organica clay bead bracelet in earth

Adina and Conrad are the ceramic artists behind Of the Earth, based in Alberta, Canada. Their work is a co-creation with the earth, and is inspired by the natural textures, hues and formations that exist all around us. Their passion for the ancient world and for the history of ceramics inspires them to create pieces that not only reflect the earth, but mankind’s ritualistic relationship with clay for thousands of years. Dina and Conrad's dream was not only to sell ceramics, but to refine a lifestyle that had slowness at the forefront, and fulfillment at its core. Their education and experience seemed dormant, until they found the tangibility of ceramics.

For thousands of years, humans have been making clay jewelry, so Dina and Conrad felt almost as if they were entering an ancient world as they worked. Each bracelet features handmade ceramic beads, made from the same clay they use for their pottery. The beads are strung and tied on a stretch cord allowing the bracelets to be taken on and off. Dina and Conrad tried to emulate what it may have been like to create in the ancient world, injecting it into these pieces. Not one bracelet is the same, as the subtle imperfections show the human connection

The cordage is twisted to feature a loop on one end to tie the bracelet around the wrist or ankle. All bracelets are unique in their subtle imperfections in the beads and the cords. They are gender- and age-neutral and are created with the human connection at heart.
