These dice appear in necklaces, wallet chains, and earrings. Rings are accented with vivid enamel or encircled with gemstones in concentric layers. Designed in Italy, with solid gold available upon request, each genderless piece can be layered, or as a statement piece.

Co-founder Julia Lang explains in a statement, 'I wanted to incorporate the green motif that forms the core of the label, but the dice totem introduced elements of luck and chance, opening a new paradigm for the collection.' The outcome is pieces like the Pearl Green 4 Dice Necklace, a blend of symbolism and luxury. The collection's energy is amplified by its campaign star, Brett Gelman, bringing an unexpected edge to VEERT's blend of elegance and experimentation.

'Twins were due two days after redundancy so I started a tie business'
In late 2012, Patrick Dudley-Williams was three months away from being a director at Morgan Stanley (MS) and two days from his wife giving birth to twins when he was made redundant. One year later he was standing in his former employer's canteen selling ties at a gift fair. 'My wife looked at me bizarrely when I said I was going to start a tie company,' muses Dudley-Williams, founder of men's lifestyle brand Reef Knots. Even if he had a business 'with the most unpopular clothing item of all time", he recalls meetings in nondescript offices and remembering people's names who had standout ties. Colourful character clearly goes a long way and with his headstrong mantra that consumers have more ties than jeans in their wardrobe, the former stock broker turned entrepreneur also knew he would be operating in an uncompetitive British market. Read More: 'Our £30m success is due to mums making sure our children's food looked great' Thus, Dudley-Williams stood behind a table at gift fairs for nearly three years to get the business up and running. 'It helps that it hasn't been all plain sailing,' he admits. 'There was a phase when I first started, you turn on your website and hope people will come and it will all happen. Very quickly you realise that no one cares and you will have to generate interest, create a great product and persuade a consumer to spend £70 with you and not with every other brand in the world. 'It's a hyper competitive industry but people will always revert to who they know and that they will get value for money and quality.' Production started with a UK manufacturer before unforeseen issues saw a move to the tie mecca of Como, Italy — handmade from screen-printed silk and where Reef Knots remains to this day. His first website sale outside of family and friends came via human interaction when Dudley-Williams plucked up the courage to go up to a Hermès tie wearer in a pub with his business card. 'It reminded me that if you tell people about it they will come,' he says. The next morning he purchased three ties. Eighteen months after launching and a desire to keep selling after the gift fair season, Dudley-Williams teamed up with a business partner who made socks after a pop-up shop success in Putney. Following a £20,000 crowdfund, the pair found an old launderette with a bell on the door in Leadenhall Market. Online stock was kept in the basement while his office had a low roof where sitting down was the only option. When COVID hit, Reef Knot's business was 40% ties while 30% came from its London shop. The subsequent 70% revenue decline accounted for a 'traumatic period' but accelerated Reef Knot's pivot into a wider menswear brand. Read More: Meet Britain's 'king of billboards' who sold his business for £1bn 'I realised the creative side should come out of one brain and it isn't the vast majority of my year,' he says. 'It was part of the process of learning the business from scratch, a second degree via YouTube, packaging and Google (GOOG) advertising.' Despite the change from the City to the risk of a tie venture, entrepreneurship has been etched into his family's DNA and he figured that the corporate world would never be his final calling. While working in finance 20 years ago, Dudley-Williams had looked into buying some mirrored aviator sunglasses. He was soon earning more than his monthly salary after finding a distributor in China and selling via eBay. Other sellers soon latched on and he called it a day. 'When I was working in finance I travelled to the US a lot and saw how ties were branded differently,' he says. 'In the UK, it was a symbol of the corporate grind, heritage and stuffy brand messaging. I felt we could do something fresh and fun.' In 2014, ocean-inspired Reef Knots partnered with the Blue Marine Foundation which, says Dudley-Williams, has opened doors for the sustainability brand. With early tie designs featuring fish and sailing boats, the likes of Prince Harry and Richard Branson, the latter briefly to support the brand, have been seen wearing Reef Knots ties, while its swim shorts are made using recycled ocean plastic. A board member for seven years at the UK Fashion & Textile Association, Dudley-Williams says Reef Knots has sometimes been accused of not being a British brand, with its lifestyle products also made in Portugal. Read More: 'Why we set up a sustainable mobile operator to save people money' 'People could look a little closer at independents and realise the jobs they do for the economy in the UK,' he argues. 'The reality is that we don't have the developed manufacturing industry that we require to make things as British as we would like them. 'We always do things right and try to put the customer first and I will put our product in front of almost anyone in terms of quality and the way it is produced." Today, Reef Knots has one store in Salcombe, headquarters in Chippenham and a staff of six. From revenues of around £350,000 in 2015, Reef Knots is currently a mid seven figure business. 'We run a lean ship,' he adds. 'I sometimes look at these businesses and I don't know what these people do. We make products, we have operations and marketing. If you have good people with enthusiasm to learn you can get an awful lot done.' After 12 years, Dudley-Williams has also packed a lot in to survive and thrive as an independent clothing firm, a world away from having three children under the age of three and walking back to his old office to sell ties to former colleagues. 'I said to myself that if this was what I was going to do for a living then I can't be embarrassed to go back,' he says. 'There were moments where I asked myself if I had done the right thing. But I had to be all in on it.' Managing cash flow We are never surprised by pitfalls. Investors we speak to have been surprised at the level of detail in our cash flow numbers. The clothing business is a difficult game to manage with upfront costs for stock and cash flow is the number one thing to make you grow, as well as the returning customer base. Powering up growth I spent three hours looking at our Google Ads campaigns recently. I have used many agencies over the years, all have promised to turn water into wine and none have. To grow the fastest there are certain things as a founder that I need to master and understanding what drives our growth is a key part. Telling our story For a long time on social media we've had models walking in slow motion with their tops off. There is a place for that for a certain customer, but people also want to know what's behind the company. The best performing ads are ones where I am discussing our journey and challenges. It has been really valuable. Consumer promise Our job is to always over deliver for customers. We tell people our returns are processed in a week but we make sure it's done in a day. That way we are always beating customer expectations and that's how they become loyal. Ultimately that's what we are creating as a business.

Dog Believed Dead for 4 Years Found Alive at Shelter. But Her Family Faces New Challenges (Exclusive)
Albania Sofia Sagarra believed her dog Sugar was dead for four years, until a Florida shelter called and revealed Sugar was alive Sugar returned home in a viral TikTok, appearing severely malnourished and suffering from multiple health issues Now, Albania is focused on helping Sugar recover, but she's anxious about Sugar's fragile state and the uncertainty surrounding how and why she was abandoned before her returnFor four years, Albania Sofia Sagarra lived with the ache of loss, believing her dog Sugar was gone forever. Then, in a TikTok that swept across millions of screens, Albania was seen with tears streaming down her face as she clutched Sugar, the little dog she thought she'd never see again. 'I still can't believe it,' Albania tells PEOPLE. 'We were told she was gone forever.' The video's caption said it all: 'Miracles do happen.' In the short, grainy clip, Albania hugs Sugar tightly while her mother weeps beside her, both women overcome by the shock and joy of an impossible reunion. Back in 2017, Albania adopted Sugar from a Los Angeles rescue, welcoming the mischievous pup into her family. Sugar was always adventurous, a little escape artist with a knack for finding trouble. Four years later, in 2021, while staying with Albania's sister in Miami, Sugar slipped out of the house. Panic set in instantly, and the family launched a frantic citywide search, plastering flyers everywhere and flooding social media with pleas for help. 'People all over Miami were looking for her,' Albania says. 'We searched for her like we'd lost a family member, because we had.' Then, a few days later, a call came that would change everything. A man who'd seen the flyers claimed he'd witnessed Sugar being hit by a car, even describing how he picked her up and watched her take her last breath. 'He even took us to the spot where it supposedly happened,' Albania tells PEOPLE. 'There was nobody, but his story was so vivid, so detailed, we believed him.' Without a body, closure was impossible. The family mourned Sugar in a haze of confusion and heartbreak, not knowing what to hold onto or let go of. 'It was so hard to accept she was gone without seeing her,' Albania says. 'But what else could we do?' Years passed, and the pain dulled but never disappeared. Then, on an ordinary Sunday, everything changed. 'I got a DM on Instagram from Marianne, the woman who runs the L.A. rescue,' Albania says. 'She said, 'Sugar's been found. She's at a shelter in Florida. Call me immediately.' ' The woman sent a photo, and Albania didn't need a second look. 'I knew it was her,' she says. 'There was no question.' The shelter was closed for the day, so Albania barely slept that night and was at the doors first thing Monday morning. What she found was both joyful and devastating. 'She was a shell,' Albania recalls. 'She was so skinny. Her bones were showing. Her eyes were blank.' Sugar, who once weighed between 13 and 14 lbs., now weighed only 8. She trembled in Albania's arms, too weak to stand, too disoriented to recognize what was safe. 'She didn't even seem to know it was me,' Albania says. 'It broke my heart.' Some online criticized the shelter, but Albania is quick to defend them. 'The shelter did what they could,' she says. 'They found her outside. Someone dumped her like she was trash. They didn't even walk her in.' It wasn't a collar or a tag that saved Sugar: it was the microchip Albania had implanted years ago when she first adopted Sugar. 'People think microchips are GPS, but they're not,' she explains. 'They're a lifeline. An ID. That tiny chip saved her life.' What it couldn't reveal, though, was where Sugar had been or what she had endured. The list of medical issues Sugar now faces is overwhelming. 'She has kidney disease, heart disease, severe dental disease and malnutrition,' Albania says. 'She's very, very sick. We don't know if she'll make it.' To help cover Sugar's mounting medical bills, Albania started a GoFundMe, but the damage is more than physical. Sugar startles easily, flinches at sudden movements and panics when left alone. 'She's just ... not there anymore,' Albania says softly. 'She looks like she has dementia. Sometimes I think she doesn't recognize me.' The man who once declared Sugar dead never called again. No name. No explanation. Just a story that stole four years. 'He gave us 'closure' we didn't ask for,' Albania says. 'And she was still out there suffering.' Now, Sugar is finally home, but the homecoming brings new challenges. 'She can't be left alone,' Albania shares. 'She panics. My mom, my sister, and I rotate care. We make sure someone's always with her.' Every day is a balance between hope and fear. Sugar's life is now filled with vet visits, bloodwork, scans and medication trials. 'We're watching how she responds to treatment,' Albania says. 'If it helps, we stay the course. If not ... we'll have to make tough choices.' Among those choices is one that some might see as unconventional. But for Albania, it's one more way to try and understand. 'Next month, I've booked an animal communicator,' she says. 'Call it what you want, a psychic, whatever. But if she can help us understand what Sugar went through, I'll try anything.' In the description of their GoFundMe page, the family calls Sugar's return 'nothing short of a miracle.' 'Four years ago, we were told Sugar had been hit by a car and believed she was gone forever,' the post reads. 'But this past Sunday, we received an unexpected call from a shelter—Sugar is alive.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Donations have helped ease the financial burden, but what's touched Albania the most is the humanity. 'Strangers send us recipes, tips, love,' she says. 'They ask about her. They care. It restored something in me I didn't realize had been lost.' The future is uncertain. The damage to Sugar's body and maybe her mind may be permanent. 'We lost four years, and I'll never get that time back,' Albania says. 'But I have her now. I have today.' It's that thought that keeps her going. The small, fragile victories of one more hour, one more day. 'We give her everything we've got,' she says. 'I think she knows that now. At least I hope she does.' The bond between them, though battered by time and trauma, hasn't broken. If anything, it's become something even deeper. 'Sugar is proof that miracles can happen,' Albania says. 'Even when hope is gone. Your fur babies love you. You're all they have.' Read the original article on People
