LOVE | CHUNKY HEART BRACELET

The Present You Do Not Have to Wait For

Some things you wait to be given. This is one you can simply choose for yourself. The LOVE Bracelet is a chunky chain of thick oval links with a smooth polished bar across the front and a little puffed heart hanging at the side. It has a proper weight to it, the kind you notice all day rather than forget by lunchtime, and the heart is left plain so it can mean whoever, or whatever, you decide it means.

Six Things the LOVE Bracelet Gets Right

✔ A Weight You Can Feel: Proper chunky ovals rather than a fine chain that disappears on the wrist, with a polished bar across the front that gives it real substance.

✔ A Heart That Is Yours to Mean What You Like: Smooth, rounded and completely plain, with nothing written on it, so it can stand for whoever you choose.

✔ A Proper Clasp and a Safety Chain: A lobster clasp big enough to work on your own, with a fine safety chain running alongside the links.

✔ It Looks Far Dearer Than It Is: The polished bar catches the light and the links read as solid, so people ask where it is from rather than what it cost.

✔ Gold or White Gold: Warm gold with a gold heart, or a cool white gold with a pearly white heart. Both sit happily beside a wedding ring.

✔ An Everyday Bracelet, Not an Occasion One: It goes on in the morning and stays on, from the garden centre to a christening, instead of living in a box waiting for a day that never comes.

“Sue picked up my wrist at the coffee morning and asked who had given it to me. I said I did.”
