Golden Ribbon Bangle

The train ticket is booked, the suitcase is open, and she is deciding which favourite things to take along. This bangle would be an easy choice, with its smooth, rounded gold form and beautifully polished finish. A broader section follows part of the circumference, meeting a slimmer section that continues around the wrist. The edges are softly rounded, giving the gold a pleasing shape when seen in profile. A hinge allows the bangle to open, and the fastening is accompanied by a delicate safety chain made of closely linked gold segments. The chain forms a loose loop beside the bangle, adding a little movement to its clean circular shape. There is a lovely simplicity to the way the gold has been shaped, particularly where the broader and narrower sections meet. Perhaps it will be there in the photographs taken along the way, a small golden detail attached to a journey she will remember for years.
