Familyship


My Step-Mother decided it was 'time' to purchase 'familyship' bracelets.

Not wanting to go down the generic Links or Pandora route, we all fell in love with Antonio Ben Chimol's leather rainbow bracelets in a little boutique in a nearby village of Ashburton (Devonshire).

Antonio Ben Chimol knows how to mix passion, courage, elegance, irreverence and provocation into each of his designs.

It is quite obvious his inspiration is taken from unusual places. Technology, mechanics, or aeronautics, which have influenced his creations in their usablity, resistance and originality. What impressed us the most about these bracelets is the versatility. Chimol became known as the first jewellery designer to use the magnetic locking clasp, giving these bracelets a unique edge, simplifying the ease of use as well as increasing their durability.

Made from the finest quality Italian leather and in a range of colours, the bracelets suit both my father (who owns a more sturdy 'manly' version), as well as my teenage sister.

They are definitely a mark of sophisticated style, and a reminder of my strong 'Familyship'.

The only problem is that I now want one in every colour.
