
Looking for something custom and oh so you?
Custom intaglio commissions are where Bauble Magpie began — and they remain the heart of everything I do. Because nothing says freedom quite like choosing something entirely on your own terms.
You start with the intaglio that speaks to you (which we have hundreds to explore). You choose the piece of jewellery you want it set into. You decide on the materials. No rules. No pressure. No “shoulds”. Just choices that are yours wholly.
If 2026 is the year you stop settling, stop compromising, and stop wearing things that don’t fully reflect you, this is how you do it. A commission is a boundary in gold. A marker of self-trust. A bold declaration that you know who you are and what you want.
And because imagining the finished piece can feel a bit abstract (unless you live inside my brain, which I don’t recommend), we have a Design Inspo page full of past commissions to help you visualise what’s possible. Whether you’re looking for a custom signet ring that makes a statement from one of our antique wax seals or want to carry your talisman with you as a custom intaglio pendant, the options are near endless.
Mischief makers it’s time to break those boundaries and set yourself free
Choose yourself without explaining.
Choose the symbols that back you up when words fail.
Choose freedom, confidence, discernment, desire and some well-earned bad behaviour.
And if you need reminding?
“No” is not rude.
It’s revolutionary.
With love and shiny things, always
Emma and the Bauble Magpie Team
