beads

elementary form in essence, the sphere is present from the tiny structure of the atom to the immensely large structure of the planets. without beginning or end, in perpetual movement, it expresses both infinity and permanence.

with the beads bracelet, le gramme reinterprets the iconic pearl bracelet.

Each piece of jewelry in this collection is entirely made of precious metal (925 silver and 750 gold) from the cable on which the beads are placed to the clasp with invisible screw thread. attached to the perception of weight and quality, le gramme worked with solid beads only, shaped in the mass in three diameters: 3mm, 5mm and 7 mm.

first two variations are made of 925 silver, the diameter of the beads varying the weight of the jewel:
- the polished 925 silver variation which reveals the mechanical shine of the precious metal.
- The brushed 925 silver variation which explores the optical illusion of the vertical brushing of each ball creating a horizontal reflection running through the entire object.

two additional variations in 3mm beads combine 925 silver with 750 yellow or red gold, the gold creating a precious break in the regularity of the bracelet:
- polished 925 silver with 1 ball or 5 balls in brushed 750 yellow gold.
- polished 925 silver with 1 ball or 5 balls in brushed 750 red gold.

le gramme also offers a version entirely in brushed 750 yellow gold with 3mm beads, cable and clasp in brushed or polished 750 yellow gold.
