My jewellery collection is one of the most treasured things that I own and each piece tells a story. Whether a piece of jewellery was given to me by a friend, picked up on my travels or worn on a special occasion, it remains dear to me.
One of my favourite jewellery designers Monica Vinader recently extended the hand of friendship with a very special gift. I was sent a beautiful Bali Friendship Bracelet with Chérie City thoughtfully engraved.
The bracelet features a hammered oval in 18ct Gold Plated Vermeil on Sterling Silver with an adjustable cord. The luxurious plaited cord is a deep red for ‘luck’ and can be easily adjusted, so it’s sure to fit however you wear it.
I have already worn my bracelet around town and it’s quite a conversation starter, as everyone wants to know the story behind the engraving.
I sometimes style it up with a few slim bracelets or my Liberty scarf watch, but mostly I like to make it the main feature on my wrist and pair it with my favourite Zoe & Morgan peacock necklace, Jade Jagger arrow necklace, Pilgrim blue flower necklace (a gift from my friend while we were at uni) or my Hermès x Liberty scarf.
Monica Vinader bracelets look fabulous stacked up, so I’m keen to add to my collection with the stunning Baja, Fiji and Esencia bracelets. I also love that the pieces are mostly named after fabulous, exotic destinations, almost as if they are encouraging you to travel and see the world.
A Monica Vinader friendship bracelet is the perfect gift for a friend (or a personal treat) and a grown-up way to renew vows of friendship with your closest girlfriends. Best of all, the engraving service via the website is free on all engravable pieces and you can select a font or really customise it by uploading your own handwriting or doodle.
