Bracelets

Each bracelet is strung by hand in Pittsburgh in small batches. The designs pair freshwater pearls — Baroque, Edison, Coin and Biwa — with natural stones such as garnet, rose quartz and sunstone. Pearls are chosen for luster first, then for shape and spacing. Clasps, chains and extenders are 18K PVD titanium steel, finished in gold or left uncoated, a finish that resists water and tarnish far better than standard plating. We tested it in salt water for eight days; the results are in Salt, Water, and Eight Days.
