Life is a constant search—for purpose, meaning, partnership, and not least of all, a signature gold bracelet. While the big questions may be beyond us, we know a thing or two about great bracelets. Take this 1970s cuff by Wander, which has all the qualities of a signature jewel. Its sculptural wave pattern and bold, three-dimensional form are daring and unique. The heirloom quality French manufacture is superb, leaving lifetimes of wear ahead. Its design narrows to a comfortable fit underneath the wrist, making it great for all day, everyday wear, but if you do decide to take it off the hinge closure opens and closes with smooth ease. With one of life’s great hunts behind you, there’s more time to ponder the other big questions.
