About Marilyn Brățară

Marilyn este o brățară concepută pentru ocazii formale și semi-formale. Forma sa fluidă exprimă bucle și vânt de pe malul mării. Marilyn este realizată din aur reciclat de 14 karate, neplacat, cunoscut și sub numele de aur 585, în Sonkajärvi, Finlanda. Se folosesc tehnica turnării prin ceară pierdută și tehnici tradiționale de aurărie, iar suprafața este lustruită. Brățara urmează forma încheieturii și structura osoasă, astfel încât se potrivește într-un mod stabil și confortabil. Piesa poate fi modelată pentru a se adapta mâinii. Scopul este obținerea unei forme ample și spectaculoase, care totuși se simte ușoară la purtare.
