Cat Bates - Portland, Maine
Based on traditional marine hardware. Lost wax cast in California and hand finishing in house. The sides can pass through each other when the slots are lined up precisely perpendicular. This kind of mechanism is also referred to as a gangent hook, kissing clip, or brummel hook. When I was a kid my father first showed me how to make them using bolt cutters and chain links. The cord is hand braided in house using a kumihimo loom. I splice the clasps in place using an original technique. The sides of the clasp can pass through each other when the slots are lined up precisely perpendicular. The yarn from which the cords are braided is polyester, dyed, spun, and waxed in Maine.
Fits- size large 7.5-8” wrist
