A twisted silver band bangle takes a single device, the twist of the metal itself, and lets it carry the whole bracelet. There is no stone and no applied ornament, only the way a band of silver turns on itself to catch the light along its length. The twist gives a plain bangle movement and a continuous highlight around the wrist.
The bracelet dates from the third design period, 1951 to 1967, the later years of the Spratling enterprise. Its strength is reduction, the kind of clean, single-gesture design the workshop trusted to stand on proportion alone.
Twisted-band bangles are an enduringly wearable corner of the line, valued for the quiet play of light a simple turn of silver produces.
