Dear friends,
I am happy and proud to finally show you an extension of my "line", with a different use of silver cutlery.
They are the same old silver plated spoons but turned into bracelets!
I only have a few pieces for now (about 20 pieces), and will be showing and selling them at my stand in the BIG store in Viadukt, during the Kreislauf 4&5 this weekend in Zürich (Friday 16h-21h, Saturday 11h-18 and Sunday 11h-18h),
along with the usual customized spoons, of course!
They will be available for purchase on my website after the Kreislauf .Each bracelet has the name and the year that the pattern was first produced; the ones I have so far range from 1937 to 1961, and each one comes with a fresh water pearl (see pictures).
Come have a look this weekend
