Annie and Kerry Xu are twin sisters who compete at the highest level in the sport of badminton as a women's doubles team.

They sent us drawings of complementary bird charms–a peacock and a phoenix. Bringing these charms to life was magical. In their own words: "The peacock and phoenix charms represent strength and beauty. We hope that they can help the people who wear them have their dreams take flight. We chose a warm and cool [gemstone] counterpart because that’s kind of how we see ourselves."
