Of Style
and Substance


Luxury objects shaped by golf, craftsmanship, and the Monterey Peninsula.

01

Craft

Bench work, tools, shaping, drilling, sanding.

Every bead is turned, drilled and sanded by hand. Runs stay small; the grain decides how far a piece goes.

Material

Provenance and tactility.

Fallen and reclaimed cypress, and stone gathered nearby. Selected for grain, shaped individually and finished by hand.

Hundreds of irregular unfinished cypress beads, dusty from sanding

Object

Answer what the brand makes.

Wristwear first. Beads strung plainly, sized by hand — the material carries the piece.

Place

World-building and cultural context.

Monterey and the Cypress Coast give the work its mythology and provenance — the culture around the game, not the equipment.
