The most refined piece in the Tankin collection.
This bangle is polished first. Then hammered. Then polished again. The result is a surface where the hammer marks are present but encased in shine, felt more than seen when you run your finger across it. The texture is there. The craft is there. But the finish is elevated, considered, the kind of surface that reads as luxurious rather than artisanal.
The substantial half-round profile sits confidently on the wrist. The open ends allow the bangle to be adjusted to fit and worn every day without fuss. Put it on. Bend it to fit. Wear it constantly.
As the bangle moves the high-polish surface catches and shifts light in ways that a plain polished bangle never could, the encased hammer marks creating constantly changing light patterns across the curve. Beautiful in stillness. Extraordinary in motion.
Sterling silver, hammered with high polish, half-round profile. Approximately 65mm interior diameter, adjustable. Handmade in New Zealand by Sue Dunmore, Porini Design Studio.

Every piece is individually crafted in our New Zealand workshop using traditional silversmithing and goldsmithing techniques.
Handforming metal means each item will have subtle variations - this is the hallmark of genuine handcraft, not mass production.
Reviews
I recently had the pleasure of asking Sue the owner to create this beautiful bangle for me, she asked for my wrist size and made it to suit my wrist perfectly and it was all done on line, I absolutely love the craftsmanship and the quality of the bangle, the finished piece felt elegant and timeless and the process felt personal, I was glad to be able to treat my self to a birthday gift that’s coming up soon. Thank you Sue I love it so much.
Fits so well suits any outfit I wear it everyday
