After their first collection was a smashing success earlier this year, celebrity-loved jewelry brand Catbird and Jenny Slate have teamed up on four new styles. While their debut collection was inspired by motherhood and childhood memories, the newest capsule, which launched Friday morning, is a “tender ode to childhood baubles, the passage of time, heartbreaks, and enduring love,” a press release states.

The four-piece lineup consists of the Beloved Heart Spinner Charm, a timeless love token inspired by Victorian and Georgian pieces and designed to be passed down through generations, the Rosette & Pearl Gold Necklace, made out of delicate 14k gold and featuring soft pink pearls, the Rosette Gold Bracelet and the engravable Beloved Heart Ring, where you can inscribe initials of your choosing.

“I just think that everyone knows that if you bring someone a flower, it means you care,” Slate says about the rose designs scattered throughout the collection.

In honor of the collaboration, the Catbird Giving Fund made a $20,000 donation to Planned Parenthood.

Meanwhile, the original eight-piece collection is also still available on the website, with many pieces finally back in stock after quickly selling out upon launch. The pieces are inspired by the emotions and memories attached to jewelry, with each piece drawing on notions of heirlooms and generational traditions that evoke childhood memories. The Entwined Braided Chain necklace takes inspiration from the person who taught us to braid our hair;. the Beloved Heart Spinner Charm, made popular in the Victorian era as a physical reminder of one’s love for another, is reminiscent of love tokens you bought and shared with friends growing up; and The Button of Admiration charm calls to mind your mom’s antique drawer of buttons lost off loved and worn clothing.

“A lot of the pieces are based off my own grandmother’s jewelry,” Slate said in a campaign video for the original collection. “There were a lot of braids and bells, things that gesture toward interactions and connection. I want it to be lightweight enough that I might not even notice it but glittering enough that it will catch my eye — just nice to have a tiny bit of magic.”

“Jenny contains all the wonderful, keenly felt tenderness one could imagine,” Catbird creative director Leigh Plessner said in a statement, adding that when she asked the comedian, a longtime customer of the brand, if she wanted to make jewelry together, “her answer came with all the joy you’d hope for.”

“And then on a snowy day,” she continued, “when New York was quiet and still, we played Jenny’s favorite music, and photographed her wearing vintage Versace, pale blue silk and the collection we made together.”
