Talisman Fine Jewelry is a collection of sculptural, sustainably made fine jewelry that evokes an abstract, modernist sensibility with a decidedly ancient feel. Each piece is entirely handmade using old-world lost-wax casting techniques in recycled 14k gold. Designed as heirloom jewelry for everyday wear, the pieces possess a strikingly substantial look that feels both timeless and intimate. Guided by a less-is-more ethos, the collection remains seasonless, genderless, and enduring — jewelry that transcends trend to become a personal talisman of its own.

A mostly self-taught goldsmith, Barcus handcrafts each piece in recycled gold alongside two trusted assistants, imbuing the vibrant metal with energy and intention. Rooted in her new-age–hippie upbringing in Boulder, Colorado, and expressed through a modern, minimal lens, her designs embody the true spirit of a talisman—objects charged with meaning, protection, and quiet power.
