The Inspiration Behind The Retablo Collection

Hi Angels,

It's Finn, the designer and creative force behind every piece of VSA jewelry you own.  Inspiration is what feeds a creative, and I'm fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, seeped in history and beauty at every turn.  So much of the inspiration behind my jewelry designs comes from my love for Mexico and its sacred traditions.  Each tradition has an incredible story that gets translated into a collection.  I don’t design pieces that are just beautiful—I design pieces that carry the meaning of the tradition behind them.

I believe there is a vibration that resonates from my inspiration that then carries through from the artisans who bring them to life with their devotions.

A Retablo is a framed piece of devotional art, rich in folklore and faith. These depictions of Virgins, Saints, and Angels don’t just decorate a space; they tell stories of miracles granted and prayers answered.

Retablos have always fascinated me—how they capture moments of divine intervention, whether surviving an illness, an earthquake, or any other life-altering event. These small paintings are like heartfelt thank-you notes to the divine inscribed with personal messages of gratitude. I wanted to bring that same spirit into this jewelry collection, creating wearable blessings that hold meaning to the wearer.

Every piece in this collection is designed to be more than just an accessory—it’s a symbol of protection, faith, and devotion. Whether you wear it as a reminder of your own journey, gift it to a loved one, or simply cherish it as a work of art, I hope each piece feels like a personal blessing, a connection to something greater.

Our Retablo Jewelry Collection is more than just a series of designs—it’s a gallery of wearable blessings, each one waiting for your story, your prayer, and maybe even your own little miracle.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
