Golden Fern Bangle

She has stopped beside a little plant nursery on her way home, drawn in by the rows of green leaves spilling from pots along the entrance. Somewhere among them is a fern, its slender shape filled with repeating little leaflets. The decorative front of this gold bangle has a similar flowing arrangement, with a central line of angled gold forms running along its length. Open rectangular sections sit on either side, their curved edges following the widening shape of the bangle. The pattern gathers into a raised, elongated section that tapers towards the narrower band, giving the gold a beautifully defined outline. Its side profile reveals the depth of the openwork and the way the gold curves meet along the centre. The back of the bangle continues as a smooth, slender band, with a hinged opening and a fine safety chain attached near the fastening. It would make a lovely companion for someone who enjoys jewellery with recognisable patterns drawn from the world around her. Perhaps she leaves the nursery with a little fern for her windowsill, smiling at the unexpected resemblance between its leaves and the gold around her wrist.
