Wild and Free Silk Wrap Bracelet
“ALL GOOD THINGS ARE WILD AND FREE”
Solid copper and hand-dyed silk ribbon wrap bracelet.
The copper has been hand-stamped with the words ‘All Good Things Are Wild and Free’, hammered all over and gently curved to follow the wrist. I love this Thoreau quote; it perfectly illustrates the importance of wilderness and liberty. It reminds me of walks in towering forests, or the view from a high mountain trail, watching birds soar overhead as rabbits stir the undergrowth.
The copper is entirely hand-cut, stamped, forged, textured and oxidised to highlight the detailing, brushed then lightly polished for just the right amount of shine. It’s set onto hand-dyed silk ribbon in beautiful multi-coloured hues of blues, purple, green and orange. The silk ribbon is sewn at the edges to prevent fraying, and is wonderfully soft and comfortable to wear. The ribbon measures approximately 40″ long, perfect for wrapping around the wrist several times.
This bracelet is perfect for summer; equally at home with hiking boots or a summer dress.
Silk wrap bracelets are so easy to wear. Just wrap the ribbon around your wrist as many times as suits, keeping the copper on top of the wrist, and tie the ribbon in the back. The ends can be tucked under or left hanging – you choose. The ribbon can be slid off the copper and washed gently by hand with mild silk detergent.
As each piece is made individually by hand, there may be very slight differences in forging, which will make yours, in some small way, entirely unique to you.
Part of my “Wild Earth” collection, a celebration of the natural world, its landscapes and wild inhabitants. These pieces are created as a reminder that there is no better designer than Nature, and to find enough beauty to fill the soul, we need only look around us.
Designed and lovingly created in my studio in Moray, Scotland.
I work in sterling silver, ancient bronze, copper and brass, with natural semi-precious gemstones. I make pieces which are perfect for layering together, mixing and matching, so you can grow your collection and choose your pieces according to your mood, or the inspiration you want to gain that day.
Each piece is unique. Whilst I may create similar pieces, as every piece is made individually by hand, no two will ever be the same. I am registered with Edinburgh Assay Office for precious metal work.
