Carolina Bucci Forte Beads is not what it seems to be, these may appear to be made by a youthful spirit with a bead set and strings, or like those candy bead necklaces you’d get as a child. Nevertheless, they are much more special than that. The allure we all feel towards this collection is not just a love of simplicity. In fact, these beads are actually made of crystals – precious stones, and 18k gold.
Carolina Bucci named the collection “Forte” after a town in Italy where her family owns a vacation home, Forte dei Marmi. As with all her creations, she pays homage to her homeland of Italy naming pieces after places there, sourcing and constructing materials as well. The stones are meticulously sourced and cut just outside of Florence by her trusted suppliers. Furthermore, the family workshop specializes in and handles the gold cord finishes. The immaculate stones are threaded through the cord, which resembles lustrous shoe laces made of lurex, and finished with the signature Florentine Finish 18k Gold tips made to tie. The incorporation of crystals and gold is subtle and masterfully executed, making these pieces feel extra special. The understated elements of the Forte Bead bracelets and necklaces allows for everyday wear without drawing unwanted attention, making them high-quality and worry-free additions to your jewelry collection.
Jewelry is always better when crystals are present because they add meaning and depth. Crystals (precious stones) are believed to possess spiritual healing properties. Even for those who may not fully embrace these beliefs, the idea of a little positive energy from a bracelet or necklace can be appealing. The bracelets are handmade, using a combination of 26 to 28 beads, and there are some extra forte beads using diamonds and the Florentine Finish 18k Gold that you can buy separately and add on to your bracelet too for extra personalization.
The Carolina Forte Beads bracelet or necklace is fantastic for collectors who appreciate high-quality, vibrant jewelry. These pieces are reasonably priced considering the exceptional craftsmanship and materials that goes into each one, making them a perfect addition to any collection. They are the ideal way to infuse color into your daily fits. If you desire jewelry that strikes a balance between relaxed and precious, this collection is for you.
