Words to Keep: Meet the Bethany Nauert x Brave Daughters Charm Collection

Nothing lasts forever, but we can make sure to cherish people, moments, and things.

Brave Daughters is introducing a new JewelryTok collaboration with creator and jewelry connoisseur Bethany Nauert, a collection that turns those lasting words and symbols into something tangible.

A symbol that means more than it appears to. A promise. A person. A feeling you can't quite put into words—but somehow, you can wear it. 

After beginning the collaboration in January, the Bethany Nauert x Brave Daughters Charm Collection is now available. 

The result is a collection of eight charms divided between two distinct shapes: four heart motifs and four coin motifs, all featuring exclusive Brave Daughters artwork and details chosen by Bethany.

Each charm tells its own story.

The hearts are symbolic and playful, while the coins feel a little familiar—small objects carrying words that are meant to be held onto.

Together, they represent love, longing, remembrance, hope, and the little pieces of language that can become meaningful over time.

The Heart Charms

The four heart charms each pair a familiar symbol with a phrase or gesture that carries a deeper meaning.

Fingers Crossed Heart Charm

A tiny symbol of hope, luck, and wishing for the best. The kind of gesture we make without even thinking about it.

Forget Me Knot Heart Charm

A play on the phrase “forget me not,” transformed into a knot—a symbol of connection, remembrance, and the things we don't want to let go of.

LFG Heart Charm

For the moments when words don't need to be sentimental. LFG is energy, encouragement, excitement, and saying let's go to whatever comes next.

Pinky Promise Heart Charm

A childhood gesture that somehow still means everything. The pinky promise is simple, sincere, and almost universally understood: I promise.

Each heart is made in 14K gold plate over brass, with exclusive artwork created for the collaboration.

The Coin Charms

Then there are the coins.

Slightly chunkier than some of the charms in our collection, these round pieces are designed to feel like little tokens—something you might discover in a pocket, keep close, or wear as a reminder.

Each coin features handwritten words selected by Bethany:

“better”

“till death”

“if all goes well”

“always everywhere”

They're short phrases, but they leave room for interpretation.

Maybe “better” is a reminder that things can change.

Maybe “till death” speaks to devotion.

Maybe “if all goes well” holds a little optimism and a little uncertainty.

And maybe “always everywhere” is about the way someone can remain present even when they're no longer physically beside you.

Turning Grief Into Something Beautiful

At the heart of this collection is something much more personal.

Bethany created these pieces as a way to honor her late husband, Alberto.

The collection reflects something difficult and deeply human: the way love doesn't necessarily disappear when someone is gone. Sometimes it changes shape. Sometimes it becomes a memory, a phrase, a ritual, or an object you keep close.

Giving Back in Alberto's Honor

In honor of Alberto and the meaning behind this collection, 10% of proceeds from the Bethany Nauert x Brave Daughters collaboration will be donated to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), a nonprofit organization that is very close to Bethany's heart.

The donation gives the collection another layer of purpose: jewelry created from a deeply personal story can also help support others.

It's a way of carrying something forward.

The coins are made in 14K gold plate over brass and have a substantial, slightly chunkier feel that makes them especially good for styling on their own.

We're picturing them on a longer chain—something around 24 inches—where the coin has enough space to become the focal point of the look. Wear one alone, layer it with shorter necklaces, or build a charm story around it.

Eight charms. Two silhouettes. Four exclusive Brave Daughters artworks. Four meaningful phrases chosen by Bethany. And a collection created to hold onto the words, symbols, people, and feelings that stay with us.

Wear what means something to you. Available Now.
