For times when you want to convey your feelings with something a little more substantial than a card, why not say it in silver? These contemporary bracelets are designed to provide visible reassurance to the wearer and make sure your message remains in focus.

Entirely handmade to order and 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.

Each bangle is individually handmade to order, so please allow a lead time of up to three days (plus delivery) - this may need to be increased during busier times of the year (such as Christmas). Please be reassured you will be contacted directly if there is likely to be any extension to this for any reason.

The wording is stamped by hand with 1.5mm high uppercase letters, and as such has an intentionally 'relaxed' freestyle placement. This means that the final bangle will likely differ slightly from the ones shown in the images, 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.

You can choose between the five set phrases shown in the listing images, or have a custom phrase of your own included if preferred (limited to 25 characters, including spaces.)

The comfort and fit of a cuff bangle is very much dependant on wrist size, as although there is some flexibility in the metal for adjustment, they should not be repeatedly pulled open or closed (more details on this further down!) To help achieve the most comfortable fit there are three sizes available, with the approximate measurements as follows:

Small (S) - Inner Circumference 17cm
Medium (M) - Inner Circumference 18cm
Large (L) - Inner Circumference 19cm

The inner circumference is the total inside measurement of the bangle, including the gap (which is approximately 2.5cm).

My recommendation is to measure your wrist circumference and select the bangle which is one to two centimetres larger, depending on how tight or loose you wish it to be when worn. If buying for someone as a gift then I would suggest opting for a medium size, as there is some flexibility with the design and this should fit most people - cuffs are easier to extend gently in size than make smaller.

If you require a bespoke size outside of these perimeters then please get in touch and I will do my best to help!

If you elect to have a custom phrase added, then please add your wording in the 'customisation' menu and check carefully to make sure the spelling is exactly as you wish it to appear. Available characters include the alphabet from A to Z in uppercase letters, the numbers 1 to 9, and the ampersand (&) symbol.

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.
