Introducing the Sonder Collection

Nov 5, 2025

Sonder : the realization that every other individual one sees or connects with has a life as full and real as one’s own. In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.

Sometimes our lives only intersect with others for a brief, fleeting, ephemeral moment. A shared elevator, a metro ride through the city, in line at the grocery store. And sometimes, our lives become inextricably entwined. The invisible string that touches us all was the inspiration behind the Sonder Collection. 

Rutilated Quartz is a quartz variety which contains rutile inclusions that appear like small ribbons captured in the gem. These unique stones each tell their own story of our connectedness with one another. A story we need to hold onto now more than ever. The collection also features black spinel set in 14K white gold. 

The campaign was photographed in the San Diego Made Factory- the space that Chouette Designs now calls home. To book an appointment to visit our studio, email us at info@chouettedesigns.com or schedule an appointment here.
