A Week of Bangles, Bracelets and a New Favourite
A Week of Bangles, Bracelets and a New Favourite
Some weeks in the workshop seem to have a theme, and this week has definitely been all about bangles and bracelets.
I've been spending my days making lots of new designs, and it's reminded me just how much I enjoy creating jewellery that can be worn every day. There's something really satisfying about turning a length of recycled sterling silver into a finished piece that someone will hopefully wear and love for years to come.
One piece in particular has completely stolen my heart this week, my new Silver Chain Link Bracelet with Sunflower Charm.
Every link in the bracelet is handmade from recycled sterling silver, then carefully forged and soldered together to create the chain. The sunflower charm starts life as a little silver pebble, which I make by melting recycled silver before hand stamping it with a sunflower design. It's a simple process, but one that means every bracelet is made by hand from start to finish.
I've always loved sunflowers. They're bright, cheerful and always seem to turn towards the light. For me, they represent happiness, hope and finding the positive, even when life feels a little tricky. I love that something so simple can carry so much meaning, and I hope that when someone wears this bracelet, it brings a little smile every time they look down at their wrist.
As much as I enjoy making jewellery to match trends, the pieces I love creating most are the ones that have a story or meaning behind them. They're the designs that stay with me long after I've finished making them.
Alongside the sunflower bracelet, I've also been busy making lots of new bangles and bracelets, so if you're looking for an everyday silver piece or a thoughtful gift, there are plenty of new designs to explore.
Thank you, as always, for following along and supporting my little business. It means more than you know, and I feel incredibly lucky that I get to spend my days making jewellery that brings me so much joy.
