Tapered Slide Bracelet - Silver
A lyrical spiraling shell bangle that invites exploration from every angle. The negative and positive spaces share a soft brushed finish, while the triad of undulating spirals creates a triangle-shaped silhouette that sits beautifully on the wrist. Striking alone, the piece makes a stunning stack when nestled in layers of silver, black, and gold — ebbing and flowing into a natural rhythm.
Cast in sterling silver using the lost-wax method, the bangle begins as a wax model hand-carved at the bench. The latest addition to the Slide Series, the design pays homage to Isamu Noguchi's Slide Mantra sculpture — a work that functions as a playground slide. Noguchi believed play could lead to a deeper appreciation of sculpture, and the bangle carries that joyous spirit into wearable form.

FAQ
What is the Slide Series?
A series inspired by Isamu Noguchi's 1986 sculpture Slide Mantra, a lyrical work that functions as an actual playground slide. Noguchi believed play could lead to a deeper appreciation of sculpture, and the series carries that belief into wearable form.
Can this be stacked with other bangles?
Yes. The undulating spirals nestle naturally with other bangles, creating a layered rhythm. Combining materials — silver, oxidized silver, and gold — produces the most striking stack.
Should I choose the oxidized or non-oxidized finish?
The non-oxidized version reads bright and lets the brushed surface catch light directly. The oxidized version offers a moody contrast in the recessed areas. Both will mellow naturally with wear.
