Drawing inspiration from pond and ripples, this organic textured small disk and ball chain sterling silver bracelet looks unique and modern.

The ‘Pond’ shape was originally inspired by the Kyoto Garden in a part of Holland Park, London which is Yuki’s local park now. That traditional Japanese garden area is very different from other parts of Holland Park. A big pond is surrounded by well trimmed trees, stones and lawns, but somehow the garden is harmonised with the Victorian English park and is a very popular area of the park. It was a wonderful experience to see different cultural background’s people all with a different sense of beauty enjoying and sharing the same garden.

Dimensions: 13 x 3 mm pond disk, adjustable chain length: 150-180 mm.

Handmade in London.
