Twisted Bangle Bracelet

For the woman whose preferred shape is a circle that turns.

This 18k yellow gold twisted hinged bangle bracelet runs a continuous spiral of polished gold around the wrist, the surface twisted at a steady angle so the bangle catches and releases the light at every movement. The profile is rigid, the rhythm is liquid. A discreet hinge at one side lets the bangle open for the wrist and a hidden box clasp closes it without breaking the line of the spiral. The metal is 18k Italian gold, struck with the 750 millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic provincial goldsmithing.

The twisted bangle is one of the Florentine bench's oldest forms. The technique was perfected on the Ponte Vecchio after 1593, when the Medici officially registered the bridge as the home of the goldsmith's trade, and the angle of the twist became the signature of the master who finished it. The continuous reflection the bangle gives off the wrist is the reflection of light off the Arno at midday, gold turning back into water.

This is the bangle for the woman who wants one piece that reads as motion. The piece that moves with the wrist instead of sitting on it.

It reads classical. It reads stackable. It reads unmistakably Italian.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. 18k yellow gold, 750 millesimal fineness, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the bangle leaves Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee resizing included.
