Margaret Thurman, who predominantly designs Echo, and Myoshin, her daughter and the creative behind Mars and Valentine both have intellects that can't be separated from their instincts.
'Margaret used to read me the Iliad and the Odyssey when I was three,' says Myoshin.
'Either that or Sherlock Holmes,' says Margaret. 'I'm not kidding.'
Both women and jewelry lines are as unpredictable as they are mysteriously familiar.
'When I look through your jewelry, I always feel like I'm really finding each piece,' I say to Myoshin.
