The Marblehead Bracelet, inspired by the cotton Turk’s-head bracelet, is made of thousands of tiny pearls, tightly woven together, and clasped with a fourteen karat gold safety clasp. It took nearly two years to develop and perfect the construction technique for the Marblehead Bracelet.

Few places in the world have more sailing tradition than does Marblehead, Massachusetts, the Yachting Capital of America and the birthplace of the American Navy.

The Marblehead Bracelet reflects those traditions in its twelve strands of pearls and Turk’s-head knotting and, it is a tribute to the wonderful people of Marblehead, who were so kind and supportive of the designer, during her many years there.

Andréa Witherwax is the creator of the Marblehead Bracelet.
