This beautiful oval bangle is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and sustainable design. Each piece is individually handcrafted by Benta and her family in Nairobi, Kenya, using time-honoured sea salt sand casting techniques.
Made from 100% recycled aluminium, this bangle transforms reclaimed material into a stylish accessory. Aluminium is one of the world's most sustainable metals, capable of being recycled repeatedly without losing quality and requiring significantly less energy than producing new aluminium. Choosing recycled materials helps reduce waste and supports a circular economy.
Despite its bold, sculptural appearance, the bangle is surprisingly lightweight, making it comfortable for all-day wear. Its elegant oval shape makes an effortless statement on its own, or you can stack it with other bangles for a modern, layered look.
Every bangle is unique, bearing the subtle marks of its handmade origin. By choosing this piece, you are directly supporting fair, sustainable employment for artisan families and helping to preserve traditional craftsmanship for future generations.
