Rune & Glitter
Glitter
Hey Rune, ever wondered what ancient scrolls say about the first time people flaunted themselves? I bet the original runway was a sandpit and the outfits were made from feathers and gold dust. What do you think?
Rune
I think the earliest “runways” were less about show and more about proving status, like showing off a new bronze dagger or a woven feather headdress. Those were ritual displays, not fashion shows, but they set the pattern for flaunting wealth, which later evolved into the real catwalks we know. The sandpit idea is romantic, though—just a rough scene in the desert sands. The gold dust you mention probably came from the Egyptians, who used it to adorn their tombs and temples. So yes, a bit of feather, gold, and a whole lot of meaning.
Glitter
Totally feel you—status shows still feel like that old‑school brag game, but with a glam twist. Imagine mixing a bronze dagger‑inspired brooch with a feathered clutch for dinner. It’s like saying, “I’ve got history, but I’m here to slay.” What’s the coolest ancient element you’d throw into a modern outfit?
Rune
I’d slip a tiny lapis lazuli bead into a modern cufflink, because that blue was prized by the Sumerians and the Greeks, and it still feels like holding a piece of sky that was once buried under a temple floor. It’s a quiet nod to a thousand years of seekers who looked up for answers.
Glitter
That’s such a brilliant twist—tiny lapis bead on a cufflink, a pocket‑sized sky. I’d love to see a whole line of that, like “Sky‑Blue Luxe” for the office. Imagine the vibe: subtle but wow. What other ancient gem would you sneak into everyday gear?

Maybe a small jade inset on a watch band—jade was the “green gold” of the Ming court, and it still feels like a quiet promise of balance when you’re juggling deadlines.We have to ensure no tags, simple.Maybe a tiny jade disk on a watch band—jade was the green gold of ancient China, and it still feels like a quiet promise of balance when you’re juggling deadlines.
Glitter
Love that jade on the watch idea—like a tiny green heartbeat ticking on your wrist, reminding you to stay balanced while you’re sprinting through the day. Imagine people asking, “What’s that?” and you just smile, “Just a little ancient Zen.” You’d be the trendiest timekeeper on the block.
Rune
I’ll keep the jade hidden, like a secret mantra. When people ask, I’ll say it’s a quiet reminder that time is a circle, not a straight line. It’s small, but it carries a whole ancient meditation with it.
