Gold fill is not plating and it is not solid gold. A thick layer of 14k gold is pressure-bonded to a brass core, which is why it holds its color far longer than a plated piece.
Take it off for swimming, showering and the gym. Chlorine, salt water and sweat are what shorten the life of any gold fill or sterling piece.
Finding your size
Measure a bracelet you already own and like the fit of. If you don’t have one, wrap a piece of string around your wrist, mark where it meets, and lay it flat against a ruler. A tape measure is hard to hold flat against a curve, and it is where most sizing mistakes start.
This piece is made to a set length and does not adjust. The bead run determines the length, so the size you choose is the size it stays.
Available lengths
- 6.5 inches
- 7 inches
- 7.5 inches
Match a bracelet you already own and wear comfortably. If you don’t have one, measure your wrist and add half an inch. Each length above is the finished bracelet, not your wrist measurement.
If your measurement falls between two lengths, take the larger one. There is no chain to let out.
A rainbow baby is the one who comes after a loss. This bracelet says after the storm comes a rainbow in Morse code, spelled in beads, with a hand-finished rainbow-and-heart charm. It is worn by women carrying hope and grief at the same time, and it announces neither. Only she knows what it says.
How it reads
Each bead is a dot or a dash. Small spacer beads separate the letters and mark the word breaks, so the phrase is spelled out in full rather than suggested. We choose the dot and dash arrangement that gives you the most color. If you would rather have more metal than color, say so under Special instructions in your cart and we will build it that way.
Materials
925 Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Fill, with Japanese Glass Seed Beads and Vintage Glass Beads.
14k Gold Fill is not plating. It is a bonded layer of 14k gold over a base metal core, and it is substantially thicker than plating, which is what makes the difference in how it holds up. Every finished piece comes with a hallmarked gifted. tag stating the purity of the metal used.
Standard finishing is a spring ring clasp.
Made by hand
Every piece is strung by hand in our studio in Franklin, Tennessee. Many of the glass beads are vintage, so slight variation between pieces is normal and part of how they are made.
How it arrives
Every order arrives in an embossed gift box with a microsuede pouch, a polishing cloth and care instructions. Add a gift note of up to 25 characters under Special instructions in your cart. Multiple pieces ship in one box unless you ask for separate packaging under Special instructions in your cart.
Making and shipping
Orders are made and shipped within 1–2 business days. Production runs longer through the holiday season; the current time is on our shipping policy. Transit time is in addition to production time.
