THE CALIFORNIA SCENARIO: SPRING 2026
Talisman Fine Jewelry is a collection of sculptural heirloom jewelry, sustainably handmade in recycled 14k gold. Spring 2026 - photographed at Isamu Noguchi’s California Scenario sculpture garden - revolves around the concept of “refinement.” Designer Vanessa Barcus revisited signature designs through a fresh lens - refining longstanding styles further into the best versions of themselves. Several new core designs also make their debut for spring, which are certain to be future classics in your jewelry box.
