every pieces tells a story.
A new vision for accessory.
Vision Of Self was created to redefine what personalized accessories and 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 Frustrated by permanent engraving and outdated designs that lack individuality, substance, and style, Vision Of Self introduces a fashion accessory that discreetly holds changeable, handwritten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 or as a uniquely customized accessory 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 Think famous journals and diaries, love letters, autographs, historical documents, protest signs and things burned into our collective conscience simply because they were written down.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, including as a constant reminder, personal symbol, or tangible 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.
Our story.
Conceived by multi-hyphenate creator and New York City native Bernard Smith, Vision Of Self first began as a way to stay committed and connected to his own goals and dreams, as his authentic self, whether he was on a run or moving through the day. Designed as a personal accessory, it embodies his love for style and design, along with discreet yet powerful tools that elevate intention, focus, and achievement.
Through his accessory, he realized intentionality and mindfulness were empowering tools for personal success, and could feel cool, relatable, and effortless—inviting people like himself to connect with transformational practices such as self-expression, intention/goal-setting, affirmations, meditation, and manifestation.
