The story behind the piece
Astra Bracelet
Brass, shaped and finished by hand in small batches by the makers we work with. No two pieces are quite identical — the small marks of the making are part of their character.
Astra Bracelet
The Astra Bracelet begins with a sense of discovery: the quiet pull of something shaped by time, found in the space between ornament and object. Its form is restrained but not without presence, carrying the weight of an artefact made to be worn and remembered. It settles against the wrist with the ease of something familiar, as though its place there has always been known.
At its centre, a blue apatite reveals subtle movement beneath the surface — a softened, mineral blue that shifts with the light. Set with intention, allowing the composition to remain focused on proportion and form.
Cast in solid brass and finished by hand, the piece evolves over time — deepening into a warmer, more nuanced tone with wear. A natural patina that reflects use, not age.
Details
Arrives considered and ready to wear — equally suited to being kept, or given.
Brass is a living metal. Over time it warms and darkens into a soft patina, which is part of its character, not a flaw. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. To bring back the shine, rub gently with a little lemon juice and baking soda, then rinse and dry well.
Take it off before swimming, showering or exercising, and keep it away from perfume, lotions and direct sunlight. Store it on its own, ideally in its pouch or box, so pieces don't scratch each other.
Natural stones can chip or crack if knocked against hard surfaces, so take extra care with this piece.
Brass can leave a faint green mark on some skin. It's harmless and washes off with soap and water.
