every pieces tells a story.
A new vision for accessory.
Vision Of Self was created to redefine what meaningful, intentional, and personalized jewelry can be. Frustrated by permanent engraving and outdated designs that lack individuality, substance, and style, Vision Of Self introduces a fashion accessory that discreetly holds changeable, handwritten messages—self-personalized by you—with a modern aesthetic, versatile functionality, and proven benefits. You can use it as a tool for mindfulness, manifestation, and intentionality, or as a uniquely customized piece of jewelry that's yours alone.
Hand-written personalization.
Handwritten personalization is at the heart of Vision Of Self because it holds a special and powerful significance. What you write on Vision Of Self papers becomes uniquely personal—carrying a deeper sense of purpose, intimacy, and meaning while breathing life into your thoughts and words. This can profoundly shape your emotions, memory, and mindset—fostering clarity and focus. Think famous journals and diaries, love letters, autographs, historical documents, protest signs and things burned into our collective conscience simply because they were written down.
Embodiment.
Connection is everything. Wearing Vision Of Self isn’t just a style statement—it's an opportunity to carry your handwritten words with you as a constant reminder, personal symbol, or tangible connection. This represents an intimate act of optimism, self-love, or commitment. The message inside says it all, and wearing it makes those words a part of you. More than jewelry, it’s a deep and meaningful connection to what matters most, embodied every day—leading to increased fulfillment.
Our story.
A journey towards a more intentional and fulfilling life inspired the development of an accessory that really works, in a way that’s simple and stylish. Vision Of Self began as a feeling, not as an idea, by multi-hyphenate creator and New York City native Bernard Smith during a personal journey. After spending most of his life in the thick of NYC and the fashion industry, Bernard sought new beginnings by embarking on solo travel across Latin/South America. It was there that he created the first Vision Of Self piece to help guide his focus and keep him inspired, committed, and connected to new intentions, goals, and dreams.
