The story
The first heirloom
The scapular has its roots in the 13th century, originally emerging as a piece of protection and devotion. Traditionally composed of two interconnected parts, it symbolizes spiritual armor. A shield that protects the wearer, both front and back.
In bringing this tradition into halus contemporary jewelry, we have preserved the essence of protection while elevating the design. What was once a symbol of faith is now transformed into a jewel of affection: an amulet that celebrates the arrival of a new life and the unbreakable bond between parents and baby.
The luxury of HERES lies in its ability to tell your story. Each piece is a co-creation project where geometry and gemstone merge:
The Initial: The seal of the one who has just joined the family.
The Birthstone: The stone of the birth month, acting as a point of color and energy that unites the two pieces (the mother's and the father's).
HERES production takes time and care. Please allow 3-4 weeks for production.
With love, Mariana 🤍

Frequently asked questions
Can I gift it with special packaging?
Yes. Every Heres is delivered in packaging designed to be gifted.
How do I care for the piece?
Store it in a dry place. Avoid perfumes and creams in direct contact with the silver. The silk ribbon is delicate and lasts longer with mindful wear.
Can I change the stone or initials after ordering?
Yes, within 48h of ordering. After that, production has started and changes are no longer possible.
Can I request a different form (medal, rosary)?
I'm exploring other Heres pieces. Send me a message if you have an idea in mind.
Can I return it?
Because each piece is personalised with your initials, the order is non-refundable once production has begun.
Can I order it with natural stones?
Yes. This piece is made with cubic zirconias chosen for the color and meaning of each month's stone. For a version with a natural stone (emerald, ruby, sapphire, aquamarine) the piece is bespoke. Let's talk?
