JewelSplint

Masha Pinsky - the founder of JewelSplint is an occupational therapist and a jeweler. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but we think that after beholding most medical accessories, they look incredibly unattractive—and are often not as pragmatically designed as they could be. During everyday therapeutic work, we help many patients by designing, constructing, and fitting the hand/finger splints, customized to answer their particular functional and medical needs. Though the braces fulfill the functional requirements, they are mainly made of plastic materials and lack elegance – the fact that always bothered Masha. As a result, it was only natural for her to combine her two passions – treatment and arts, and pursue the ultimate splint design – practical and fashionable. After many trials and errors, she came up with the concept of JewelSplint. JewelSplints are made of sterling silver, gold, or their combination. A very important feature of the JewelSplint is its adjustability. One can slightly adjust the width and length of the splint when first received and during the day when the temperature variations affect the finger size. We also always enjoy the creative challenge of coming up with new ideas and solving new problems. Each splint is a jewel. Turn discomfort into beauty!
