Alémais Jewellery: The Ona Bracelets, Chokers and Charm Bracelet

Alémais jewellery, for Resort 2027, is the Ona line: five pieces of costume jewellery made from shell stones of tourmaline powder and resin, resin beads and nano-plated brass, sold alongside our designer bracelets and necklaces. There are two snake bracelets, two snake stone chokers and a brass charm bracelet, all listed on the Alémais brand page and all part of the Alémais Resort 2027 drop two delivery that landed in November 2026.

Key facts

• Alémais jewellery for Resort 2027 is the Ona line of five costume jewellery pieces: two snake bracelets, two snake stone chokers and a brass charm bracelet.
• The Ona shell stones are listed as 95% tourmaline powder and 5% resin, set with resin beads on nano-plated brass.
• Ona Lena is lilac with a twist shell and freshwater pearl charm; Ona Alba is blue with a resin shell charm.
• The snake bracelets measure 21cm, the charm bracelet 20cm and the chokers have an 18.5cm neck drop, all with fob and bar closures.

This guide sets out what each Ona piece is made of, how the Lena and Alba colourways differ, how to stack the bracelets and layer the chokers, which drop two clothes they suit, and how to look after shell, resin and brass so the pieces keep their colour. The bags from the same delivery are covered in our Alémais bags guide.

What is Alémais jewellery made of?

The Ona pieces are built from three materials. The stones are shell stones, which the house lists as 95% tourmaline powder and 5% resin: a ground mineral powder bound in resin and shaped into small flat stones. Between them sit resin beads, and the settings, fob and bar closures are brass with a nano-plated finish. The Ona Lena Snake Bracelet adds a freshwater pearl to its charm. The Ona Charm Bracelet is a different construction entirely, a brass chain hung with several charms.

It is costume jewellery, and the house is plain about the materials. There is no gold, no silver and no precious stone in the line, and the pieces should be bought and worn on those terms: for colour, texture and the pleasure of a stack, not as an heirloom. Shell, resin and brass are all classic costume jewellery materials. They are light on the wrist, they take colour well, and they can be worn to the beach in a way a fine piece rarely is.

Lena and Alba: the two colourways

The snake bracelet and the snake stone necklace each come in two colourways. Lena is lilac and Alba is blue. Within each colourway the stones, beads and goldtone brass are matched, so a Lena bracelet and a Lena choker read as a set, and the same holds for Alba. The charms differ: Lena carries a twist shell and pearl charm, Alba a resin shell charm.

The five Ona pieces, one by one

The snake bracelets

The snake bracelets are a thin stripe of shell stones and resin beads on a brass setting, laid in a line that bends around the wrist like a snake. Each measures 21cm in total length and closes with a fob and bar. The fob and bar is a toggle: a bar slides through a ring and sits across it, which makes the bracelet easy to put on with one hand.

The snake stone necklaces

The Lena and Alba Snake Stone Necklaces are chokers. They use the same shell stones and resin beads on brass, close with a goldtone fob and bar, and the house gives an 18.5cm neck drop length. A choker sits high at the base of the neck, so it frames an open collar, a scoop neck and a halter line well. Worn alone, it works as a statement necklace in a small format.

The Ona Charm Bracelet

The Ona Charm Bracelet is a brass chain bracelet with multi charms and a bar and fob closure, 20cm in total length. It is the most neutral of the five and the one to start with if you already wear gold-tone pieces every day. In a stack it ties the coloured bracelets back to any gold chain you own.

How to stack and wear Alémais jewellery

The Ona line is small, so it is easy to wear all of it at once. The trick is to let one colour lead and keep the rest quiet.

• A two-bracelet stack: one snake bracelet with the Ona Charm Bracelet on the same wrist. The flat stones and the swinging charms give two different textures, and the brass of both closures matches.
• The full set: a choker and snake bracelet in the same colourway, Lena with Lena, Alba with Alba, worn with a plain white shirt so the colour has somewhere to sit.
• Mixed colourways: Lena on one wrist and Alba on the other works with a white shirt and with prints that mix several colours, so neither stone colour has to match the cloth.
• Choker plus chain: a snake stone choker high at the neck, with a longer fine gold chain of your own beneath it, for a layered neckline over a scoop neck.
• At the beach: the bracelets are light enough to wear with a swimsuit and a pareo, then leave on for dinner. Take them off before you swim.
• At dinner: one choker and nothing else at the neck, with the charm bracelet alone on the wrist. The quieter version reads more deliberate.

Which drop two clothes suit the Ona pieces?

The chokers want an open neckline. The Florencia Beaded Shirt has an artisan hand-beaded pocket, collar and feature button in white cotton, and a lilac choker under the open collar picks up the handwork. The Blanca Silk Slip Maxi Dress has a scoop neckline and spaghetti straps on a cream silk ground, which leaves the collarbone bare for a blue Alba choker. The Ellis Midi Dress is a lilac abstract floral with a high V neckline, so the Lena bracelet belongs on the wrist there and the neck can stay clear.

For a day look, the Mariel set in olive organic cotton is a quiet base for the blue Alba pieces. For colour on colour, the red floral Bonetta pieces take the gold-tone charm bracelet better than the coloured stones. More ideas sit in our guide on how to style Alémais.

Ten Alémais pieces to buy with the Ona line

1. Ona Lena Snake Bracelet

The Ona Lena Snake Bracelet in lilac shell stones and resin beads on brass, with a twist shell and pearl charm and a fob and bar closure, 21cm long. It is the only Ona piece with a freshwater pearl, and the one to buy if you want a single bracelet with some movement.

2. Ona Alba Snake Bracelet

The Alba version in blue, with a resin shell charm. Blue shell stones sit well against white cotton and olive green, so it suits the Mariel set and the Florencia shirt.

3. Ona Lena Snake Stone Necklace

The Ona Lena Snake Stone Necklace is a lilac choker of shell stones and resin beads on brass with a goldtone fob and bar, 18.5cm neck drop length. Wear it high at the neck under an open collar.

4. Ona Alba Snake Stone Necklace

The Alba choker in blue. Paired with the matching snake bracelet it makes the most complete Ona set, and it is the stronger of the two chokers against cream and ivory clothes.

5. Ona Charm Bracelet

A brass chain bracelet with multi charms, bar and fob closure, 20cm long. It ties the coloured pieces to everyday gold-tone jewellery and works alone on a bare wrist.

6. Florencia Beaded Shirt

The Florencia Beaded Shirt in white cotton has an artisan hand-beaded pocket, collar and feature button and an oversized fit. A white shirt is the clearest ground for coloured jewellery, and this one already has handwork at the collar.

7. Blanca Silk Slip Maxi Dress

The Blanca Silk Slip Maxi Dress is bias cut in silk with a floral print drawn with the artist Sophie Wahlquist on a cream ground. The scoop neckline and fine straps leave space for a choker.

8. Ellis Midi Dress

The Ellis Midi Dress is a fitted halter neck midi in recycled polyester with a lilac abstract floral. It carries the Lena lilac, so a Lena bracelet reads as part of the outfit.

9. Mariel Shirt

The Mariel Shirt in olive organic cotton has a point collar and a concealed placket. Worn open over a swimsuit, it gives the blue Alba pieces a calm background by day.

10. Bonetta Top

The Bonetta Top is a fitted organic cotton top in a red floral print with a scoop neck and adjustable ties at bust and waist. The scoop neck takes a choker, and the gold-tone charm bracelet suits the red.

How do you care for shell, resin and brass jewellery?

The house does not publish care instructions for the Ona pieces, so the guidance here is general care for these materials. Brass tarnishes with water and perfume, and plated finishes wear faster when they meet sun cream, salt water and chlorine. Resin and shell are softer than metal and can scratch.

• Put the jewellery on last, after sun cream, perfume and body oil have dried, and take it off first.
• Remove the bracelets before swimming in the sea and the pool, and before a shower.
• Wipe each piece with a soft dry cloth after wearing to lift skin oils and salt.
• Store each piece on its own in a soft pouch so the stones do not rub against metal chains.
• Keep the pieces out of hot cars and direct sun when not wearing them, since heat is hard on resin.
• Close the fob and bar before storing, so the bar does not catch on other pieces.

Sizing and fit

All five Ona pieces are one size. The snake bracelets measure 21cm in total length and the charm bracelet 20cm, both with a fob and bar closure, which suits most wrists with a little room to move. The snake stone necklaces are chokers with an 18.5cm neck drop length, so they sit close at the base of the neck. For the clothing in this guide, see our Alémais size guide.

Wearing Alémais jewellery around the world

In Australia, the Ona pieces arrive at the start of summer, and December to February is when light coloured jewellery gets the most wear: beach mornings in Sydney, long lunches, and summer weddings where a choker suits a slip dress. In the US, the same pieces travel south for winter sun, to Florida, the Caribbean and Mexico, then come back into rotation in spring and through the summer months.

In the UK and Europe, Ona is holiday jewellery in winter and city jewellery from May to September, when a lilac choker with a white shirt works for a weekday lunch as well as a beach week on the Mediterranean. In the Gulf, the cooler months from November to March are the season for outdoor dinners and beach days, and a single choker over a high-necked dress suits evening plans. Wherever you wear it, keep brass dry in humid heat.
