Wellspring of Inspiration

Our name is inspired by a seventeenth century enamel slide bracelet painted with a stunning image that is presumed to be the Three Graces. Our logo and its imagery are based upon that bracelet’s poetic scene.

In Greek mythology, the Three Graces are the personification of joy, charm and beauty in human life and, indeed in all of nature. In some interpretations their attributes are beauty, gentleness and friendship. They are said to love all things beautiful and to bestow talent upon mortals. Together with the Muses, they serve as the source of inspiration in poetry and the arts. The Three Graces serve as our inspiration to bring to you all things exceptional.
