ANTHROPOLOGY

Color can become inseparable from place. Through repetition, tradition, ceremony, competition, and collective memory, a particular shade can eventually communicate an entire community before its name is spoken.

CULTURE

Carolina blue carries a familiar connection to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and generations of Tar Heels.

It recalls campus traditions, academic milestones, athletic history, rivalry, celebration, and the personal memories formed while belonging to a community whose identity extends beyond Chapel Hill.

JEWELRY

Blue Agate provides layered blue tones and natural banding, while Polished Hematite adds metallic contrast, and white gold-plated stainless steel rondelles and Cubic Zirconia-encrusted spacers give the bracelet an elevated finish.

Materials: Blue Agate · Polished Hematite · Gold-Plated Stainless Steel Rondelles · Cubic Zirconia-Encrusted Spacers

STORYTELLING

The Carolina Blue Specimen tells the story of a color becoming memory.  

For one person, Carolina blue may recall the first day on campus. For another, graduation. For someone else, it may represent a game, a family tradition, an unforgettable season, or simply the feeling of returning to Chapel Hill.  

The shade stays familiar. The stories attached to it belong to generations.
