Foundrae’s New Collection Taps Into Joy
The “Limitless Expansion of Joy and Hope” collection evokes summer through colored gemstones and motifs of butterflies and florals.
Foundrae’s “Limitless Expansion of Joy and Hope” collection centers on color and the dispersion of light with new medallions, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings.
New York—Foundrae has released its latest collection for summer, filled with color and motifs of butterflies, florals, and sparrows.
The brand said the “Limitless Expansion of Joy and Hope” collection was inspired by the idea that joy, love, and beauty exist in an infinite supply.
“Long road trips to the beach with the window open, listening to your playlist and daydreaming. Knowing that there are still beautiful things in this world available to us in a limitless supply feels magical,” said Beth Hutchens, founder and designer of Foundrae.
“There is no such thing as too much joy, or too much laughter. Living in the movement, with a sense of spontaneity, enjoying simple pleasures; spreading hope and love just by existing. Staring into a sun so bright and pure that there is a dispersion of colored light, flashes of rainbows.”
This dispersion of colored light is seen in the new “Element” pieces featuring amethyst or sky-blue topaz, which play with light and play into a summer 2026 jewelry trend—big colorful beads.

This “Element” extension necklace with onyx and 18-karat yellow gold holds three medallions, from left to right, the “Balance,” “Love Knot,” and “La Loba Claw” ($24,950).
Butterfly and floral motifs—which have been everywhere this spring—are at the heart of the medallions in this collection.
The collection focuses on Foundrae’s “Reverie” and “Resilience” tenets, which are symbolized through these motifs.
Both tenets serve as a reminder that beauty, joy, and love are boundless, inviting a sense of spontaneity, presence, and an appreciation for the quiet magic found in everyday moments, Foundrae said.
The butterfly is the brand’s symbol of an inextinguishable soul, while florals embody the idea of pursuing a life filled with blossoms that continue to bloom, even in darkness.
Sparrows represent the choice to hold onto hope.
Nods to items typically associated with summertime are used in the collection as well, like the “Wind Chime” earrings.
A mixed link “Charmed” bracelet centering on a “Reverie Framed Butterfly” medallion in 18-karat yellow gold with amethyst and diamond accents ($20,450)

The Limitless Expansion of Joy and Hope collection debuted May 1 with 30 new styles, including medallions, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings.
It retails from $990 to $22,000.
The collection is available online on the Foundrae website and in-store, including at the brand’s newest location in Aspen, Colorado.
