PERSONAL BY DESIGN
Personal by Design is John Atencio’s approach to jewelry that reflects who you are—pieces designed to layer, mix, and evolve as your story unfolds. At the center is the Medallion Collection, a curated assortment of meaningful designs, each hand-sketched and carefully crafted to be worn your way. Begin with one piece that speaks to you, then build over time—adding symbols, initials, and personal details that make the look unmistakably yours.
BUILD YOUR STORY
Every medallion is designed to stand on its own yet truly comes alive when worn together. Choose pieces that reflect your identity, milestones, or connection—whether it’s an initial that feels like a signature or a Zodiac that speaks to who you are—then layer them at different lengths, mix metals, and add new designs over time. Each choice becomes part of a personal narrative, one that continues to evolve.
INITIAL MEDALLIONS
Initial medallions turn a single letter into a refined expression of identity. Crafted in 14-karat yellow or white gold and accented with pavé diamonds, each Initial reflects John Atencio’s balance of modern design and artistry. Wear one as a signature or layer multiple letters to represent names, relationships, or moments that matter.
ZODIAC MEDALLIONS
Zodiac medallions offer another way to tell your story. Each double-sided design is hand-crafted in 14-karat white or yellow gold, with one side featuring a diamond-set constellation against black enamel and the reverse revealing the zodiac symbol in polished and brushed gold with diamonds. Designed to be worn as a pendant or layered into your look, each piece offers two expressions - both deeply personal.
