Bangles (AKA "Churi") are traditional ornaments worn mostly by South Asian women in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is tradition that the bride will try to wear as many small glass bangles as possible at her wedding and the honeymoon will end when the last bangle breaks. Bangles also have a very traditional value in Hinduism and it is considered inauspicious to be bare armed for a married woman. Toddler to older woman could wear bangles based on the type of bangles. Bangles made of gold or silver are preferred for toddlers.

A general view of the bangle, hot-forged, not my usual method of making jewellery.

A recent commission, each bangle is inscibed with a short quote for each of the kids, and the oining ring, celebrates mum and dad. A lovely idea for a special keepsake.

After about five minutes or so you can really squeeze hard and the layers should be holding together.

A wearable field guide for hiking! Use the bangle to compare to real animal footprints and identify who made them!!

A colorful bangle and a window with oozing sunlight was an irresistable combo. So just clicked one. The texture of the surface is for you to guess ..
