'The Five'

The Garden Phoenix is a celosia study — thirteen years of specimens gathered and observed and pressed and preserved on this land. Each variety has its own character: the way it holds color, the architecture of its plume, the particular quality of light it catches at the end of a summer afternoon. Until now, the Garden Phoenix has lived in pendants. One medallion, one specimen, one piece of what the garden knows.

This bracelet is different. Five medallions on a single link bracelet, each holding a different celosia from the collection. It is not one piece of the garden. It is a garden you carry on your wrist — a portable archive, a wearable field study, five specimens in conversation with each other and with whatever is in front of them at any given moment. The link construction gives the bracelet a suppleness that lets the medallions catch the light at different angles as you move.

For the one who has never been able to choose just one — and was right not to.
