Love Letter Bangles

‘Top’ side of the “Live Life” bangle.

For some reason, I have always been drawn to jewellery with words or special meanings as part of their design. I began to wonder how I could incorporate names or words into my polymer clay jewellery, and so my “Love Letters” range of bangles was born.

I am able to use alphabet stamps to impress letters into the polymer clay and apply the clay to a metal core to produce durable bangles with someone’s name or a short affirmation.

Some of my ready-made bangles have messages such as “Faith, Hope, Love”, “Live Life”, “Treasured”, “Beloved”, “Live Strong” and “Love Never Fails”. Life can be very difficult, so a bangle like this can be a word of encouragement or affirmation for yourself or someone you love.
