In designing his rustic, Americana-themed jewelry, Miansai founder Michael Saiger draws inspiration from his childhood memories spent poking around in his mother’s antique shop and strolling along the New England coastline. Knotted rope cufflinks and handcrafted bracelets clasped with golden anchors and fishhooks conjure up images of ruddy-faced lobster fishermen reeling in the day’s catch, while Miansai’s colorful enamel and sterling silver tie bars could pass for authentic Navy medals of honor. Maritime rope, dyed leather, and brass feature prominently in Miansai’s unisex designs, which include key chains, Panama hats, and sunglasses safeties in addition to jewelry.
