Studio 51 | Artisans of Good Luck & Good Looks™

May 6, 2023

Lucky charms and pendants handcrafted in Rhode Island USA from recycled materials, inspired by a cycling lifestyle and lucky number 51.

Story

Who We Are

We are Studio 51®, a small team of passionate cyclists with a background in design and fashion. We are makers of unique cycling-inspired charms, talismans, and fashion pendants to be worn on and off the bike. All our items are handcrafted in Rhode Island USA from recycled materials and will not only make you look good but also bring you good luck, powered by the legendary lucky dossard number 51.

We are Artisans of Good Luck and Good Looks™. We craft truly unique fashion jewelry from recycled materials. We do it with love & passion and right here in the USA!

For Whom Is This?

For fashionable cyclists and active fashionistas. For everyone who loves cycling or loves a cyclist. For self-purchase or as a gift. For You?

And while our brand core evolves around cycling, all our items can be worn by everyone who loves unique fashion design, and true craftsmanship, seeks good luck, and wants to look good (who doesn’t)!

Btw: if you don’t wear necklaces or prefer no jewelry on sweaty bike rides, our lucky charms are designed to be attached to literally everything. We always include a few zip-ties in shipments so you can take your lucky charm with you attached to a bag, jacket, helmet, or bike itself.

Jewelry has the power to capture meaningful moments and protect from dangers.

Meet Lucky Number 51

We chose 51 for a good reason as our brand story. In numerology, number 51 symbolizes leadership, courage, and strength, and is a reminder that you are always in control of your own destiny.

In cycling, dossard number 51 has brought many Tour de France riders good luck, with Eddy Merckx the best-known, winning the Tour in his debut in 1969 with dossard 51. It was after his victory that 51 started a life of its own as a number that evoked a good luck charm and built a legendary reputation in the cycling world.

All our items have a tiny lucky dossard 51 number stamped on the back to give you strength, bring you luck, and keep you safe.
