Pittsburgh Pool Pass Charms

Every summer, Pittsburgh CitiParks opens the public pools and the new season’s pool tag is released to the public! Pittsburgher’s mostly purchase this pool passes as a “family” which can include up to 6 members, all for a whopping $12.75 for each “family member”. These family passes can be purchased with a whole group of our relatives OR our chosen family. We love this quaint lil tradition and almost everyone I know tries to guess the new pool pass each season. This nostalgic enameled collection is a collaboration with Lyla Taube to exemplify Pittsburgh Pool Culture into a wearable jewelry collection where each year’s pool pass shape is replicated (all the way back to year 2017!) in colorful vitreous enamel on copper.
