243 | The Wayfarer Cuff

We have a theory that pearls have been far too well behaved for far too long. They’ve attended the weddings. They’ve sat politely at dinner. They’ve been passed down with instructions about when—and when not—to wear them. The Wayfarer has other plans. Irregular freshwater pearls are individually knotted with flashes of turquoise thread onto hand-cut cognac leather—the sort of leather that looks better with a scratch, a story, and absolutely no explanation for where it’s been. Three pearl circles wind around the wrist, appearing one after another as the leather overlaps. No two circles are quite alike because neither pearls nor people worth knowing tend to be. Two sets of snaps provide an adjustable fit, cleverly hidden once the cuff is closed. Made slowly. Made by hand. Slightly eccentric. Entirely intentional. For pearls that finally decided to go somewhere.
