"The Seasons Collection is a continued exploration of color, initially inspired by the paintings of Etel Adnan and further propelled by our look into the works of Hilma af Klint and our enduring love for Marc Chagall’s The Four Seasons mosaic.
We began designing this collection first with attention to color. Giving a nod to nature and the temporality and anticipation of growth, we created two palettes: Perennial, a palette to capture the wonder of the outdoors, a sense of gratitude and fullness; Annual, packed with competing bold and uplifting colors, the fruition of our creative energy, optimism and imagination.
Altogether, Seasons is a layering of sentiments and perspectives marked by this unusual time of varied yet shared experiences.
Color Palette
Perennial – a predominantly green and blue palette composed of 10 different colors, grounded and all-encompassing.
Design Concepts
Habitual – a thoughtful and carefully meditated balance.
Details
Length – 32-36", adjustable
Materials – Japanese Miyuki matte glass beads, 14k gold-filled rounds, silk cord
How to Wrap
Pull the round bead along the length of the unbeaded segments of cord to extend the piece by 4 inches. Begin wrapping the bracelet around your wrist. After slipping it over your hand a fifth time, pin the tassels down in your palm and adjust the sliding bead back in with your other open hand." - Abacus Row
