Description
There is a quiet rhythm to this bracelet, a soft 14k gold filled or sterling silver chain flowing with luminous freshwater pearls, each one placed as if by the tide. The Nami Pearl Bracelet, named after the Japanese word Nami, meaning "wave," carries the calm movement of the oceans, with the alternating small and large pearls floating around the bracelet. The design moves easily with the wrist, glimmering like sunlight across still waves. It is meant to feel weightless yet deeply connected, a piece that reminds you of the beauty in ebb and flow.
- 3mm and 5mm freshwater pearls
- Pearls are evenly spaced at 1" apart
- 14k gold filled or sterling silver chain
- 1" chain extender
- Bracelet adjustable to 6.5" - 7.5" size
