About These Pieces

A silver bracelet is made link by link: the silver is cut, shaped, hammered or textured, then joined and finished so the piece moves with the wrist instead of sitting stiffly on it. Textured bead bracelets catch light differently from polished ones, and the same design in a brushed finish reads completely differently again.

Stone bracelets are built strand by strand. Baroque pearls are chosen for their irregular shape rather than rejected for it; turquoise is selected for matrix and colour; lapis for the depth of its blue and the amount of pyrite it carries. Because each strand is strung by hand, the exact arrangement of stones will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Getting the Fit Right

• Measure your wrist just above the wrist bone, where a bracelet normally sits, using a soft tape or a strip of paper.
• Add 1.0–1.5 cm for a close fit, 1.5–2.0 cm for a comfortable everyday fit, and 2.0–2.5 cm if you like it loose or if the design has large beads.
• Common finished lengths are 16 cm (small), 17.5 cm (medium) and 19 cm (large), but we make to your measurement instead of guessing.
• If your wrist measures differently on each hand, or if you want the bracelet to sit higher or lower, tell us — that is the measurement we build to.

How They Are Made

Silver is worked by hand, so links are never perfectly uniform and hammered surfaces carry individual facets. Natural stones and pearls vary in tone, pattern, size and surface. These differences are not defects; they are what distinguishes a handmade piece from a cast one, and they are why no two bracelets are identical.

What Can Be Customised

• Size — send your wrist measurement and how loose you want it, and we build to that figure.
• Clasp — lobster, toggle, OT-clasp, extender chain, or an elastic strand for easy on and off.
• Stones — swap the stone, change the bead size, or ask for a longer or shorter strand.
• Metal — silver, 925 silver, brass, silver-plated or 14K gold-plated copper depending on the design.

Care

Take bracelets off before washing hands, showering, swimming or exercising. Keep pearls and soft stones away from perfume, lotion and household chemicals. Wipe metal with a soft dry cloth after wearing and store each piece separately so harder materials do not scratch softer ones.
