A Women's Bonding Experience! Let Them Eat Cake
So, picture this: the fabulous ladies of Virgins Saints & Angels gathered for our annual team meeting—serious business, right? But little did they know, a whirlwind of fun was brewing behind the scenes!
As we dove into our agenda, I secretly hatched a plan worthy of a Hollywood script! I arranged for a costume rental, a stylist, a makeup artist, and a hair wizard to sneak in through the backdoor—shhh, don’t tell anyone!
Momentarily stepping away under the guise of a “bathroom break,” I burst back into the room like a scene out of a fairytale, donning a dazzling quinceanera dress that could rival a princess! With the flair of a true showstopper, I flung open the double doors and exclaimed, “Who’s ready to eat CAKE?” 🎂
The looks on their faces were priceless—pure shock turned to giggles as we celebrated not just our hard work, but the joy of being a team!
As if on cue, the fabulous crew appeared, arms full of colorful dresses and outrageous wigs! Because let’s be real—what’s better than a good old-fashioned dress-up party? We threw on those wigs and outfits, and the afternoon turned into a fashion runway of personalities!
With everyone decked out and looking stunning, I summoned the pièce de résistance—the CAKE! 🎂 When they asked if I wanted it sliced, I shot back a resounding “No way!” I had a plan! As the cake was placed right in the middle of our sparkling setup, I shouted, “Dig in, girls!” and, without hesitation, I dove right in, hands first!
The giggles were contagious as one by one, everyone followed my lead. And just like that, we captured the moment with a snapshot titled “Let Them Eat Cake!” We spent the rest of the day in stitches, still rocking our fabulous outfits, dancing our way to the local coffee shop, where the fun only continued!
This was more than just a silly afternoon—it was a spectacular team-building adventure that brought us all closer, creating memories we’ll be referencing for years to come!
...Because at Virgins Saints & Angels, we believe in mixing a sprinkle of serious with a splash of fun in everything we do!
Wear It & Believe!
Love,
Finn

The Basilica Collection Introduction
Hi Angels!
Can you feel that? It’s not just the change of seasons—it’s the universe conspiring to bring you something fabulous.
Our latest Spring collections are about to drop, and trust me, they are nothing short of divine. Picture this: the legendary Jesus de la Cruz (yes, Jesus himself—coincidence? I think not) working his magic behind the camera, while the radiant Emilia channels celestial energy into every shot. The result? Pure visual poetry. The images are already gracing our site, and I dare you not to swoon. And where did we shoot this heavenly campaign? Right in my home in the enchanting San Miguel de Allende, because why not bring a little extra magic to the mix?
Let’s talk about The Basilica Collection. My personal love letter to Rome—where Romanesque grandeur flirts with Gothic drama, all wrapped up in that signature VSA mystique. The vision came to me last September (divine intervention? Maybe), drawing inspiration from the four great Basilicas of Rome.
This collection carries a Vintage Spirit, evoking memories of VSA’s early days in 1999, when I first introduced Gothic Glam, a style that began my career as a designer.
![]()
The Basilica Collection launches just in time for the Vatican’s 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope—a sacred time when the Holy Doors of the Basilicas open, inviting reflection, renewal, and deeper spiritual connection to the divine.
Some wear my designs for their style, others for their deeper meaning. Prepare to be blessed, adorned, and absolutely obsessed with The Basilica Collection.
Wear It & Believe!

Nurturing the Heart: A February Reflection from Finn
February is the month of love, a time when we think about our hearts in all their fragile, ever-changing states. Our hearts can shift in an instant—from euphoria to bliss, contentment to heartbreak. Some heartfelt moments are beyond our control, while others come from desires that may or may not be real.
For those who have collected VSA over the years, you know that each of my collections carries a special meaning. I always say that some wear my designs because the meaning resonates with them, while others wear them simply because they love the fashion. As a designer, of course, I want women to wear my pieces, but what I cherish most are the stories I receive about miracles and the deeper connections my designs have created.
The Meaning Behind the Caged Heart Collection
My newest collection, Caged Heart, is a reflection on the importance of nurturing our hearts. The inspiration behind this design comes from the image of the heart sitting inside our ribcage—protected, yet yearning for attention. When neglected for too long, the heart seeks escape, becoming lost in the process.
I know, in the end, it is just a piece of metal in a particular shape. But to me, the Caged Heart serves as a daily reminder to nurture our hearts and prioritize self-love.
Small Acts of Self-Love
Self-love doesn’t always have to be grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s as simple as:
Sharing a deep belly laugh
Treating yourself to a solo movie night with your favorite mix of popcorn and M&Ms
Indulging in a soothing facial or a long, luxurious bath
Savoring an extra-long hug from someone who means the world to you
Taking a quiet moment to journal your thoughts and dreams
Wearing a piece of jewelry that reminds you of your worth and resilience
Whatever it may be, the Caged Heart is your reminder to cherish and nurture your heart every single day.
Here’s to a February filled with love, both given and received.
Wear It & Believe!
With love,
Finn & The VSA Team

Embracing Intentions Over Resolutions: A Magical Start to 2025
As the new year approaches, it’s common to hear talk of resolutions. But let me share a secret: that word has always scared me. Resolutions feel so definitive, obsessive, and final. Where’s the room for the magic to happen?
Instead, I choose intentions.
Intentions feel more intuitive and allow for a flow that is reasonable and within reach. They create a space where creativity and unexpected magic can thrive—and that’s where the real beauty of life (and VSA) resides.
Intentions for the New Year at VSA
As we step into 2025, we at Virgins Saints & Angels have set intentions that align with our hearts, our values, and our Angels—you.
We believe in magic and will be open to letting it happen.
Magic has always been part of our DNA. It’s in every piece we design, in every story we share, and in the connections we make with our Angels.
We intend to design pieces that are meaningful and that resonate with our Angels.
Every necklace, ring, and bracelet is created with intention, infused with symbolism, and crafted to be a cherished talisman.
We intend to treat our Angels as family, to hear you and react to your needs.
Your voice matters. We want to continue listening to your stories, celebrating your milestones, and creating pieces that reflect your journey.
We intend to respect your beliefs but stay true to VSA.
We celebrate diversity and individuality while staying rooted in what makes VSA unique.
We intend to continue being an example of a successful women-owned and operated business.
Empowering women is at the core of what we do. It’s in our workshop, our leadership, and our community of Angels.
We intend to hold strong to our beliefs and encourage our Angels to do the same.
Your strength inspires us. Let’s continue to shine brightly, unapologetically, and authentically.
Our intention is always to make our Angels feel like the Goddesses they are.
Every piece of VSA jewelry is a reminder of your divine energy. Wear it and believe it.
Here’s to a Magical 2025
As we step into this new year, let’s leave room for the unexpected, the enchanting, and the extraordinary.
Here’s to intentions that guide us gently and the magic that awaits us.
Thank you for being part of the VSA family. We can’t wait to see what this year holds for us all.
Wear It & Believe!
With love and gratitude,
Finn & The VSA Team

Finn’s Favorite Gifts: My 6 Picks for This Holiday Season
For me, gifting is about intention. A great gift should be personal, meaningful, and something to share. It's a reflection of the connection I have with the person receiving it.
And, of course, I always give VSA jewelry. Not just because it's expected, but because my friends and family look forward to seeing which pieces I’ve handpicked just for them.
This year, I’m spilling the beans and giving you a sneak peek at the six gifts I’ve chosen—and who will be unwrapping them.
(Fingers crossed they don’t read this blog!)
1. Leather Lariat for Mom
My mom is 82 going on 52. She’s active, stylish, and fearless, but she’s not one to pick something edgy like a lariat on her own. That’s where I come in! She’s getting my favorite Leather Lariat in black with the gold Peace Cross.
The soft leather and lightweight design make it easy to wear—and versatile enough to style as a choker or long wrap. It’s youthful yet sophisticated, just like her. With a little guidance, I know she’ll love it… and probably end up showing it off at her next Pilates class.
2. Pearl Magdalena + Pearl Wrap for Tara
Tara, my dear friend, has a beautiful collection of pearls, but it’s time to shake things up! She’s getting my favorite Pearl Magdalena and Pearl Wrap in gunmetal.
These aren’t your grandma’s pearls—this combo is bold, edgy, and a little punk rock. Perfect for Tara, who used to listen to the Ramones on repeat in college. I can already see her rocking them at PTA meetings, making a statement with the wrap worn as a choker and the Magdalena layered long. Goodbye stuffy pearls, hello rockstar mom!
3. Oval Cloister Ring for Ella
Ella is petite, but her personality is anything but small. She loves attention (and compliments!), and while she doesn’t usually go for statement jewelry, I’m giving her the Oval Cloister Ring.
This ring is bold and fun—perfect for sparking conversations and drawing compliments. I know she’ll be surprised by how much she enjoys wearing it and the confidence it brings. Ella, get ready for your new favorite accessory!
4. Betty Necklace + Maria Cross for Viris
Viris is my modern-day Betty—happy, adventurous, and effortlessly stylish. She’ll be getting the Betty Necklace paired with the Maria Cross for a touch of edge.
Viris loves a bold look, and this combo will suit her perfectly. With her signature eyeliner and fearless spirit, she’ll make this necklace her own. Betty never disappoints, and I’m sure this will become a staple in her wardrobe.
5. Bolo Tie for Christa
This was the easiest pick of all. Christa has been eyeing the Bolo Tie with the Electra Medallion for months. She’s boho chic to the core, and this piece was made for her ethereal, free-spirited energy.
The bolo tie is having a major moment right now, and I can’t think of anyone better to show it off. I know she’ll style it in ways I haven’t even thought of yet—layered over flowing dresses or with her favorite vintage blazer.
6. Magdalena with Semi-Precious Lolite Beads for Me
This year, I’m treating myself to something truly special—the Magdalena with semi-precious Lolite beads.
Lolite is known for its shifting shades of violet-blue, a gemstone of the muses that activates the visionary, creative side of the mind. It inspires self-expression through writing, music, movement, and other artistic endeavors.
As someone who lives for creativity, this piece speaks to my soul. It’s a reminder to embrace the inspiration that surrounds me and to trust my inner muse. I can’t wait to wear it—and feel its energy infuse my everyday life with imagination and possibility.
I can’t wait to see my loved ones unwrap their gifts this year. And who knows? Maybe they’ll be just as excited to receive them as I was to choose them.
With Love,
Finn xo

Honoring Our Workshop Team: The Artisans Behind Every VSA Piece
At Virgins Saints & Angels, we are proud of our workshop team, whose talent, dedication, and love for their craft bring each of our designs to life.
Today, we celebrate two of our cherished artisans, Antonio and Mari Cruz, whose unique talents and heartfelt dedication make our jewelry—and our workshop—a special place.
Antonio, Our Master of Metal (AKA El Crazy)
Antonio, known affectionately as "El Crazy," is a legend in the world of jewelry making, with a career spanning 35 years—24 of them with VSA. Specializing in handcrafted metal elements, Antonio is a master craftsman who turns visions into reality with extraordinary skill. His creations aren’t just beautiful; they carry the weight of his expertise and creativity. Often, I turn to him for original samples of new designs, knowing he’ll bring fresh ideas and refinements to each piece. Antonio's commitment to quality and his intuitive artistry elevate every design, making him indispensable to our team.
For Antonio, working with VSA is a “dream come true.” A ranchero at heart, he finds joy not only in his art but also on his ranch outside San Miguel, where he rides horses and grows his own vegetables. Antonio’s green thumb spills over into the workshop, where he cares for our plants, scattering seeds that have yielded surprise patches of corn, tomatoes, sunflowers, and zucchini blossoms. Antonio’s talent and warmth have made him a treasured part of our VSA family.
Mari Cruz, Our Bead Assembly Expert
With six years of dedicated service, Mari Cruz is our resident bead assembly expert. Known for her speed and accuracy, she can complete a Magdalena necklace in under 10 minutes—an impressive feat that no one else in the workshop can match.
Mari Cruz came to VSA without prior experience, yet her natural talent with beads was evident from day one. Her love for beadwork is apparent in every piece she creates, and she lights up with pride when shown photos of celebrities like Lady Gaga wearing a necklace she assembled. “I touched that piece!” she’ll exclaim, and her joy is infectious.
Three years ago, Mari Cruz blessed our workshop with the birth of her son, little Juan, who became our unofficial “good luck charm.” We were overjoyed when she brought him to the workshop during those first few months. Despite her one-hour commute from her ranch home, Mari Cruz finds great satisfaction in her work at VSA, calling the journey a small price for the fulfillment she experiences.
Celebrating the Heart of VSA
Antonio and Mari Cruz are more than skilled artisans—they are the heart of our workshop. Their dedication, artistry, and joy infuse each piece with a story, a soul, and a bit of magic. As we honor their contributions, we also celebrate the passion and craftsmanship they bring to our team, reminding us every day of the beauty in handmade art. Here’s to Antonio, Mari Cruz, and all the artisans who make VSA jewelry a true labor of love.
Stay tuned for upcoming blogs, where we’ll introduce more of our talented workshop team! Each member brings unique skills and passion to VSA, making every piece of jewelry a masterpiece with a story to tell.
We can’t wait for you to meet them all!
