Ophelia Eve’s Toggle Pendant Holds Your Secrets
The “Scroll” toggle pendant, our Piece of the Week, opens to reveal a hidden message, mantra, or love letter written on washi paper.
A personal archive, a secret story, a quiet ritual of remembrance and self-expression. That is how Ophelia Eve describes its “Scroll” toggle pendant.
The pendant, our Piece of the Week, was designed to be a deeply sentimental piece, as it holds and protects a washi paper scroll with one’s private message, mantra, or love letter to themselves written in calligraphy.
Co-founders Samantha and Beth Yorn looked to emotional jewelry throughout history when creating this brushed 18-karat yellow gold piece with diamond accents.
“We’ve always been drawn to the symbolic practices and meanings embedded in Victorian jewelry—not just for its ornament, but for its intimacy. Many of those pieces were designed to carry something inward: a message, a name, even a lock of hair—something quietly significant to the wearer,” said Samantha.
The silhouette draws from the toggle form, which gives it a modern feel, while the scroll is a nod to the past.
“It also reflects something I think about often, which is jewelry as a vessel of time—not just marking a movement, but carrying it forward and allowing it to evolve with you. What you write may resonate one way when you first place it inside, and [become] entirely different years later,” she added.

Inside the “Scroll” toggle pendant is a message handwritten in calligraphy on washi paper.
The 18-karat yellow gold pendant’s components unscrew so it can be worn in multiple ways. Seen right is the pendant with the inverted diamond-set ends screwed directly on the center without the brushed gold tubes
The toggle pendant has a modular construction where the inverted diamond-set ends and the brushed gold tubes unscrew from the center, allowing the piece to be worn in multiple ways.
The personalized scroll is held inside the tubes.
The scroll uses traditional Japanese washi paper for its soft texture and durable plant-based fibers, explained the brand.
Samantha chose a short phrase from a Joni Mitchell lyric as the message on her personal Scroll toggle pendant.
“It takes me back to such a joyful moment and wearing it feels like a sweet secret I have with myself. I wanted to choose something that embodies a feeling I always want to keep close,” she said.
“I also love the idea of eventually creating one with a small handwritten note from my partner or best friend—something even more personal, entirely one of one.”
She also loves when people are drawn to short, more mysterious phrases for their secret messages written on the scroll.
The Scroll toggle pendant retails for $11,720, or $15,720 for the pendant on an 18-inch large cable chain, which is how it is styled at the top of the article.
It is available on the Ophelia Eve website.
The brand will also be exhibiting at Couture in Las Vegas next month and can be found in the Design Atelier at booth DA26.
