Jewel of the day: Kochi Okada Silver Horse Head Bracelet

Kochi Okada designs and handcrafts her pieces. She notes about this piece, “This bracelet is labour of love. It has two horse heads with bayonet clasps. I carved the horse heads in wax first and then they are cast in silver, after which a bayonet clasp was added. Please note that because these are solid cast and not a hollow heads, they are pleasantly weighty. Here in the photos you will see bracelet with silver coloured pearls, 4,3 and 1.8mm. All pearls regardless of size are knotted. For those who are looking for something less classic than pearls, other options are possible, for example matt hematite beads or any other stones of your own choice.”

I like her description of it as “pleasantly weighty.” I originally thought the pearls were silver beads. I just like the way this piece comes together, materials and design. It available for USD $545. Okada is based in the UK, and all items ship from there.
