Proudly wearing one bracelet
My sister Sabina the artist. She doesn’t like that label, but it is time to call a spade a spade. For as long as I have known her, which is going towards half a century any year now, she had an eye for beauty and cool ideas. One day for example she saved a birch tree stem, cut it to the right size and used it in her room as a hanger for cloths and a speaker. I was envious.
She just got a job with the Australian embassy in Washington, so I am not sure how much time she will have to continue her S-capades, as she calls them: Beautiful handmade jewelery.
At the moment she has two unique modern lines:
Wrap Bracelets made by catching “a bit of fluid creativity” between a film of plastic and a thin layer of metal. Light, pliant, sparkly and each one is totally unique.
Above a picture of me proudly wearing one of her bracelets. One additional great aspect is, that they are created from recycled materials.
These are available at a couple of stores in New York City and Washington DC as well as on Etsy.

Knitted Stainless Steal Bracelets The Finnern family has a unique relationship to stainless steel, as our father was selling it to factories all over the Black Forest and beyond. He would say with a sparkle in his eye: Rostfreier Stahl der Glanz fuer’s Leben. Which translates somewhat into: Stainless steel, the shining for a lifetime.
Therefore it come as no surprise to me that my sister is using stainless steel wire in her work. These bracelet are knitted using stainless steel wire, jewelery beads and really big needles. The outcome is, in my only slightly biased opinion, fascinating and very unique. If you want some of these you have to ping her.
The fact that they are handmade and a lot of effort goes into every one of these, I think she is not asking enough money for them.
For sure much cooler than enything from Tiffany or the dreaded Shain company that does these awful radio commercials, where they claim that you now have a friend in the diamond business [them] just because you listened to their commercial. — NOT!
