Wide handmade recycled silver hammered organic bangle with dots – Gribbled Bangle from shipwrecked range

Can you imagine diving down to a shipwreck, and coming across this stunning wide bangle in a chest of sunken treasure? Or having it wash up on a sandy beach at your feet as you walk along in the waves?

Made from recycled silver, hammered and punched to create a pattern of dots, it has a nice solid but at the same time, delicate feel, and is extremely tactile. The edges have been smoothed as if by the action of millions of grains of sand and the sea and is incredibly smooth to touch. The inside is covered with a delicate texture left by my beautiful battered old metal hammering block.

I have always loved things which have had previous lives – jewellery and pots in museums where I could imagine all the years of use and other lives those items have touched, and this bangle has that feel about it for me.

I very deliberately made it slightly too large for myself (I have very small wrists) otherwise I would have kept it!! (…I am now in the processs of making one for myself as I love it so much!)

Diameter of this bangle is 6.5 cm
