Minimalist - Small Sterling Silver Bangle, Bracelet, open bangle, Hand forged cuff

This modern bracelet is unapologetic in it’s simplicity! Very comfortable to wear giving you the look of multiple bangles in one.

Made with very thick 8 gauge wire, I start by hand shaping the piece and then begin the long process of carefully hammering the solid sterling silver wire all the way round, so that it is evenly shaped. I pay particular attention to the ends, so that they splay outwards. Next I add texture to to design, meticulously working my way around the whole length. The hammering not only adds detail (giving a textured finish), but it also hardens the piece into shape.

Once the shaping of the bracelet is complete, I begin filing and sanding, so that the ends are perfectly smooth and comfortable when against the skin. Once it is finished, the cuff is tumbled, to clean and polish it and then hand polished, with an anti tarnish agent, to bring it to a high shine.

This bangle has an inside circumference of 6 1/2” (including the 1” gap). It measures 1/8” wide.

This item comes in a jewellery box.
