Jason McLeod on the inspiration for his Many Worlds cuff

While time travel might not yet be possible, Jason McLeod doesn’t let that fact stop him from being inspired by the possibilities it presents. The Charlottesville, Virginia–based jewelry designer chose the idea of time travel as the inspiration for his Time Traveler series, which includes his Many Worlds cuff bracelet, because he finds the concept fascinating, believing that it doesn’t violate the laws of physics.

But until scientists devise a way to accelerate spaceships at speeds approaching the speed of light, McLeod is content with letting his imagination run wild. When he sat down to design his Many Worlds cuff, he “wanted it to be over-the-top, not something you’d wear haphazardly.” The result was a statement cuff one would wear to a major event.
