This Baroque Pearl Gold-Filled Bracelet is handmade by Andrea Li: freshwater baroque pearls set alongside a 14K gold-filled open circle and a hand-fabricated 12 gauge gold-filled wire circle with a diameter of 1¼″, all carried on a hand-fabricated 10 gauge gold-filled wire cuff bracelet. Part of Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry built to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

Baroque pearls are the irregular ones, each shaped differently by the way the oyster grew around the nucleus during cultivation. That irregularity is not a flaw. It is what makes each pearl unrepeatable and what gives the piece its organic, unhurried quality. The 10 gauge wire cuff is heavier than a standard bangle, shaped and finished by hand in the Denver studio before the pearls are ever set, so the structure holds its form whether worn on its own or stacked with other pieces from Aglow.

Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and they ask for a little care: put this bracelet on after lotion and perfume, take it off before washing your hands, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth when you remove it. Store it away from harder stones that could scratch the nacre. Treated that way, the luster holds for years of real wear.

One of a kind. When it sells, it is gone. Explore more in the Aglow collection or read the pearl gemstone guide for more on how nacre forms and what sets one pearl apart from another.

This 14K Gold-Filled Graduated Two Pearl Bangle is handmade by Andrea Li: a hand-fabricated 12 gauge 14k gold-filled bangle set with two graduated freshwater pearls -- an 8-8.4 mm grade-A pearl paired with a smaller 4.5-4.8 mm grade-A pearl -- from Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry built to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

The graduation is the whole point. The larger pearl anchors the composition and the smaller one echoes it, close but not identical, so the eye moves between them naturally. Both pearls are grade A, chosen for their luster and smooth, even nacre -- the qualities that register as quality without requiring explanation. The 12 gauge 14k gold-filled wire is heavy enough to hold its round shape through daily wear and light enough to feel like nothing on your wrist.

Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and they ask for a little care: slide this bangle on after lotion, perfume, and sunscreen, take it off before washing your hands, and wipe it with a soft cloth when you remove it. Stored away from harder stones and metals, the nacre holds its luster for years.

Sizing: Small = approximately 7 1/2 inches; Medium = approximately 8 1/4 inches; Large = approximately 8 5/8 inches.

How to Determine Your Bangle Bracelet Size

1. Close your fingers together, bringing your thumb and little finger together (as though putting on a bangle).

2. Using a strip of paper or measuring tape, measure around your closed hand at the widest point, pulling the tape snug against your skin. If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark the paper with a pen, then measure the strip with a ruler. This is the circumference of your hand. Match your hand circumference to your bangle size below.

   >>> Small = Approximately 7 1/2’’

   >>> Medium = Approximately 8 1/4’’

   >>> Large = Approximately 8 5/8’’

This Single Hammered Gold-Filled Stacking Bangle is handmade by Andrea Li: a hand-fabricated 12 gauge gold-filled wire bangle with a gorgeous hammered texture. Part of Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry built to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

The hammered finish is not a coating or a print. Each strike of the hammer against the 12 gauge gold-filled wire work-hardens the metal slightly, setting the texture into the surface permanently and giving the bangle a quiet, organic movement that catches light differently at every angle. The result is a piece that looks handmade because it is, and holds its shape under real wear because the wire is heavy enough to keep it.

Stacking bangles work because they are minimal on their own and layered together, and this one is made for both. Wear it alone as a single clean accent or stack it with other Aglow pieces, mixing metals and textures, letting the hammered surface read against smooth or softer finishes. Unlike gold-plated bangles, a gold-filled wire bangle carries a substantial layer of karat gold bonded to a base metal core, so the surface holds up through daily wear without fading at the edges.

This Sculptural Gold Illusion Three Pearl Cuff Bracelet is handmade by Andrea Li: handcrafted 14k gold-filled 10 gauge wire sculpted to perfection with one 8.4mm Freshwater pearl nestled within the curves. Two smooth, high-luster pearls sit at each end to offer visual interest and comfortable wear.

The cuff reads as a single fluid gesture, the heavy 10 gauge wire holding its shape so the center pearl floats inside the sculpted curves like it was caught mid-motion. It is barely-there architecture for the wrist, made to be worn solo as a quiet statement or stacked into a layered arm party. From Aglow, her modular collection of naked jewelry meant to be lived in.

I work with high-luster freshwater pearls because the surface is what reads as quality up close, and luster is the trait that lasts. A pearl is soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, so I keep it away from perfume, lotion, and hairspray, wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing, and store it flat rather than tossed in with harder stones. Treated gently, the cuff is an everyday piece you can reach for without worry.

This 14k gold-filled 2 pearl open twist bracelet is handmade by Andrea Li: a 14k gold-filled flex tube bracelet in an open twist form, set with two freshwater 9-10mm grade-A pearls. It is part of Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry built to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

The twist keeps the piece from looking too classic pearl. The open form and the flex tube construction mean it sits naturally on the wrist, moves with you, and reads as modern without trying too hard. Two large, grade-A pearls at 9 to 10mm: that is a size you can actually see on the wrist, lustrous and round, framed by the twist of gold rather than strung end to end on a chain.

I choose grade-A freshwater pearls for luster and surface quality, which is what separates a pearl that stays beautiful over years of wear from one that dulls quickly. Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, so I put them on last, after lotion and perfume, take this bracelet off first, wipe it with a soft cloth, and store it flat rather than tossed in with harder stones. The 14k gold-filled construction holds up to daily wear in a way plated alternatives do not.

Handmade and collectible.

Elegant Open Circle Pearl Hand Cuff: A Statement Fashion Accessory

Discover elegance redefined with our Statement Large Open Circle Single Pearl Hand Cuff, a must-have accessory that effortlessly marries minimalist design with a touch of sophistication. This exquisite piece promises The Statement Large Open Circle Single Pearl Hand Cuff is handmade by Andrea Li: hand-fabricated 14k gold-filled large open-circle with high-luster 8.4mm freshwater pearls set to be suspended for illusionary effect. The cuff measures 8 1/2 total inches in diameter with a hook closure for easy, independent wearing. It is part of Aglow, her collection of gilded, barely-there pieces built to be worn and stacked without a second thought.

The illusionary suspension is the whole point. The pearl does not sit on the metal; it appears to float inside the open circle, held just enough to move with the wrist. It is a piece that earns a second look -- the kind of wrist detail that reads as composed from across the room but reveals itself slowly up close.

I work with high-luster freshwater pearls because luster is what reads as quality at close range, and it is the quality that lasts. Because pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, I recommend putting the cuff on after lotion and perfume, wiping it with a soft cloth after wearing, and storing it apart from harder stones. That is the whole care routine.
