Bracelet stacking is big again, offering shoppers the opportunity to curate a collection that lets their personality shine. Whether chunky and gold, silver and sculptural, or deliciously gemmy, there’s a bangle or cuff (or two, or 10) for everyone.
It wouldn’t be hard to spot the latest creation from Jade Ruzzo in a stack, though it certainly needs no accompaniment. A generous hunk of palisander wood provides the form of Ruzzo’s elegantly curved Danielle cuff, its dark and glossy exterior the perfect setting for a glowing oval-shape zircon, a scene-stealer at 23.5 cts.
“Wood is a material I absolutely love working with—it’s such a beautiful complement to precious stones,” Ruzzo tells JCK. “In the past, I’ve used it as an accent in pieces like my cymbal pendants. This was my first time using wood as the main focus for a piece, and I loved the idea of playing into the organic nature of the material through the piece’s shape and form.”
There’s a ballet-like softness here, the cuff’s curves combining with the hazy pink of the stone. But much like a ballerina’s strength, the bracelet is as powerful as it is graceful, its skillful shape coma knockout of the highest order—a prima ballerina of bracelets, if you will.
“The soft curves of the piece were designed to feel like they form naturally around the zircon,” Ruzzo says. “The color and scale of the dusty rose zircon stopped me in my tracks when I first saw it. The harmony of the materials for this piece just feels like magic to me.”
Her Danielle bracelet is a conversation piece for cuffing season, but one that would suit any time of year. Its wood component feels prime for resort wear, while that peachy-rose zircon pairs perfectly with summer spritzes. For customers looking for something to set them apart in 2026, here it is.
