Amen Collection: when faith meets fashion

It is not easy to combine faith and fashion. The two concepts could look out of place if put one next to the other. What has faith, the largest expression of spirituality and inner dialog between man and God, to do with something so superficial, ephemeral, and sometimes even frivolous, as fashion? It’s not always like that.

There are exceptions, such as fashion or even luxury objects that can express the basic concepts of the Catholic religion through a new language, which is original and definitely glamorous. They are the Amen Collection jewels. Unique in their kind, they have become very popular in Italy and in other countries, offering a winning combination of fashion, elegance and spiritual expression. The concept is simple in its intensity: give words of faith to those we love every day, let them know they are not alone and that they are loved and protected, and that our spirit is with them in every moment, but most of all, Jesus is with them. The strength of faith, the love of God that is base and end of religion, a higher and universal love: in these jewels, all find an expression of great delicacy and intensity at the same time.

Where does this so innovative phenomenon come from? In 2012, the entrepreneur Giovanni Licastro first thought of creating jewels inspired to the Christian religion. An art made of special words. An idea that came from a faithful man turning to other faithful men, proposing jewels that can speak to the soul and that can express the spiritual commitment of those wearing them in every moment of the day. The design behind each single jewel of the Amen Collection is accurate and amazing. The challenge was of course not easy. It was about finding a new and modern way to reinterpret a spiritual language based on each one’s inner reality, memories, hopes, the most secret longings, but also on the respect due to religion in all of its displays. A delicate operation then, which generated a brand unique in its genre.

Faith is a choice that comes from within, a wish to belong to something bigger and more precious. It is an individual and conscious experience, which leads us to our deepest part and at the same time to that universal love represented by God. Amen jewels embrace a larger concept of love, which can be towards one’s husband or wife, a partner, children, friends, towards everyone.

The choice itself of the name, Amen, comes from the will to convey the religious message through these fashion objects. It is a sound that anyone in any country of the world can easily recognize, and vehicle of a universal faith. Amen is a Hebrew word adopted by the Christian liturgy as final formula for prayers and hymns. Its meaning can be summoned up as ‘surely’, ‘in truth’, ‘so be it’, but the etymological shades of the word Amen are many and deserve an article of their own. In the New Testament, Jesus introduces the fundamental principles he expresses with such word, and in doing so, he underlined their truthfulness: ‘Amen, amen I say to you’ – meaning: ‘Truly I say to you’, ‘What I say is true and certain’.

Amen jewels come from accurate studies and revolutionary creative processes, made of fine selected materials, metals, real leather, freshwater pearls, Murano beads, rhinestones, hard stones, and the utmost care for all details. In particular, Amen bracelets and necklaces are characterized by the innovative magnetic steel closure, the engraving technique used to carve words, and the color codes. The motto of the company says: Faith is Fashion. All production phases are carried out in Italy.
