What is a curl?

As a verb, to curl is to form or cause to form into a curved or spiral shape.

And as a noun, a curl is something in the shape of a spiral or coil, especially a lock of hair.

So what is our Curl? This Curl is a cubic right angle weave tube that has been shaped so that it coils. It coils around a Prismatic Right Angle Weave core tube and the curl section forms the focal for the bracelet. Although fixed to the core tube at both ends, the Curl is in fact a free standing and self-supporting moveable coil around the core.

And as a noun, a curl is something in the shape of a spiral or coil, especially a lock of hair.

So, what is our Curl? This Curl is a cubic right angle weave tube that has been shaped so that it coils around a prismatic right angle weave (PRAW) tube. This Curl not only serves as a decorative pendant to the lariat, but it is also a clasp of sorts. Winding the curl around the PRAW tube will bring the 2 ends of the lariat together fastening them together. A small magnetic clasp is both ornamental as well as functional, to prevent the Curl from unwinding. Suspended from the internal PRAW tube is a beaded bead finial of luscious pearls.

The Curl is not just jewellery but is also a kind of fidget toy. Curl and uncurl your curl. Twirl it around. Play with it.

The Belle Époque era is a period in French history between 1890 to 1915 charaterised by optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity, colonial expansion, and technological, scientific, and cultural innovations. In particular, it was a time of increasing wealth and flourishing arts, literature, music and theatre. In contrast to the horrors of recent wars, it is often considered the golden age and a time when joie de vivre was experienced to its fullest.

Belle Époque jewelry encompassed three jewelry design periods: Art Nouveau, the Arts and Crafts movement and Edwardian. Precious metals like gold and platinum, thin fluid lacy lines, cloisonné enameling and gemstones feature prominently in Belle Époque jewelry. In particular pearls, especially cultured pearls, gained massive popularity.

La Belle Époque features a beautiful navette rhinestone encased in cubic right angle weave bezel. Cubic right angle weave fluid lines embrace luxurious crystal pearls. The pendant is suspended from a delicate pearl embellished cubic right angle weave collar.
