Logan Hollowell’s new collection stems from the L.A. jewelry designer’s interest in holistic wellness, which her partner on the capsule, Venice Beach, Calif.–based chocolate company Alice Mushrooms, promotes through the purported health benefits of psychedelic mushrooms.
“We share a deep passion for these incredible healing beings,” Hollowell tells JCK. “The idea of creating something that celebrates the connection between the natural world and its healing powers, both physical and spiritual, felt so aligned. We wanted to bring that passion to life through art, and from there, this collaboration was born.”
The LH x Alice collection expands on the attention-grabbing necklaces Hollowell created for Alice’s founders, Lindsay Goodstein and Charlotte Cruze, who are personal friends of hers. It offers necklaces, a few different earring styles, and a bracelet in 14k yellow, white, or rose gold with diamonds.
“Our goal is to share the magic of mushrooms and the way they invite us to connect with ourselves, the earth, and the healing properties of psychedelics, which are becoming more widely accepted,” says Hollowell, who traces the collaboration back to one of the times she, Goodstein, and Cruze were “hiking in Santa Monica—one of our favorite things to do in Southern California—[and] we started talking about mushrooms.”
“Jewelry is such a beautiful way to carry energy with you throughout the day,” says Hollowell. “When you wear something that resonates deeply with you, it boosts your confidence and helps you show up as the highest version of yourself.
“I believe everything holds energy, and when you wear something that has meaning, it aligns your own energy with it. That positive energy reflects outward, creating a ripple of good vibes.”
LH x Alice pieces would make excellent holiday gifts for loved ones, but any of them is also an ideal self-purchase—especially post-election and during the holiday rush, when life can feel chaotic.
“Right now is such a pivotal time,” Hollowell says. “We’re being asked to focus on the change we want to see in the world. For me, that’s peace and unification. It’s a moment for us all to trust the universe—to believe that everything is working out for our highest good. Surrender to the flow and be the change you want to see.
“It’s so important to approach each other with respect, especially when we disagree, and to embrace differing opinions as part of the beautiful diversity of life. Ultimately we have to trust that we’re all in this together.”
