large domed bone bangle 4047

Asymmetrical curved shape created from an angled seam and heat treatment is surfaced and finished to resemble a piece of ivory but this is 100% synthetic materials so no animals are harmed.
The surface is burnished with a felt tipped polishing tool to bring out the semi-matt texture. The heat of the burnishing process fuses the plastic to create the glossy finish seen in the photos.


 Size is a generous 9" (228 mm) circumference large enough to wear on the upper arm.

two large bracelets 4030 4032

This matching pair of large bangles are made from   a single piece of laminated material. The billet was assembled from two pieces of vertically sliced PVC pipe that were solvent welded and separated on a diagonal. The individual pieces were then shaped and finished.

The process emulates the practice of slicing animal horns or bones in segments to create the ivory, bone, and horn bracelets common in indigous cultures but without the obvious negative impacts.
 The top half is item 4030 which has a flared end. You can see the laminating seam near the edge. This piece is 7 1/2" (191 mm) interior circumference and weighs 3.4 oz (98 g) it's about 1 3/4" wide.

The bottom piece item 4032 is slightly larger at 7 3/4" (196 mm) circumference and has more rounded edges. It also weighs in at a full 5 oz (144g) so it's quite massive - in keeping with the design values of the cultural inspiration for these bracelets.

together these are almost 3 wide and 8.6 oz
