5-in-1 chela: necklace + choker + wrapped bracelet + eyeglass chain + mask holder
by Maddalena Bearzi Jewelry from US
We live in unusual times that call for out-of-the-ordinary, versatile jewelry. The handmade “chela” is just that: it’s that unique eye glass chain you were looking for, the choker with a boho twist, the elegant long necklace, the bold wrapped bracelet, and also an original mask holder!
A lobster claw (“chela di aragosta” in the language of the Italian designer) influenced the design of this 5-in-1 distinctive piece with earthy colors.
Length: adjustable. Materials: Japanese silk wrapped in silk combined with hand-hammered, brushed brass.A slightly thinner version of this one-of-a-kind accessory (“chela sottile”) is available here. Other handmade jewelry by this designer – such as the Aria, Pianeta and Terra collections or her innovative one of a kind pieces – can be found in her online shop.
Each piece is handmade, unique, unisex and wearable in different ways.
Maddalena Bearzi organic-looking and handcrafted jewelry is inspired by the magnificent natural world around us, a world to not only appreciate but also protect. Using methods and often upcycled materials that avoid depleting or destroying the Earth’s resources, her pieces exemplify that style and sustainability go hand in hand.

Maddalena Bearzi began making jewelry by joining sustainable textiles with distinctive elements such as repurposed metals, upcycled vintage charms, and natural stones, to reveal unique and texturized pieces.
