Something Summer Left Behind

This bracelet, named Something Summer Left Behind, was born from a customer’s casual observation:
“You don’t have a blue baroque pearl bracelet.”
It made me realize that despite my many creations, I had never made one.
So here it is—a keepsake of summer in the form of pearls.

Featuring natural blue Akoya baroque pearls in two sizes—7.5–8.5 mm and 4 mm—this piece has a gentle, flowing rhythm in its design.
Accent K18 white gold mirror ball adds a refined sparkle, and the clip-type clasp ensures secure and comfortable wear.
The bracelet measures 21.5 cm, perfect for those who appreciate a slightly relaxed fit.

These pearls are untreated, allowing their ocean-born blue tones to shine naturally. The baroque shapes catch the light in unique ways, giving the piece depth and character.

🌸Postscript🌸

As mentioned above, this bracelet was created after a customer pointed out that I didn’t have any blue baroque pearl bracelets in my shop.

In response, I made three Akoya blue baroque pearl bracelets and let her choose one. She picked her favorite and purchased it.

Lately, I’ve been dedicating more time to metalworking, and I also create YouTube videos for nearly every new piece I make.

Adding subtitles to my videos takes a significant amount of time. Writing, on the other hand, comes easily to me—I can produce 5,000 to 10,000 characters without any preparation. But turning that text into subtitles is a slow and meticulous process.

I also spend a fair amount of time on social media, especially Instagram. Editing short reel videos for Instagram requires effort too.

In short, I always have a long list of things I want to do and need to do, so I didn’t notice that my shop had no blue baroque pearl bracelets in stock. Thanks to my customer’s observation, I was able to prepare them, albeit belatedly.

Another thing I had forgotten was my Facebook page.

I created it more than six months ago but left it untouched. Between pearl making, metalworking, editing YouTube videos, and creating Instagram reels, I neglected to check the comments customers had left there for a very long time.

I believe that replies that come too late are practically meaningless, but I still sent several very delayed responses to those customers.

At the same time, I noticed that the number of comments on my Facebook page was relatively high. It made me think I should put more effort into maintaining it.

Flower Jem is a very small shop, but even so, when you include social media, there’s a surprising amount of work to manage. Since I run everything alone, I need to handle tasks efficiently—otherwise, important things, like the blue baroque bracelet, risk being forgotten.

That’s why I’ve named this bracelet “Something Summer Left Behind,” as a reflection on the oversight and as a sign of renewed commitment moving forward.

Design-wise, this piece follows a style Flower Jem has released many times before and remains a popular choice.

Recently, I’ve had fewer 4 mm pearls in stock, so I haven’t been able to make this type of design often.

For this bracelet, I gathered the few 4 mm pearls I had left to create it again.

As you can see, the combination of 8 mm and 4 mm pearls, paired with a white gold mirror ball, brings together charm with elegance and refinement.

Put simply, this is the kind of bracelet that makes you want to go out—even if you have nowhere in particular to go.
