Bangles are rigid bracelets, usually from glass, metal, wood, or plastic. They are traditional ornaments worn mostly by South Asian women in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is a common tradition to see a new bride wearing glass bangles at her wedding. Bangles also have a very traditional value in Hinduism and it is considered inauspicious to be bare armed for a married woman.
Bangles made in RAW, a design I developed.

This is a bangle made for The Wire Artisans Guild challenge Stardust and our great re-opening of our Etsy team store on Valentines day.
The movie Stardust begins and ends with the beautiful Lady Una living in the magical world of Fairie. Lady Una is kept as a slave for Madame Semele. She gives birth to the main character, Tristan, but has to leave him to his father who lives in "the real world". Lady Una is very much a charachter in the background, but the end of the movie reveals her well kept secret.
The colours of Lady Unas teal dress and the yellow/red carriage of Madame Semele (Ditchwater Sal) inspired me to make this bangle.
The bangle and focal, together form a clasp. You can see on the last image how to open and close the bangle. The trick is to angle the focal.
Material:
925 sterling silver and 999 fine silver wire and findings. Alex topaz briolettes (heat treated), ruby leaves and rondelles, citrine briolette and smooth rondelles and white cultured white fresh water pearls. Oxidized and tumbled to a nice shine.
Size:
The bangle fits an arm between 6"-7"/15-17cm. It moves around a bit on a smaller arm.
Faced with turning old canes into mud, I remembered Donna Kato's "what you have" kaleidoscope cane. Didn't make a kaliedoscope though. See cane in the making: flic.kr/p/cjFR3d
Taken at Pondy Bazaar during the 8th Chennai Photowalk. The place was at its cluttered best on Sunday evening, with shoppers and traffic jams galore.
