Norfolk Shell Charm Bracelet
Holkham Shell Bracelet – Inspired by the Coast, Handmade with Love
Some of my favourite walks are along the Norfolk coastline, and it was during one of those slow, salty strolls at Holkham beach that I found the tiny cockle shell at the heart of this bracelet. I brought it back to my workshop and cast it in sterling silver—a little piece of the shore made permanent in metal.
Each bracelet is made by hand in my North Norfolk workshop, link by link. I love the rhythm of chain making, especially the contrast between smooth and beaded wire, which gives this piece a subtle texture and a beautiful movement. The finished design is one of my most-loved creations—quietly elegant and full of story.
The clasp is a handmade looping catch, strengthened for everyday wear and designed to fit comfortably through any of the links so you can adjust it to suit your wrist perfectly.

Why I Made It
