unusual bracelets

An unusual twist on the classic bangle bracelet, Rosalia Tarigan's design is one of a kind. Javanese artisans use polished sterling silver to create the bangle, engraving both ends with intricate, oxidized designs. Finally, the ends are treated with a subtle hammered finish.

Brazil's Wagner and Cassia use capim dourado or "golden grass" to create their unusual jewellery designs. Here they combine braided ropes of golden grass with black faux leather to create a bohemian wristband bracelet. Antiqued zamac accents and a magnetic clasp complete the design.
