Cafe Mocha Bracelet

For the coffee lover! I, of course, count myself among them. The history of this cafe mocha bracelet goes back to my days at George Brown College. I had decided to create a production line of coffee bean jewellery but, because there are no short cuts in school, I had to carve my coffee beans from scratch out of wax rather than simply casting a real coffee bean. My jewellery career has come a long way since those days but my coffee bean line has proved an enduring favourite with my clients!

Care Instructions:

• • Store in an airtight ziploc bag to prevent tarnish (included with purchase).
  • Sterling silver may tarnish if the piece is stored away and not worn for a while. To remove built up tarnish use the anti-tarnish cloth to rub it off (included with purchase). NOTE: Do not rub the cloth in the centre of the coffee bean as it will remove the blackened area that has been purposely oxidized. Also, ensure the cloth does not come into contact with the pearls.
  • Clean pearls with a dampened cloth only and let dry.
  • Follow the best practice for pearls which is “last on, first off” meaning put them on last after getting ready for the day and take them off first at the end of the day.
  • Do not wear in a pool, spa or hot tub as the chemicals may cause the silver to tarnish and they are too harsh for the pearls.
  • It would also be wise to remove the bracelet before performing any strenuous activity and before bed.
