Page Neal, co-founder and lead designer at Bario Neal, shares her excitement about the collaboration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In a way, honoring the beauty and history of Philadelphia is what inspired our journey as a local jewelry maker over a decade ago. It\u2019s this shared passion with The Rittenhouse for celebrating local craftsmanship and preserving our community\u2019s vibrant arts scene that fuels our excitement for the future. We\u2019re thrilled to create completely custom, handcrafted heirlooms for both residents and visitors of Philadelphia, carrying on their personal legacies as well as that of our city in a truly meaningful way.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rittenhouse locket features design elements that pay homage to the hotel\u2019s connection to Rittenhouse Square, the park that inspired the property\u2019s placement and architectural vision.
