From the founder
12 symbols. 6 months.$12K to hold them for the first time.
I can tell you what Atlas means to me. Yours might mean something completely different.
That's the point. You don't wear the story I gave it. You wear the one you've lived.

Detail this small
doesn't come cheap.
The Crown of Thorns measures 13.15 millimeters. The Ouroboros, 20.16. Inside pieces that size: the muscle in Atlas's back, the scales on the serpent, the cracks in Sisyphus's stone.
Getting that detail to survive in metal is the hard part.
That's what the method behind this level of detail costs us to sample a single charm, before one ever ships.
How it's made
File. Sample. Finish.
-
File 02 · Atlas · Wireframe 01 — The file
It starts as a file.
Every charm is modeled in 3D first. The form is mapped out before a single detail goes on.
-
First casts · still on the sprue 02 — The sample
$1,000 a sample.
Holding that much detail in something this small takes a slow, exact process. It costs $1,000 per charm just to make the samples.
These are the first casts, still on the sprue.

File 02 · Atlas · Finished 03 — The finish
Then it gets darkened.
Each charm is antiqued and oxidized. The recesses go dark, the high points stay bright, and every detail reads.
On file
Measured in millimeters.
Packaging
Issued in the tin.
Each charm arrives in the black MENTALITY tin with its pouch. The M on the lid is pressed from a steel die cut for this tin.
