The Soho Strand
A layer-friendly strand with "subtle lustre." We put that in quotes because calling injection-moulded polycarbonate "lustrous" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
"The finest recycled plastic on earth."
Every piece in our collection is indistinguishable from the next, because they all come from the same factory line. Consistency is our secret β if you've seen one, you've basically seen them all. We don't pretend it's anything other than what it is: exceptionally shiny garbage.
* We haven't tested this. ** It won't dissolve immediately. *** "Lifetime" refers to the jewellery's lifetime, not yours. **** No animals were involved at any stage. Mostly machines. One intern.
The Collection
Hand-polished "pearls" paired with timeless "metals." We use quotes because our lawyers asked us to.
A layer-friendly strand with "subtle lustre." We put that in quotes because calling injection-moulded polycarbonate "lustrous" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Teardrop studs that catch light at every angle. Also catches on sweaters, hair, and small children walking past.
A curated trio for effortless layering. We say "curated" but Derek from shipping just grabs three at random from the bin.
Our flagship necklace. Inspired by old-world pearl diving, except nobody dived for anything β it was extruded at 190Β°C from a machine called "Brenda." Each bead is technically identical at the molecular level, which is either a quality triumph or deeply unsettling.
Perfect for proposals where you want to test the relationship before committing real money. Has resulted in 14 weddings and 6 "we need to talk" conversations. Better odds than most dating apps.
The Craft
A meticulous 4-step journey that takes approximately 11 seconds per unit.
We acquire premium-grade plastic pellets from a supplier who assures us everything is "totally above board" and "please stop asking questions."
Pellets are melted at precisely the temperature where they stop being pellets and start being jewellery. Science hasn't named this point. We call it "vibes."
Each piece passes 47 quality checkpoints. Checkpoint #1 is someone saying "yeah, that's fine." Checkpoints #2β47 are the same person saying it again.
Ships in a velvet-textured plastic pouch, inside a slightly larger plastic pouch, inside a box that says "FRAGILE" in a font we paid $4 for.
Testimonials
We asked customers for honest reviews. This was a mistake.
"I wore the Monomer Strand to a gala and three people asked if it was vintage Bakelite. It cost less than my parking."
"Wait⦠this was plastic? I've been telling people it's artisanal resin. Which I now realise is also plastic. I need to sit down."
"How do I get a refund? Asking for myself. Obviously."
"My fiancΓ©e said yes. Then she looked closer at the ring and said she needed to think about it. Still together though. Technically."
"Bought these for my mother-in-law. She loved them. This tells you everything you need to know about our relationship."
"My dog ate the earrings. He's fine. The earrings are fine. I'm starting to think they're indestructible. Gave them a wash and wore them to brunch."
If your piece breaks, fades, melts, gets eaten by a pet, is confiscated by airport security, or simply embarrasses you at a dinner party β we'll replace it, no questions asked. Because it cost less than a sandwich.
