The deeper story

Industry Insight

Most bracelets fasten around the wrist, but the bangle skips that entirely. Its rigid, unsegmented ring with no clasp is passed over the hand. Other bracelets are designed to clip around the wrist and usually have movement via links.

Visually Speaking

Garlands, bows, swags, foliate scrolls, open latticework: those are the Edwardian signatures. The vocabulary came from eighteenth-century French decorative arts and got rendered in platinum with a lightness the originals never had. The result was jeweled lace, and it still reads that way today.

Made With Purpose

Changing the direction of the motion required to open the clasp, lateral rather than pressing, is how the slide box clasp solves accidental release.
