I bought this on my 64th birthday. Not as a gift to myself — as something to pass on.
23 is a number that has followed us for years. My first daughter’s birthday then it appears at random moments that make you think twice. 27 is my birthday with another daughter and son. Those numbers keep finding us.
I wanted them to have something that says: you are already oriented. You don’t need me to point the way but also here’s a compass for the days it feels like you might as a reminder of all the ancestral paths before them.
That’s what this bracelet is. A keepsake from a birthday that made me think about what I want to leave behind.
