"Things find their way back to each other," Elias said, placing the brooch in the box with the bracelet. "They are inseparable, you see. Da mesma coleção ."

"Da mesma coleção" (From the Same Collection) is a phrase often used in Portuguese to describe items that belong together—like matching jewelry, a set of books, or a series of artworks. It suggests a shared theme, origin, or aesthetic.
