Discover a piece that tells a story with this distinctive disc bangle, handcrafted by Benta and her family in Nairobi, Kenya. Each bangle is a testament to traditional artistry, made using time-honoured sea salt sand casting techniques.
Crafted from 100% recycled aluminium, this bangle embodies a commitment to sustainable practices. Aluminium is one of the world's most sustainable metals, capable of being recycled repeatedly without losing its inherent quality, and doing so uses significantly less energy than producing new metal. Choosing recycled materials not only helps reduce waste but also ensures your jewellery is designed to be cherished for years to come.
Though bold and sculptural in appearance, this bangle is surprisingly lightweight, making it comfortable for everyday wear. Its disc shape with narrow edges creates an effortless statement, perfect for wearing on its own or stacking with other favourite bangles for a modern, layered look.
Every bangle is individually handcrafted, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This uniqueness adds to its charm and character. By choosing this piece, you are directly supporting fair, sustainable employment for artisan families and helping to preserve traditional craftsmanship for future generations.
