Tzuri dedicates itself to perfecting specific design concepts that are often years in the making, like its “Expression Collection,” featuring solid gold renditions of pencils turned into bracelets, rings, and necklaces that are a luxe interpretation of the saying, “The pen is mightier than the sword.”

For JCK, the Beverly Hills-based brand will unveil the “Ethos Collection Bracelet.” Executed in 18-karat yellow, white, or rose gold, the bracelet features rotating spheres.
