Each bracelet is hand woven by Caitlin on a brass cuff using the traditional Nantucket Lightship Basket material of rattan. Rattan is also used in wicker furniture and is known to be strong, pliable and durable. Some of the bracelets also feature woods such as walnut, cherry or ebony.Each wooden stave is cut, sanded and individually shaped to the brass cuff. The end caps (and ivory pieces on the bangles) are also hand carved from larger tusks of fossilized walrus ivory and fossilized woolly mammoth ivory.
