Oceanica cuff bracelet by Carla Cascales Alimbau for Joidart
The Oceanica open cuff bracelet belongs to the collection designed by Carla Cascales Alimbau for Joidart, in which sculptural language is translated into contemporary jewellery through essential, organic and dynamic forms.
In this piece, a flat strip of metal is transformed through gentle curves and twists into an open structure that wraps around the wrist.
The metal not only defines the shape; it also outlines the negative space between the bracelet's lines, making emptiness an essential part of the design.
A bracelet conceived as a sculpture
Oceanica moves away from the conventional shape of a cuff bracelet.
The metal surface visually unfolds into two organic lines that flow around the wrist, moving closer together and further apart and appearing to cross at different points.
This construction creates a sense of continuous movement, changing the appearance of the bracelet depending on the viewing angle.
No additional decoration is needed: the structure itself becomes the ornament.
The movement of a flat strip of metal
One of the most distinctive aspects of the design is the transformation of such a simple geometric element as a flat strip.
As the metal curves and twists, its surface creates different planes, visual widths and reflections, giving the impression of movement despite the rigidity of the bracelet.
This contrast between rigidity and fluidity is central to the personality of the Oceanica design.
Matte brass with 24K gold plating
The bracelet is crafted from brass with 24K gold plating and a matte finish.
Its satin-like surface softens the reflections of the gold, allowing light to highlight the curves and twists in different ways.
The result is a warm, contemporary gold finish that enhances the volume of the piece without appearing overly shiny.
Material, negative space and movement
In the Oceanica collection, Carla Cascales Alimbau explores concepts closely associated with sculpture: material, balance, movement, tension and negative space.
This bracelet is a particularly clear expression of these ideas. The open space between the two metal lines is visually as important as the brass itself.
When worn, the skin becomes part of the composition, further emphasising the open structure of the piece.
An open rigid cuff bracelet
Its open, rigid construction allows the bracelet to be worn without a clasp.
It measures approximately 6 cm in diameter and 2.6 cm wide, giving it a distinctive presence on the wrist while retaining the elegance of the Oceanica collection.
