Once the endpoint of the maritime Silk Road, Trieste is a city steeped in multicultural exchange. The charms on this gold bracelet resemble ancient currency, stamped with a rough-hewn fleur-de-lis, unicorn, and scallops that telegraph bygone grandeur. Alternating charms feature scalloped mother of pearl insets, for flashes of iridescence. Julie designs and handcrafts to the standards of fine jewelry from her studio in New York.
