Rebecca Coagan Scharlatt is the brilliant designer behind Coatt, a Morse code jewelry collection of  lovely necklaces that are simple, elegant, sweet and sophisticated. Launched in 2010 and picked up by many well-loved bloggers, Coatt's necklaces are comprised of gold filled beads and bars that spell out special words or messages in Morse code. Morse code is "a method of transmitting information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment." Morse code is an international "language" that encodes the Roman alphabet and the Arabic numerals, a few punctuations and signals with standardized sequence of dots and dashes. Anything can be visually translated in Morse code but we picked a few of our favorite words. Each necklace is hand strung in Portland, Oregon on ultra strong silk cord. Each necklace is 16" long and sits delicately on the neck. We love these necklaces as gifts as each necklace has its own special meaning to the giver and the wearer and it will be well-loved. It's amazing how each word has a distinct, unique design. Or treat yourself and wear a word that you feel strongly about such as "love," "mom" or our favorite "sos." Each necklace is so simple, it's perfect for every outfit. Feel free to contact us at customerservice@orangeandpear.com for custom requests. 

Mom is certainly a great word to wear with pride or to give to a new or "seasoned" mom. The design is beautiful- all dashes- constant, strong, unbreakable . . . should we go on with other qualities of great moms? We offer it in 16" with gold filled beads on gray cord. Please note the neck shots are just to show the look of the necklace on a neck, the correct bead design can be found in the initial still shot.
