Wreath Bracelet
$440

A random pattern of medium stainless steel florets handfolded origami style are set on a stainless steel chainmail bracelet with 2mm fresh water pearls set in the center. Hook clasp. Approximately 1.5 inches wide. Adjustable length from 6"-8". Custom sizes available by special order. Delicate looking, but very resilient and wearable. The florets are folded several times so there are no rough edges to catch on clothing or to fray over time. The stainless steel material will not tarnish over time and is hypoallergenic.

Wendy Hacker-Moss

Wendy Hacker-Moss has been designing jewelry for as long as she can remember but has really been making her mark in the world of metal and jewelry for the past 10 years.

Wendy's current collection has been worked out with a little help from her sister Elisa "tinkerbell" Moss. Together they have been able to figure out what works and what doesn't in regards to function and design. "Elisa is my official tester, if she can wear it for 3 months straight, that's equal to the wear of one person's lifetime." Elisa used to sell her jewelry designs worldwide to a junior market in the mid 90's, fun and durability was what it was all about. "I've been in love with Wendy's work for so long but knew that my lifestyle would rip it to shreds, all those hours of hard work wasted. I finally got up the nerve to ask for this one beautiful piece and Wendy told me to wear it, really wear it. At first I was shy about it but knew that she would want to know what happens to her pieces when they are really worn. Four months later I still get strangers asking me about my bouquet ring, whether I'm riding the bus, out at a nice restaurant, or even havin drinks at my local dive bar."

With that said Elisa knew she would be able to help Wendy develop a line that would be beautiful as well as available and functional and that's what they are giving you now; pieces that are so versatile they can be worn to the Opera or to a rock show. With Wendy able to have full focus on design and Elisa out on the streets working the sales end of this dynamic duo keep an eye out for WHM Jewelry in your favorite neighborhood shop near you.
