This bold, sculptural bangle is a true statement piece, yet surprisingly lightweight for comfortable all-day wear. Its geometric octagon shape makes it perfect for wearing on its own or stacking with other bangles for a modern, layered look.
Every bangle is individually handcrafted, meaning no two are exactly alike, ensuring you receive a truly unique item. By choosing this piece, you are supporting fair, sustainable employment for artisan families and helping preserve traditional craftsmanship for future generations.
Recycled aluminium is one of the world's most sustainable metals. It can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality, using only a fraction of the energy required to produce new aluminium. Choosing recycled materials helps reduce waste while creating beautiful, durable jewellery designed to be cherished for years to come.
