Frankie

Rooted in the Earth. Alive in the Forest. Naturally at Home in the Natural World.

The Frankie Bracelets Set is a grounded, elemental, completely alive piece that honors the most fundamental and most genuinely beautiful kind of connection: the connection to earth and nature — not the nature of the curated garden or the landscaped park, but the nature of the forest floor and the living soil and the particular, extraordinary world that exists beneath the canopy and between the roots, where the earth is dark and rich and completely, magnificently alive with everything that grows from it. Rich green, warm brown, and deep black beads come together in the three colors of the living earth — the palette of the forest, the colors of the canopy and the bark and the soil — in a bracelet as grounded, elemental, and completely alive as the natural world it was made to honor. Available in a 6 in wrist size.

Design & Materials

• Green beads — for the life and growth of a nature that is always, completely, and irresistibly alive; the rich, living green of the canopy and the undergrowth and the particular, vivid, completely real aliveness of a natural world that is always growing, always reaching, always becoming more completely and more beautifully itself — the green that is the most immediate and most completely alive sign that the earth is well and the growing is happening and the world is exactly as it was made to be
• Brown beads — for the warmth and rootedness of an earth that holds everything; the warm, rich brown of the bark and the soil — the particular, grounded, completely genuine warmth of something that has been here longer than anything else and will be here long after everything else has changed — the brown that is the most enduring and most completely real color of the natural world, the color of the roots that hold the tree and the soil that holds the roots and the earth that holds everything
• Black beads — for the depth and richness of the dark earth that makes all growing possible; the deep, rich black of the forest floor — the particular, extraordinary darkness of the most fertile soil in the world, the darkness that is not empty or absent but full — full of the particular, living, completely real richness that makes the green possible and the brown enduring and the whole, magnificent, completely alive natural world exactly what it is
• Wrist size: 6 in
• Elastic cord — strong, durable, non-fraying, and pre-stretched for a comfortable, latex-free fit
• Handcrafted with care by Amelia Heir Art Designs

The Meaning Behind It

Earth and nature — the most fundamental and most completely real kind of beauty in the world, because it is the beauty that does not need to be arranged or curated or made more beautiful than it already is. The earth is beautiful because it is completely, entirely, and magnificently itself — because the forest does not try to be more than a forest, and the soil does not try to be more than soil, and the dark, rich, completely alive earth beneath the roots does not try to be anything other than the particular, extraordinary thing it has always been: the ground of everything, the source of everything, the most fundamental and most completely real beauty in the world. The ones who love this beauty are the ones who are paying attention — who walk into the forest and feel, in the walking, the particular, grounded, completely genuine sense of being exactly where they are meant to be; who put their hands in the soil and feel, in the feeling, the most immediate and most completely real connection to the living world that holds them. Frankie is a bracelet for those people — the earth-rooted, nature-alive, completely and naturally at home ones — and for everyone who loves them and is made more grounded, more alive, and more completely, genuinely present simply by being in their company.

A perfect gift for autumn or any season that calls for celebrating someone whose love of earth and nature — deep, rooted, and completely their own — makes the natural world around them feel more alive, more beautiful, and more completely, magnificently worth paying attention to.
