Rich in detail, movement and handmade character, it captures the eclectic decorative spirit of antique keepsake jewellery in a wearable contemporary form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eVictorian silver charm bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e was one of Simone's most loved and labour-intensive jewellery designs, created entirely by hand over many years before eventually being retired simply because it became too time-consuming to continue producing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the bracelet is a handmade sterling silver chain where every individual link was formed, soldered and hammered by hand. The resulting paperclip-style chain has an organic, softly irregular quality that gives the bracelet warmth and movement impossible to achieve with mass-produced chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuspended from the chain are six different charms inspired by the eclectic decorative world of the Victorian era and its delight in collecting symbolic objects and motifs. Simone often thought of these as reflecting the \"magpie tendencies\" of Victorian design: a mix of flowers, birds, tea culture, romantic flourishes and decorative symbols gathered together into one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour of the charms feature etched designs, including a floral-patterned bird, a bouquet of flowers, a teacup and a hibiscus flower. Two additional charms were entirely hand sawn in sterling silver: a crown and a symmetrical flourish formed from four heart shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough richly detailed, the charms themselves are made from relatively fine silver sheet, allowing the bracelet to remain comfortable and wearable despite the substantial amount of handmade work and silver involved overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bracelet now returns as part of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/from-the-archives\"\u003eFrom The Archives range\u003c\/a\u003e, representing what is very likely one of the final examples of a design that could only realistically ever be made in small numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet fastens with a sturdy sterling silver clasp and can be attached to any link in the chain, allowing the fit to be adjusted easily to suit different wrist sizes and styling preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the \u003ca href=\"[placeholder]\"\u003eCrown Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"[placeholder]\"\u003eHibiscus Flower Sterling Silver Stud Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e for a co-ordinated look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll love:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully handmade sterling silver chain\u003c\/strong\u003e with individually formed and soldered links.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix unique Victorian-inspired charms\u003c\/strong\u003e combining etched and hand-sawn techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEclectic decorative design\u003c\/strong\u003e inspired by antique keepsake and charm jewellery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic handmade character\u003c\/strong\u003e with softly irregular chain links and detailed charms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable fit\u003c\/strong\u003e allowing the clasp to fasten onto any chain link.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabour-intensive archive design\u003c\/strong\u003e retired after years in the collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfortable wearable weight\u003c\/strong\u003e despite the substantial silver and craftsmanship involved.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bracelets-bangles-cuffs\"\u003eHandmade Bracelets\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-jewellery\"\u003eSilver Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e.
