The Mardi Gras Bead Dog: A Love Letter to New Orleanians (And Why You'll Have to Wait Until 2027)

If you blinked, you missed it.

This year, we managed to sneak in one quick micro-batch of just 12 Mardi Gras Bead Dog charms before silver prices skyrocketed and production became impossible. Those lucky dozen pieces sold out almost immediately—mostly to our Cali Krewe Members who got early access to the drop.

And now? They're gone.

Why Only 12?

Timing and market conditions weren't on our side this year. With silver spot rates climbing to unprecedented levels (we're talking $90/oz and rising), there simply wasn't enough time—or financial sense—to produce more before Mardi Gras season ended. We made the call to do a small, careful run rather than risk overextending ourselves in such an unpredictable market.

But here's the good news: the Mardi Gras Bead Dog is coming back.

Join the Waitlist for 2027

We're officially opening the waitlist for our second batch, which will be released sometime towards the end of this year in preparation for the 2027 Mardi Gras season. If you want to be first in line when these drop again, now's the time to get on that list.

How You'll Be Able to Wear It

We're offering this charm in our traditional Couture-compatible charm style, which means you can wear it on your Couture Charm Bracelet or thread it onto a chain as a necklace

Alternatively, we'll also be offering this as a clip charm for ultimate versatility.

It's designed to be as flexible as your style—because a piece this special deserves to be worn your way.

Should We Make It in Gold Vermeil, Too?

Here's where I need your help. We're considering offering the Mardi Gras Bead Dog in gold vermeil in addition to silver, but we want to gauge interest first before committing to production.

Would you wear a gold version? Drop a comment below and let us know! Your feedback will directly influence whether we bring this design to life in gold. This is your chance to have a say in what we create next.

A Piece Worth the Wait

The Mardi Gras Bead Dog isn't just a charm—it's a celebration of New Orleans culture, resilience, and the magic of Carnival season. Whether you're a NOLA native, a Mardi Gras enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a piece with personality and story, this charm was made for you.

We can't wait to bring more of these into the world later this year. Until then, get on that waitlist and stay tuned!
