Be Constant:
A collaboration with Mikaela Lyons Jewellery

Being constant is to be firm and steadfast in resolution, you might describe an old friend as a constant if they’ve always been there for you.

Running can feel like an old friend, a constant in the way it lets you carve out space for your mind and body to feel alive or to put physical distance between you and any trials from that day, month, year. A constant way to make sure you sit with the elements each season, embracing discomfort, dark evenings and solitude.

Anything can be a constant, gardening, hiking, crafting things. Wear this jewellery on your wrist or footwear and with every step show up for whatever that thing is that makes you feel alive and connected to the world around you - be constant.

At the Intersection of Jewellery and Running

Throughout history, jewellery and sports have been deeply connected—not just as symbols of status or victory, but as personal tokens of passion, perseverance, and identity. From the earliest civilizations to the modern era, athletes have worn and cherished jewellery, not only as adornments but as tangible reminders of their journey.

In ancient Greece, Olympians were crowned with olive wreaths, a simple yet powerful emblem of triumph and honour. Roman gladiators carried amulets into battle, believing these small intricacies held the power to protect them from harm. In medieval Europe, knights wore engraved rings and medals, not just for prestige, but as symbols of loyalty and personal glory.

Over time, jewellery in sports has evolved from ceremonial awards to an integral part of an athlete’s personal style. Today, athletes are encouraged to express themselves, bringing individuality to their performance and pushing the boundaries of self-expression in competition. This year alone, both professional and amateur runners have embraced their achievements through bold race-day outfits and sentimental jewellery worn for the occasion. For many, a simple chain, a lucky bracelet, or a cherished pendant isn’t just an accessory—it’s a powerful reminder of where they’ve come from, who they are, and the ambitions they carry forward.
