This sterling silver bracelet features a single hydrangea bud. Each bud is hand fabricated using silver imprinted with dried hydrangea flowers to create a unique tiny arrangement. This process means that no two bracelets are exactly the same.

The back surface of the hydrangea bud charm is imprinted with a leaf skeleton. The bracelet chain is made from sterling silver and is 18cm in length. The clasp can be fixed on any of the links so the length is adjustable.

This piece explores themes of transforming fragility into strength.

Hydrangea petals look fragile but are amazingly strong. The petals are selected after the flowers have dried out and survived all the weather that autumn and winter can throw at them. These petals imprint into annealed silver in an incredibly detailed way. Each flower bud is ‘planted’ into a silver cup.
