Before you choose
A bracelet should clear the wrist bone with one finger of slack. Tennis lines wear closer; bangles need to pass the widest part of the hand.
Prongs on a wrist catch sweaters and door frames. Our tennis lines are bezel or half-bezel set for exactly this reason.
A tennis bracelet is only as good as its box clasp and safety eight. Open ours before you buy; it should close like a car door.
Mixed stones in one metal always work together. Matched stones in mixed metals rarely do.
The short answer
Freshwater pearl knot bracelets at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $920, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Irregular, luminous, each one its own shape. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. Metal tied the way sailors tie rope, a bond made visible.
Irregular, luminous, each one its own shape. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Hand-formed knots vary slightly, piece to piece. That variance is the signature, not a flaw.
Freshwater pearl is 3 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Measure the wrist and add three quarters of an inch for a bracelet, one inch for a bangle.
Tennis lines want safety clasps. Bangles want a hinge if knuckles run large.
It is the gift that says bond without saying rings. Friendship, sisters, mothers: the knot covers what words overstate.
Freshwater pearl is 3 / 10 on the Mohs scale. A bracelet meets desks and door frames all day. Bezels and inline settings survive; high prongs do not.
Freshwater pearl is the Jun birthstone and the traditional stone of the 30th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
Solid knots wear forever; hollow ones dent. Ours are solid and weigh like it.
Today, one work at $920. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
