CHEYENNE TOBIAS

✦

Jewelry as an experience.
Soulenne as a state of being.

My relationship with jewelry began with my grandmother, Sol. She hand-sculpted jewelry for our family, choosing stones not only by birthstone, but by the personalities she saw in each of us. She taught me that jewelry could be a way of seeing someone.

My mother, Queenie, a belly dancer who created her own costumes, taught me to see adornment as an extension of the body, movement, and spirit. Growing up in the Philippines, I experienced adornment as something deeply connected to identity, indigenous traditions, and craft.

These influences shape how I create today: intuitively, by hand, working with crystals, beads, metal, stone, light, and form to give feeling a physical presence.

I don’t begin with a design. I begin with you.

Your story, your feeling, your vision become part of the making. Each piece takes shape through this exchange, becoming an expression of something uniquely yours.

Soulenne is an exploration of adornment as something felt, not simply worn. Quiet, personal, and ceremonial, each piece invites you to slow down and experience yourself differently.
