Fright Flight

Something Moves in the Dark. Something Flies Across the Moon. Something Wonderful and Frightening and Completely, Magnificently Alive.

Rich purple, vivid orange, bright green, warm gold, deep blue, and midnight black beads come together in the most complete and most completely alive Halloween palette in the collection — every color of the season, every shade of the mystery and the magic.

Design & Materials

Purple beads — for the mystery and magic that are the deepest and most completely alive dimension of the Halloween season; the rich, deep purple of a night that is full of things that are not quite explained and not quite ordinary — the particular, extraordinary purple of the most mysterious and most completely alive hour of the most mysterious and most completely alive night of the year
Orange beads — for the warmth and vitality of a Halloween that is as vivid and as completely alive as the most vivid autumn night; the particular, warm orange of jack-o-lanterns glowing in the dark and autumn leaves catching the last of the light — the color that makes the mystery warm rather than cold and the magic inviting rather than frightening
Green beads — for the particular, eerie, completely alive green of the most magical dimension of Halloween; the vivid, otherworldly green of a magic that is as alive and as completely real as the most extraordinary thing you have ever seen on the most extraordinary night of the year — the green of the cauldron and the potion and the particular, vivid, completely alive magic that makes Halloween the most wonderfully mysterious night in the world
Gold beads — for the shimmer and warmth of a mystery that glows; the warm, luminous gold of candlelight and starlight and the particular, extraordinary shimmer of a Halloween night that is full of things that catch the light in the most unexpected and most completely alive ways — the gold that makes the mystery luminous and the magic warm and the whole, vivid, completely alive night more beautiful than frightening
Blue beads — for the depth and wonder of a night sky that is full of things in flight; the deep, clear blue of a Halloween sky through which things fly — bats and owls and the particular, extraordinary silhouettes of everything that belongs to the night — the blue that makes the mystery vast and the magic possible and the whole, wonderful, completely alive night feel as open and as full of possibility as the most extraordinary sky in the world
Black beads — for the darkness that is the source of all Halloween mystery and magic; the deep, rich black of a night that is not empty or frightening but full — full of the particular, extraordinary, completely alive mystery of a darkness that has always, on this one night of the year, been more alive and more full of wonder than the light

The Meaning Behind It

Mystery and magic — Fright Flight captures the most thrilling and most genuinely wonderful dimension of Halloween: the particular, extraordinary feeling of a night when the ordinary rules of the world are suspended and the darkness fills with things that fly and shimmer and move at the edge of what is visible and what is imagined. The fright is real — the particular, delicious, completely alive fright of something that startles and thrills and makes the heart beat faster in the most enjoyable and most completely alive way. And the flight is real — the particular, extraordinary flight of everything that belongs to the night: the bat that crosses the moon, the owl that calls from the dark tree, the witch on her broomstick who is gone before you can be sure you saw her, leaving nothing behind but the particular, vivid, completely alive sense that something extraordinary just happened and the night is more magical for it. Fright Flight is a bracelet for the ones who love this — who love the mystery and the magic and the particular, thrilling, completely alive feeling of a Halloween night when anything seems possible — and for everyone who loves them and is grateful, every October, for the particular, wonderful gift of celebrating the most mysterious and most completely alive night of the year with someone who loves it as completely and as joyfully as they do.

A perfect gift for Halloween, autumn, or any occasion that calls for celebrating someone whose love of mystery and magic — vivid, thrilling, and completely their own — makes the most wonderfully mysterious night of the year even more extraordinary for everyone around them.
