Eye Opener Collection:
Iconic and empowering, the Eye Opener Collection is inspired by ancient symbology and given a contemporary twist. This signature chain design is inspired by vintage links and reinterpreted as the Capsule Eleven brand symbol with an eye motif in the centre. The eye is a powerful universal symbol of protection, wisdom, knowledge and mystery. In addition, the third eye is known as the sixth chakra, where you inhabit your authentic voice and intuition. It helps you make clear decisions to reach your true purpose in life. The eye as a functioning clip is a metaphor for the third eye opening.
The Jewel Beneath Collection:
The Jewel Beneath collection is inspired by strength, resilience, and archaeological finds. The digging and chipping away at rocks to reveal hidden treasures is symbolic of the ‘breaking through’ of a person’s true nature; and triangle geometry represents strength from within. The inside of the ring is engraved with the Egyptian symbol for “was”, in the shape of the staff carried by the Pharaohs, which represents personal power and domination.
About Natalie Benmayor Designer and Founder:
Benmayor used her family history and experience of different cultures and aesthetics to create designs that offer the potential for personalisation. Her family history carries with it an evocative story fleeing to London from exile in Egypt, smuggling across the seas nothing but their jewels, and so her love for jewellery that’s precious and meaningful has been embedded since her youth, the family pieces were placed in a London vault before their rediscovery and their story has inspired the first capsule, with the symbols used taken from ancient Egypt. This box of treasure represented a family time capsule which also inspired the brands name. The British born half-Egyptian entrepreneurial designer has always followed her own path in design as well as working for many global brands, founded her own labels and created bespoke jewels.
Ancient Amulet philosophy Meets Modern Wellness:
The jewellery explores the philosophies of amulet wearing, alongside modern wellness techniques she has picked up on her travels and discovered through her own healing journey. Capsule Eleven's designs explore the balance between meaning and personal style in equal measure. The historical amulet is given modern functionality using the healing properties of semi-precious stones and ancient symbols to create luxury pieces that go beyond aesthetic value.
