At Brackish, we have long been captivated by the intricacies and elegance that nature’s raw beauty can offer. With every design, we strive to capture the essence of the natural world and elevate it into something luxurious, timeless, and refined. Our latest creation, The Burr Collection, is a testament to this philosophy - a collection that reimagines the wonders of nature through a modern, sophisticated lens. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Burr Pin, which is a meticulously crafted silhouette from the base of a deer antler, this collection was conceived with one goal in mind: to elevate the natural into the extraordinary. Through an exquisite array of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings, The Burr Collection not only reflects our signature silhouette but breathes new life into it with a refreshing, modern energy.
A Homage to Nature’s Beauty and Charleston’s Spirit
The Burr Collection is deeply rooted in the aesthetic beauty of nature, yet it also represents a profound connection to Charleston, the city that has nurtured and inspired Brackish from its very inception. Charleston has shaped who we are, and we felt compelled to honor the city that gave birth to our brand by creating a collection that speaks to the heart of this place. Charleston’s timeless charm permeates every facet of this collection.
With this in mind, the pieces of the Burr Collection pay homage to some of our favorite neighborhoods in Charleston, each infused with a sense of both local pride and universal elegance. The city has given us not just a home, but a community of individuals whose support and enthusiasm have been instrumental in shaping the success of Brackish. What better way to return the favor than by creating a collection that reflects the beauty of Charleston’s surroundings and the spirit of its people?
The Essence of Timeless Luxury
One of the defining features of the Burr Collection is its ability to seamlessly blend the natural world with a distinct touch of luxury. Each piece is designed to be an everyday treasure - versatile enough to be worn alone as a statement or layered with other pieces to create a more personalized style. Whether you’re looking for something understated or bold, the Burr Collection offers the perfect balance between organic beauty and high-end elegance.
The collection features a variety of metal finishes, including gold, rhodium, and two-tone options, allowing you to select the hue that best compliments your individual taste and style. Each piece is also available in either brass or sterling silver plating bases, adding a further layer of luxury to the designs. With these choices, you are invited to make your personal mark, selecting the metal and finish that best reflects your unique sense of style while ensuring your piece retains an enduring sense of sophistication.
The Burr Collection: The Inspiration Behind the Design
The Burr Pin, which served as the original muse for this collection, is a beautiful representation of nature’s delicate yet powerful forms. Crafted from deer antler, the Burr Pin captures the organic complexity of the natural world, while its sleek, polished finish elevates it to something truly extraordinary. The Burr Collection takes inspiration from this design, reinterpreting its contours and textures in new ways, using luxurious materials and finishes to create a fresh, contemporary interpretation of this timeless design.
With the Burr Collection, we wanted to ensure that each piece not only honors the shape and form of the Burr Pin but also transcends it, offering something that could be worn on any occasion and adored for years to come. From the rounded edges that evoke the soft curves of the burr to the clean, structured lines that speak to modern sophistication, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to create a balance of nature’s raw beauty and luxurious refinement.
Signature Necklaces: A Statement of Grace
The first offerings in the Burr Collection are a selection of stunning necklaces, each designed to capture the eye and draw attention in the most elegant way. The South of Broad Necklace stands out as a signature piece within the collection. Available in gold, rhodium, and two-tone colorways, this necklace features cubic zirconia stones embedded in the links of the gold and rhodium styles, offering a subtle yet striking touch of sparkle. The adjustable length ensures that this piece can be customized to suit your personal style, whether you wear it alone as a statement piece or layer it with other jewelry for a more eclectic look.
Named for one of Charleston’s most iconic neighborhoods, South of Broad evokes a sense of timeless grace. The delicate interplay between the cubic zirconia stones and the smooth, polished metal gives the necklace a unique quality that draws the eye and becomes the focal point of any outfit. Whether paired with a casual ensemble or dressed up for an evening affair, this necklace is destined to become a cherished piece in your jewelry collection.
The Perfect Bracelet: Effortless Elegance
To complement the South of Broad Necklace, we are introducing the Radcliffe Bracelet, an essential accessory that seamlessly coordinates with the necklace’s design while offering a fresh interpretation of the Burr Collection’s core themes. Like the necklace, the Radcliffe Bracelet is available in gold, rhodium, and two-tone colorways, with the gold and rhodium versions featuring the same cubic zirconia stone detailing that adds a touch of sparkle. This bracelet is designed to be adjustable, ensuring that it can fit comfortably on any wrist, making it as versatile as it is beautiful.
The Radcliffe Bracelet is more than just a piece of jewelry - it is an embodiment of modern sophistication. The clean lines and balanced proportions of the bracelet make it an essential piece that can be worn alone or stacked with other bracelets to create a more personalized, layered look. Whether you’re dressing for a day at the office or an evening out, the Radcliffe Bracelet offers the perfect touch of elegance.
Earrings: The Perfect Balance of Statement and Subtlety
The Burr Collection also introduces two new earring styles, each designed to capture the delicate beauty of nature while adding a sophisticated edge. The Ansonborough Drop Earring is a strikingly beautiful design that combines organic elegance with modern flair. Offered in gold and rhodium, these earrings feature a clean, sculptural shape that’s designed to catch the light from every angle, creating an alluring and sophisticated effect. The Ansonborough Drop Earring is the perfect way to add a touch of statement-making drama to any outfit, effortlessly transitioning from day to night.
In contrast, the Cannonborough Stud Earring offers a more subtle yet equally captivating design. Also available in gold and rhodium, these stud earrings feature a cubic zirconia stone at their center, adding a delicate touch of sparkle to an otherwise minimalist design. This style perfectly balances organic beauty with the elegance of a classic stud silhouette, making it versatile enough to wear every day or on special occasions.
Both earring styles embody the Burr Collection’s central themes of organic beauty, modern refinement, and timeless elegance, offering a range of choices for those who appreciate understated sophistication or who prefer to make a more daring statement.
Rings: Bold Statements of Timeless Luxury
The final addition to the Burr Collection is a selection of rings, two of which offer distinct yet complementary styles. The Wagener Terrace Ring is designed to evoke a sense of lightness and airiness, with an open center that gives the piece a feeling of space and freedom. This ring features delicate cubic zirconia stones, adding a touch of sparkle to the design without overwhelming its elegant simplicity. The Wagener Terrace Ring is available in gold and rhodium, allowing for mix-and-match styling or the option to allow the ring to shine as a solitary statement.
For those who seek something more dramatic, the Hampton Park Ring offers a bold, statement-making silhouette. With its rounded edges and striking design, this ring captures the natural beauty of the Burr Pin while infusing it with a contemporary, luxurious twist. The Hampton Park Ring features sparkling cubic zirconia stones that add a radiant glow to the piece, ensuring that it stands out no matter the occasion. Available in both gold and rhodium, this ring is a true testament to timeless beauty and modern sophistication.
A Legacy of Nature, Luxury, and Craftsmanship
In crafting the Burr Collection, our goal was not just to create a line of jewelry but to offer pieces that evoke an emotional response, that speak to the soul, and that inspire a sense of connection to both nature and the elegance that surrounds us. Each piece is a reflection of our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, our passion for design, and our love for the city that helped shape our journey.
From the delicate curves of the Burr Pin to the refined sparkle of the cubic zirconia stones, the Burr Collection is a celebration of nature’s raw beauty, Charleston’s timeless charm, and Brackish’s dedication to creating jewelry that transcends trends and becomes an enduring part of your personal style. We invite you to experience the Burr Collection - where nature meets luxury, and every piece tells a story of elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.
