The bangle's tale
The bangle has long been a hero piece in any jewelry collection. Now this mover and shaker must learn that there is always room for one more.
“I have a history, you know. A narrative that unfolds along the contours of my silhouette to end in freedom. Hyperbole? Not when you know my destiny. It ties me to the Mozambique tribes who were sent to labor on the islands of the Indian Ocean. Fugitive slaves traded their only possession, my solid silver ancestor, for the chance to continue on their way as free men and women. In my original state, I am cut through my middle. Cut free from a life of subservience. Instilled with this founding myth, I underscore each movement. I accentuate allure. I transform words into a declaration of peace – hippies adored me – or love, when my name is Happy Hearts or L’Heure du Diamant (Chopard), Coco Crush (Chanel), Love (Cartier) or Possession Pop (Piaget). I have em- braced the lighter side of life. Made new friends. Oh, the jingle-jangle of our bodies side by side. What a commotion! The bangle is versatile by nature. I chime with this cheery music. I sing out in a multi-part harmony. I feature in abundance — the latest narrative trend — in #stackingguides and #jewelerytours that garner millions of TikTok views. Caught among a profusion of happy memories, protective charms and attraction bracelets, I insist that we are ‘stronger together’ as a matter of form. But don’t be fooled. Even struck motionless, when it comes to style, I set the tempo!” /public-objects/5099e592-616d-4bb5-bf0a-5a14843e406f-cf40f036-57b9-4a3a-a4aa-5743d890040e-2088f321-a06a-4fcc-8e44-c3d6cf4dff52-adfb425d-cc2d-4dbf-944a-26e4ae98630a-Possession%20Piaget%201486144.webp Image sélectionnée
