*SAMPLE SALE!* This listing is for the original sample bangles I created for this design. There are just five available, each with a different phrase, and they are the exact five shown in the images here. They are sold individually, and all are size medium with an inner circumference of 18cm. The inner circumference is the total inside measurement of the bangle, including the gap (which is approximately 2.5cm).

Available for immediate despatch, and all fully hallmarked by the London Assay Office, this is a one-off opportunity to get one of these solid silver bangles for a reduced price of 25% off.

This listing is a sample sale of the originals, so in this case you will receive the exact bangle shown in the images here - please select the wording you require from the menu on the left. If you would like to have a different size or choose some custom wording of your own then please view the main listing for these bangles where these options are available. These are made to order and as such will be at full price.

Hand-stamped in recycled sterling silver, these bangles have a gorgeously tactile hammered surface, with a soft, brushed satin finish that perfectly echoes the gentle sentiments of the words they carry.

Wear them alone as a talisman of encouragement, or stack them together for a jangle of positive thoughts - they also make the perfect gift for anyone in need of a little comfort or who may appreciate a physical reminder that even the toughest times can be overcome!

Sold individually but designed to also be stackable as a set, each of these cuff bangles is entirely handmade and hand-stamped from solid, recycled sterling silver.

Each bangle is 4mm wide and just over 1mm thick, with the length and circumference varying according to the different sizes. They have each been hammered to create a softened texture which moves beautifully in the light, and have a lovely brushed satin finish which is both contemporary and incredibly tactile.

The wording is stamped by hand with 1.5mm high uppercase letters, and as such has an intentionally 'relaxed' freestyle placement with some letters being more pronounced than others. This contributes to the organic feel of each one and means that although made to the same design they are still all unique from each other.

Due to their weight, each bangle has been fully hallmarked by The London Assay Office as 925 Sterling Silver and also includes my own unique sponsor's/makers mark 'KAT'. This serves as a guarantee of authenticity to prove that the metal is of the quality and finesse described.

PUTTING ON AND REMOVING A CUFF BANGLE

Please note that care needs to be taken to ensure cuff bangles are put on and taken off correctly to avoid damaging them. They should always be turned vertically, with the bangle then made to slide gently over the wrist via the gap before being turned to sit flat against it. Removal is done the same way.

This ensures that no unnecessary pressure is put on the metal and that the bangles continue to hold their original C-shape.

Whilst there is some flexibility in the silver to allow for a slight adjustment of the gap in order to ensure a perfect fit, they should never be forcibly opened or closed repeatedly. Doing so will not only cause them to become misshapen, but it will harden the metal and cause stress to the bangle which may eventually cause it to crack and even break - in much the same way a metal paperclip will eventually snap if it is bent too often!

PACKAGING & SHIPPING

Due to size and value, each bangle will be carefully gift wrapped and presented in a ribbon-tied cardboard gift box. All items are sent in mailing boxes, mailing bags or padded envelopes as appropriate.

Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-3 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available at checkout for an additional charge (delivery estimate 1-2 working days).

I always aim to despatch all orders on the same or next working day that they are received, so any upgrade in postage chosen by a customer will be for the purposes of achieving higher priority within the Royal Mail system itself, rather than a faster processing time from me as a seller.

Please be aware that I am unable to guarantee specific delivery times of orders once posted but an estimate will be provided on checkout. This is a guide only.

GIFT WRAP & MESSAGING

If you wish to include a short handwritten message on a tag then I am more than happy to provide this service free of charge. Please enter any required text in the optional box to the left of the images.

In addition, if you wish the item to be sent direct to the recipient, then please make sure the mailing address is correct during the checkout process.
