Our bracelets are made for life in, on and around the water. We use custom marine-grade line and 316L stainless steel hardware.

Salt, sun and water are part of the environment we design for.

• Chatham: our most streamlined. A single strand of custom 3mm line with a 316L stainless steel trigger clasp.
• Original Square Knot: the bracelet that started Lemon & Line in 2010, in custom double-braid marine-grade line.
• Classic Hitch: a clean, modern take on the nautical bracelet.
• Turks Head: the summer-classic knot in marine-grade cotton line, built to last for years.
• Cuttyhunk: adjustable and one size, so there’s no size to guess.
• Limited Edition: our signature styles in small batches, finished with gold-plated hardware.

Turks Head bracelets are made from marine-grade cotton line, so they soften and weather with wear, just like the originals. If one stiffens after a swim, gently pull both ends to lengthen it back out; it softens again as it dries.

Yes, slightly with wear.

Our rope bracelets are designed to be worn snugly on the wrist and should not move freely up and down your arm.

Our standard hardware is 316L stainless steel, selected for its resistance to corrosion in marine environments.

Like anything exposed to salt water, it should be cared for properly.

Our rope bracelets are cut and handcrafted in our Newport, Rhode Island studio, one at a time.

Lemon & Line is designed in Newport, with our work rooted in sailing, the waterfront and life around the water.

Snug.

Your bracelet should sit comfortably against your wrist without moving freely up and down your arm.

Measure your wrist just above your hand, on the snug side. Your wrist size is not the same as the bracelet length.

* Most women wear a Small. Most men wear a Large.

Our bracelets are designed to be worn snug and will stretch slightly with wear. Smaller or larger? Email us for a custom size.
