“Bold, Soulful, and A Little Wild”

As a self-described jewelry “freak,” I’ve always held Pamela Love in extremely high regard…she’s one of my favorites.

Maybe it’s because her interest in folklore and all things celestial mirror both my and Free People’s aesthetic. Maybe it’s her appreciation for and practice of environmental responsibility that drew her to me.

Or maybe, it’s just that she makes incredibly special and emotional jewelry.

It should then come as no surprise that when I learned that she was designing a collection of jewelry exclusively for Free People–featuring custom-cut stones, freshwater pearls, and diamonds set in sterling silver–my heart actually fluttered.

We are so excited to share this collection of earrings, bracelets, rings, and pendants with you. Until your new favorite adornments arrive at your mailbox, read on to find out more about Pamela and from where this beautifully synergistic collaboration was born.

FREE PEOPLE: How did this partnership come to be? What made you want to collaborate with Free People?
PAMELA LOVE: I’ve admired Free People’s free-spirited, creative energy for years, and when the opportunity to collaborate came up it felt very natural. We both share a love for pieces that feel expressive, personal, and a little adventurous, so it was an exciting match from the start.

FP: You’ve said your jewelry comes from a place of storytelling. What story are you hoping to tell through this collaboration?
PL: This collection is about freedom, individuality, and self-expression. I wanted to capture that sense of discovery and creativity from the 1970s, when jewelry felt bold, soulful, and a little wild and reinterpret it for today.

FP: What are some similarities between the Pamela Love and Free People customer? Who do you imagine wearing these pieces?
PL: Both audiences gravitate toward jewelry that feels meaningful and wearable, but also has a distinct point of view. I imagine people layering these pieces with their own treasures, whether that’s vintage finds, heirlooms, or other handmade jewelry, to create something uniquely personal.

FP: A lot of your work incorporates astrological, celestial, or spiritual influences—did any of those come into play for this collection?
PL: The spiritual thread is always there in my work, but here it’s more subtle. The collection is less about literal symbols and more about channeling energy: freedom, power, and individuality.

FP: What other inspirations or motifs did you draw from for this collaboration versus your past work?
PL: I was really inspired by brutalist and mid-century silver design, Southwestern traditions, and the scale of 1970s Italian jewelers. Those influences, combined with a slightly bohemian, rebellious spirit, gave the collection its balance of strength and playfulness.

FP: Were there any materials or techniques you used here that differ from your usual process?
PL: I explored hand-carved stones in a new way for this collection, focusing on organic textures and sculptural silhouettes. The techniques feel a little rawer and less polished than some of my fine jewelry, and give a nod to my earliest jewelry collections, which really put me on the map.

FP: What special details of the collection are you most excited for people to see?
PL: The carved stone horns are really special. They’re bold and sculptural, but still easy to wear. I also love the irregular, hand-finished textures, which make each piece feel alive and one of a kind.

FP: How are you hoping people will wear these pieces? Any styling ideas you’re envisioning?
PL: I love the idea of stacking and layering: mixing these pieces with vintage silver, chunky rings, or delicate chains to create a personal story. But they also stand beautifully on their own; a single sculptural piece can make a strong statement.

FP: What are you most proud of or excited about with this collaboration?
PL: I’m proud that we created a collection that feels accessible while still maintaining the soul and craftsmanship of my work. I’m excited for people to make these pieces their own and carry them as part of their daily lives.
