Stephen Dweck “Adam Bettle” Cuff

Stephen Dweck signed his one-of-a-kind pieces with a beetle named Adam, and finding Adam on a clasp is how collectors know they’re holding the real, singular thing. This 2015 bracelet is one of those OOAK creations: nine dimensional pyramid links filled with peridot, closing at a clasp set with a superb lime citrine, all in sterling silver and weighing a substantial four ounces. Dweck built his reputation on exactly this — organic, sculptural, hand-finished silver that feels ancient and modern at once — and on never making the same piece twice. The reverse carries his iconic signature, the year, the sterling mark, and the OOAK inventory number 33769: a fingerprint, essentially, guaranteeing this bracelet is the only one of its kind on earth. Green stones against dark silver, real heft, a designer’s whole philosophy in one object. Adam is on the clasp. That’s the tell — and the promise.
