Lisa Sisco and Carolyn Berluti, the duo behind Sisco Berluti (formerly Sisco Family Jewels), are sisters from a large, close-knit Italian family. Drawn to the many varieties and textures of both new and vintage beads from around the word, Sisco and Berluti began stringing bracelets as a way to satisfy their creative passions. They created sets of 7 bracelets, each one representing a member of the family, and called them “Families.” At first, the bracelets were a personalized way to gift family members and friends, but quickly became a coveted commodity through word of mouth among discerning consumers and buyers of high-end boutiques. Within a short time, Sisco Berluti has become a highly sought-after brand seen on many a celebrity such as Leighton Meester, Miley Cyrus, Anne Hathaway, Halle Berry, Selena Gomez and Jessica Alba (to name a few).

The family team uses the success of their jewelry line to help causes that carry significant meaning for their family, including Half the Sky Foundation, working to care for orphans in China, and Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer.

The beaded bracelet is quite a trend and we've seen them at very low prices and extremely high prices and some with charms and some without and we just couldn't find the right line. But when we saw Sisco Berluti, we knew we found just the right line of beaded bracelets that are sophisticated and stunning and at a great price! The gemstones and beads that they use are gorgeous and they offer a beautiful selection of fun colors and stones. The added touch of the gold or rhinestone bead is a great way to dress up a simple style in their signature way. These are all handmade in the USA on stretchy cord and fit just about everyone. They are meant to be layered, collected and enjoyed. We like mixing them with leather bracelets like from Chan Luu or friendship bracelets from Shashi for a more casual look. For a dressier look, pick the color or color combinations that will accent your outfit. You can also wear two or three of the same color. The possibilities are endless!

These smooth red coral beads are just stunning along with a round rhinestone bead. Wear it with the emerald jade for a festive look or the sodalite blue bracelet for a patriotic look or with tigers eye and gold porcupine for a rich look. This is also a bracelet that benefits the Half the Sky Foundation, working on behalf of China's orphaned children.
