A year-end reflection for a year that didn’t go to plan
Look through the calendar, ask a useful question, and leave a little space for what is still unresolved.

Midnight Toast
Round bead bracelets · A design to customise
Black beads, clear quartz and one gold-tone star. A finer bracelet for the last evening of the year.

THE IDEA BEHIND THIS PIECE
Something to wear while the year changes
Midnight Toast is built around contrast. Glossy black beads make the clear quartz look brighter; the gold-tone star interrupts the pattern just once. The starting size is 6 mm, so the bracelet stays relatively fine even with a dark palette. Wear it to a crowded dinner, keep it on for the journey home, or put it beside the glass on a table set for two. Its New Year connection is a date you give the piece, rather than a promise about what the next year will bring.
A dark palette that catches the light
Clear beads are spaced through the black rather than collected into one large section. That gives the composition several points of light as your wrist turns.
One star, rather than a row of symbols
A single charm keeps the design focused. It can mark a plan you want to follow through, something you finished, or simply your preference for a bit of gold against black.

This palette works with a black sleeve, a silver-grey knit or a white cuff. Change the metal colour if your everyday jewellery is mostly silver-tone.
