How to size your wrist

Either measure the internal diameter of a bangle which you wear and is comfortable or, alternatively, tuck your thumb into your palm and wrap a measuring tape around your knuckles. This will give you the circumference measurement you need to size your wrist.

Necklace size guide

16" (Choker length)

Let's start with the choker length necklace - it's like a whisper of elegance around your neck, adding a touch of sophistication without being too flashy. All my necklaces are available in this length.

18" (Princess length)

Gracefully drapes just below the collarbone, offering a timeless and refined look that's suitable for any occasion. All my necklaces are available in this length.

20" (Matinee length)

The matinee length typically falls just above the bustline and is often used for more formal occasions or when you want to make a statement with your necklace. It's great for pairing with higher necklines. All my necklaces are available in this length.

30" (Opera length)

Long, luxurious, and oh-so glamorous. It makes a statement without saying a word, ideal for dark tops or dresses. Take a look at my Holkham Acorn necklace or my Star Anise necklace for this length.

Description

Gentle Tide Wave Bangle – A Soft Ripple of Silver Inspired by Quiet Seas

This bangle is inspired by those peaceful tide pools and softly shifting waters along the Norfolk coast. The Gentle Tide Wave Bangle has a smooth, undulating curve—less dramatic than the High Tide version, but just as mesmerising. It’s a quiet reflection of the sea on calmer days.

Handmade in my North Norfolk workshop, each bangle starts life as 2.5mm thick sterling silver wire, which I cut, form, solder, and then send to the Birmingham Assay Office for hallmarking. Once the circle is perfectly shaped, the fun begins—using a die press and one of my heaviest hammers (a brass-headed beauty!), I carefully shape each bangle into its unique wave. Every curve is slightly different, just like the tides.

This style is perfect for stacking—pair it with a smooth bangle for that soft clinking sound that brings to mind sails in the harbour. If you’d like to personalise it, you can also add a tiny initial charm (approx. 0.8cm) stamped by hand.

Meaning & Gifting
This is a lovely piece for those who find calm by the sea. A gentle, everyday bangle that makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, special moments, or as a quiet reminder to pause and breathe.

Packaging & Extras
Your bangle will arrive beautifully presented in a white Claire Howard Jewellery box, embossed with my signature gold flower logo and tied with ribbon. Inside, you’ll find a care card to help keep your jewellery looking its best, a polishing cloth, and a handwritten thank-you card—because every order is special. If you’d like to include a gift message or a gift bag, simply add them at checkout.

A Little Whimsy
The rhythm of this bangle feels like a whispered lullaby from the sea—steady, soothing, and always returning. A silver ripple to wear wherever you go.
