ANTHROPOLOGY

CULTURE

Its cultural story reflects Raleigh’s growing hockey identity, the Caniac community, and the Storm Surge celebrations that became a distinctive expression of modern Carolina fandom.

JEWELRY
Red Resin-Dyed Clear Quartz establishes the bracelet’s dominant red register. Black Onyx provides depth while White Howlite creates a crisp contrasting element, producing a bold interpretation of Carolina hockey’s familiar palette.
