By the numbers: Anthropologie partners with Maximal Art to create lucky charms
From the number of times Lindsay Lohan makes a court appearance in an inappropriate white dress to the number of days Kim Kardashian’s marriage lasted to the sequence of digits forked over by the cute boy you met at the bar last night — life bombards us with numbers.
But thanks to an exclusive collaboration between Anthropologie and Maximal Art, now you can wear the most important ones around your neck.
Originally used for sand casting signs, these vintage charms create the perfect centerpiece to make an endless amount of combinations representing your most beloved moments.

A fleeting thought entered my head to snarkily wear 867-5309, but it quickly vanished when I remembered the impossibility associated with erasing that chorus as a repeated on loop in my brain.

For those who wish to capitalize on the fast-approaching holiday season and use the new collection as a thoughtful gift idea, think about the date of an upcoming wedding, the birth of a child or other momentous life occasions, like perhaps the house number for someone’s first real estate purchase).
Besides numbers, the collection also features an array of other vintage charms, letters, stones, chains, and colorful feathers; all the unique options reminded me of digging through an extremely well-curated flea market. This collection will be live through the holiday season, so keep watching for exciting new little gems worthy of your exploration.
Hurry up and snatch these either online or at your local store because as with all things vintage — when they’re gone, they’re gone.
Zero is rarely a desirable digit.
