Guzema invited Delilah Belle Hamlin to codesign her first jewelry capsule collection at the perfect time, the model told WWD. “I’m at a point in my life where I truly believe that what is meant for me will always find me. So, I jumped at the opportunity, feeling incredibly grateful and excited for it,” she said. The duo created the “Metamorphosis” collection, which debuts on Thursday and was described as a love letter to the early 2000s by the brand.
“I tapped into the nostalgic feeling that chokers from the early 2000s bring me,” Hamlin said. “I remember it was always a treat to go to Claire’s at the mall and pick out a few fun pieces of jewelry every now and then. I would cherish them and obsess over them, especially anything with butterflies or frogs! Who wasn’t obsessed with fun jewelry back then? And if you didn’t get to experience that, I’m here to bring it to you now in a slightly different, more elevated way.”

The collection features seven pieces, including a choker, earrings, ear cuff, bracelet and rings offered in 18-karat yellow gold and 18-karat yellow gold with diamonds.
“Metamorphosis” is also a way of celebrating Hamlin’s new era. The daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin has risen in the fashion world as a prominent model since signing with UTA and its influencer management company Digital Brand Architects in 2020. She has also invested in her career as a musician, releasing the single “Nothing Lasts Forever” in 2023, and as an actress, starring in “Mommy Meanest” (2024) and “How She Caught a Killer” (2023).
“Over the past five years, I’ve experienced a significant shift, almost like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. The caterpillar represents growth and the challenges that lead to transformation. That shift happened, and I feel like I’ve emerged as a butterfly, entering a new phase of my life, ready to fly. The butterfly wings in this collection are a nod to that,” Hamlin said.
As a jewelry designer, Hamlin’s mission was to blend “fun, sporty, comfortable, chic, delicate and bold elements.”
“Having creative freedom is amazing, but it can also be challenging because I have so many ideas! I get so excited and want to do everything, but obviously, I can’t create a thousand pieces (even though I wish I could!),” she said.
The “Metamorphosis” collection is now available at guzema.com.
