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 Frustrated by permanent engraving and outdated designs that lack individuality and style, Vision Of Self introduces a fashion accessory that discreetly holds changeable, handwritten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.
Hand-written personalization.
Handwritten words possess a special and powerful significance. What we write down on paper holds a unique power, intimacy, and a deeper sense of purpose—profoundly affecting our emotions, memory, and mind. It fosters clarity, focus, and breathes life into our thoughts and words. Think famous journals and diaries, love letters, autographs, historical documents, protest signs and things burned into our collective conscience simply because they were written down.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.
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 vision.
Our vision is to introduce a new generation’s language into the practice of intentionality, mindfulness, and empowerment—inspiring a diverse, modern community through a unique accessory that serves as a bridge and catalyst for personal growth, elevated achievement, and self-fulfillment—without compromising style.

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 re-align his energy and guide his focus—keeping him inspired, committed, and connected to his ever-evolving intentions, goals, and dreams, without compromising his personal style.
