SPECIAL PROJECTS

Stolen Girlfriends Club, a renowned New Zealand-based jewellery brand, is thrilled to announce the creation of a bespoke mixed charm necklace for global music superstar José Álvaro Osorio Balvin, widely known as J Balvin.

The custom necklace is a unique reflection of J Balvin’s dynamic style and artistic journey. Each charm has been meticulously selected from Stolen Girlfriends Club’s previous collections, serving as a celebration of the brand's history and evolution. A 'best of album’ in jewellery that encapsulates the essence of Stolen Girlfriends Club's design philosophy.

Handcrafted from 925 solid Sterling Silver, the necklace features an array of natural gemstones sourced directly from New Zealand, each chosen not only for its beauty but also for its deep symbolic meaning and cultural significance.

The gemstones incorporated into the necklace include:

Obsidian - Jet Black: This powerful stone is believed to bring clarity, helping to release emotional and spiritual blockages, while drawing out stress and tension. It's a perfect symbol for José, who consistently breaks boundaries and inspires his audience.

Crazy Lace Agate - Soft Pink: Known as the stone of joy and vitality, Crazy Lace Agate is revered for its ability to infuse any situation with strong positive energy, making it an ideal choice for José who brings joy and energy to his performances.

Nephrite Jade - Green and Yellow: Highly valued for its rarity and its significant role in Māori culture, Nephrite Jade is believed to possess powerful protective properties. This stone is a testament to strength and resilience, qualities that resonate deeply with both José personal journey and New Zealand's rich cultural heritage.

Rhodonite - Soft Pink: This stone is associated with emotional healing and the restoration of balance, embodying love and compassion. It reflects José’s mission to spread love and positivity through his music.

"Our hope is that this custom piece will inspire creativity, self-expression, and self-confidence," said Marc Moore, Creative Director of Stolen Girlfriends Club. "We wanted to create something that not only mirrors José’s unique style but also carries a deeper meaning. By incorporating natural New Zealand gemstones, we wanted to give him a small piece of New Zealand that he could take with him wherever he goes. “This one-of-a-kind necklace symbolizes artistry, culture, and inspiration that aligns with both J Balvin and Stolen Girlfriends Club's ethos.”

In a special moment, Marc presented J Balvin with the custom necklace. The exchange had a casual but meaningful tone, reflecting the personal and creative bond between the designer and the musician, two individuals pushing boundaries in their respective fields.
