$30,000 Bracelet Wraps Itself Round Your Wrist
October 15, 24
(IDEX Online) - It's the gold bracelet that wraps itself around your wrist - saving you the trouble.
It's made of 18k yellow and white gold, it costs just over $30,000 (€28,000) plus VAT, and its standout feature is an ingenious no-battery mechanism that's triggered by the weight of the wearer's wrist.
It coils itself around the wrist and positions the lock, ready to be snapped shut with the press of a finger.
The Bracelet That Comes Alive "not only lifts itself automatically around your wrist, but also finds its own closing position," according to The Contrast Club, a family-run company in southern Finland.
"It's not just a piece of jewellery, but a conversation starter-a bracelet with motions so unique, it inspires fascination in all who see it at work."
Co-founder Suvi Ellila said: "With each collection, I aim to tell a different story and push the boundaries of physics."
The Bracelet That Comes Alive is part of the company's Lepidoptera collection of interactive jewelry, which also includes a Moth Ring that delicately flutters and a Caterpillar Earrings that curl when touched.
