Parti Bangles

The word parti - in architectural speak - is the initial idea sketch. The first step. With these bangles, we wanted to honor Geoffrey Bawa's design process. He was the father of the Tropical Modernism style in architecture. It's a very distinct and varied style - the main link we noticed was the fluctuation between rigidity and fluidity. This bangle set harnesses that same energy and pays tribute to his process.   Each bangle is made by hand to order. Please anticipate a 2-4 week processing time.  Sizing: A small bracelet will fit a wrist between 5.5-6" A medium bracelet will fit a wrist between 6-6.5" A large bracelet will fit a wrist between 6.5-7" I make every order by hand, so if you need a custom size please include a message when you are checking out.  5% of proceeds will be donated to Refugees International.   About Geoffrey Bawa -  Deshamanya Geoffrey Manning Bawa (1919-2003) was a Sri Lankan architect.
