The triad roots bangle: A hymn to legacy, culture, and style

Crafted Stories in Gold and Stone

The Triad Roots Bangle, part of the Triad Roots Collection, is a stunning 24k gold-plated piece that embodies cultural heritage, aesthetic innovation, and modern design. Featuring two bold triangular elements on either end, this open cuff bangle is adorned with vibrant red, yellow, and green zirconia stones. It represents the rich history and bold spirit of the Caribbean, making it a symbol of strength, unity, and personal expression.

Inspired by Generations of Craftsmanship: The Basket Weave Legacy

As a child, I was captivated by the stories my grandmother shared about her youth in Saint Lucia. She would recount how, as a young girl, she wove baskets to sell at the local market, a skill passed down from her mother and her mother’s mother—my great-great-grandmother—to my mother, and then to her. This art of basket weaving, instilled in my family for generations, became a symbol of resilience, creativity, and tradition. The intricate patterns woven with care became a powerful connection to my roots, and I sought to pay homage to this legacy through my own craft.

The Power of Duality: Symbolism in Design

The Triad Roots Bangle features a striking open cuff design, with two mirrored triangular elements at each end, making it both adjustable and visually captivating. Each triangular form contains a single prominent red zirconia stone, symbolizing strength and passion, while the lattice-like pattern within the triangles evokes the basket-weaving traditions of my ancestors. The open structure of the weave lends the bangle a light, airy feel, while maintaining its bold, geometric aesthetic.

A Burst of Color and Heritage

Flowing across both triangular elements are vibrant red, yellow, and green zirconia stones, representing the symbolic colors of the Rastafari movement and reggae culture. These colors reflect the spirit of freedom, unity, and natural beauty that the Caribbean embodies. The continuous flow of colors between the two ends of the bangle enhances the sense of balance and harmony, making this piece not just a work of art, but a meaningful expression of cultural pride.

Why She Wears It: Fashion, Taste, and Message

The woman who wears the Triad Roots Bangle embraces both tradition and modernity. With its bold triangular design and open cuff style, the bangle is an elegant yet striking accessory for any outfit, whether casual or formal. The vibrant colors and delicate woven detail make it an artistic focal point that enhances her sense of style, while the duality of the design speaks to a deeper narrative of balance, resilience, and heritage.

Wearing the Triad Roots Bangle is more than a fashion choice—it’s a declaration of strength and unity. The dual triangles reflect the power of connection, honoring the past while embracing the present. This bangle is for the woman who appreciates the fusion of tradition and innovation, someone who understands that true style is about both aesthetic beauty and meaningful stories.

A Caribbean Heartbeat: The Colors of Unity and Culture

Being born in Martinique, I wanted to infuse the piece with the vibrant energy of the Caribbean, staying true to my cultural roots. The choice of red, yellow, and green zirconia stones was deeply personal. One of my brothers, born and raised in Jamaica, along with my father’s deep love for Bob Marley and the Jamaican culture, played a significant role in inspiring these colors. However, in addition to my love for dancehall music, I realized that, at the time, there were no designer jewelry pieces that paid homage to Jamaican cultural heritage—specifically the symbolic colors associated with reggae, dancehall, and the Rastafari movement.

These colors—red, yellow, and green—are symbolic of the Rastafari movement and reggae music, which have profoundly influenced Jamaican heritage. They represent the blood of those who fought for freedom, the wealth of Africa, and the lush vegetation of both Africa and Jamaica. This color palette not only pays homage to the visual and cultural representation of reggae and dancehall music but also connects to a broader Caribbean identity.

A Symbol of Unity and Strength

The Triad Roots Bangle is more than just jewelry—it’s a harmonious blend of tradition, cultural fusion, and aesthetic innovation. By weaving together the stories of my ancestors, the rich heritage of the Caribbean, and the enduring influence of ancient civilizations, I’ve created a piece that sings with the spirit of reggae, the rhythm of dancehall, the precision of Egyptian geometry, and the craftsmanship of generations of Caribbean artisans. For the woman who wears this bangle, it’s a symbol of unity, strength, and the beauty that comes from blending traditions into something bold, timeless, and uniquely her own.
