Line Lust: The Ropes Maine

The freezing temps have me dreaming about summer, water, boating, and bright jewelry.  All of these things things are synonymous with the fun jewelry line, The Ropes Maine. And the best part? These funky, nautical bracelets can just as easily be worn in the winter months for a casual and hip look complete with a much needed pop of colour. As far as I know, no other designer is using ropes as their main material in jewelry making, although I am sure the copycats are sure to follow.

The creative genius behind the The Ropes is Shana Aldrich Ready.  She started The Ropes after being inspired by her surroundings in Maine.  With frequent trips to the beach with her son and her love of the ocean, it wasn't long before she started constructing bracelets from marine ropes and hardware. With a flare for mixing stylish trends with traditional materials from Maine's marine culture the result is unique and stylish seaside swag.

See below for some awesome photos of The Ropes bracelets and modeled on some hip customers. Is winter over yet? Get yours here!
