Finn Banwell Handmade Silver Chain Bracelet
£895
Finn Bawell When walking along Bristol Harbour, I am drawn to the chains, whether still in use or long since retired. I am compelled to touch them. For such a simple form, they hold remarkable qualities: strength and weight, movement and rhythm, and the patina that develops only through time and use. Inspired by Bristol’s maritime and industrial heritage, this bracelet reflects the role of chains in shaping the city—from the tension of the Clifton Suspension Bridge to the anchor chains of the SS Great Britain.

When walking along Bristol Harbour, I am drawn to the chains, whether still in use or long since retired. I am compelled to touch them. For such a simple form, they hold remarkable qualities: strength and weight, movement and rhythm, and the patina that develops only through time and use. Inspired by Bristol’s maritime and industrial heritage, this bracelet reflects the role of chains in shaping the city—from the tension of the Clifton Suspension Bridge to the anchor chains of the SS Great Britain.
To create it, scrap silver is melted and drawn into wire; then, formed into jump rings, each link is fused at the join. This process references traditional, industrial chain-making while transforming the form into contemporary jewellery. Ultimately, the work considers the chain as both a functional object and a material record of labour, connection, and time.
Dimensions: 8 inches length.links approx 1.4cm wide.
Materials: Silver
