Round bead bracelets · A design to customise
Mostly clear quartz, short sections of black beads and a silver-tone disc. A cool palette with a definite rhythm.
Move the dark beads, change their number or choose a different charm. Keep the clear-and-dark palette or make a version with more colour.
AI design concept. The studio records your chosen composition; physical proportions, materials and availability are confirmed before making. No payment is taken here.
Materials & care
Our metal direction is electroplated stainless steel. Stone specifications, treatments, connectors and final finish are confirmed with physical samples.
Length & fit
The starting bead size is 8 mm. Change bead sizes and your wrist measurement in the studio. Final fit is checked before making.
After you submit a design
We discuss materials, pricing and delivery by email before you decide to proceed. If you have a date in mind, confirm timing with us first.
Harbour has more clear space than dark colour. Short pairs of black beads sit between longer runs of quartz, and a silver-tone star disc marks the front. The contrast brings to mind winter water and a dark shoreline, which is where the name comes from. It can also be a way of thinking about what you return to: a place, a person, a routine that makes the day feel recognisable. Those are associations you can bring to the piece, rather than qualities the stones are said to produce.
Light leads the composition
The clear beads take up most of the starting palette. Black is used in small blocks, so it gives the bracelet structure without taking over the whole wrist.
A cooler finish
The silver-tone disc follows the winter palette. Switching it to gold makes the same stone combination look warmer, a useful comparison to try in the studio.

The 8 mm starting beads make the pattern easy to see. Wear it with grey or navy, or reduce the bead size for a finer line.
