Pearls with a twist. Our alligator clasp adds an unexpected surprise to classic baroque pearls. Modeled on a vintage original, the clasp is cast and plated by artisan workshops in Rhode Island. All of our metal parts are plated with 24kt gold or sterling silver. They are finished with a variety of materials to increase durability~ including e-coat, lacquer, and hand antique.
The original parts, however, come from many places and from tools that have been in use for decades. Given that, a range of finishes (brightness, darkness, etc.) is to be expected, and in fact is part of what makes JW/MA unique! Our chain bracelets have a standard length of 7 34 -8 12, this measurement is end to end- including the lobster claw and end rings.
Most bracelets come with 2 end rings making the piece slightly adjustable.

Inspired by classic signet rings, which were originally worn as a sign of stature.
Today they still serve as a form of ID, but with a little more fashion in the mix.
The oversize bezel, mixed metal finish, and contrast between the traditional script initial and the hammered gold casing all help make this ring (and you) stand out!
The initial coins are hand-pressed in a New England jewelry factory that has been making them since the original heyday of sororities in the 1950's, hence the name.
John rediscovered them over ten years ago, and they have since become our signature design, featured on Oprah's O List and worn by thousands of fans nation-wide.
