About Marilyn Bracelet

Marilyn est un bracelet conçu pour les occasions formelles et semi-formelles. Sa forme fluide évoque les boucles et le vent au bord de la mer. Marilyn est réalisé en or 14 carats recyclé et non plaqué, également appelé or 585, à Sonkajärvi, en Finlande. La pièce est produite par fonte à la cire perdue et selon les techniques traditionnelles de l'orfèvrerie, avec une surface polie. Le bracelet épouse la forme du poignet et la structure osseuse, ce qui procure un maintien stable et confortable. Il peut être ajusté afin de s'adapter parfaitement à la main. L'objectif était d'obtenir une forme ample et spectaculaire, tout en restant légère à porter.
