You’ll be charmed by this elegant jewelry from At First Sight. Each poetic piece incorporates Braille in some form or fashion. The Alphabet Bracelet—designer Leslie Ligon’s personal favorite—won the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt People’s Choice Award for 2010. It serves as a Braille cheat-sheet of sorts, with the Braille alphabet on the outside and corresponding print on the reverse. From bookmarks to earrings to a heart pendant with decorative scrollwork surrounding the Braille word for “love,” all her designs boast a chic tactile quality. Ligon, whose young son is blind, says she doesn’t design for those who are visually impaired, but to create awareness through design.
