Accessorise with a purple cuff bracelet adorned with yellow butterflies by Joanne Cox Jewellery via Etsy. Made from anodised aluminium, the colour is locked and will not flake or peel. The cuff has been hand made, printed and dyed by designer Joanne Cox in her studio. Price £45.
Joanne graduated from university with a degree in Applied Arts Jewellery/Metalwork in 2004. She is inspired but nature on country walks, taking photographs of anything she finds appealing. Working with anodised aluminium enables her to explore her love of combining colour with pattern as the oxide layer on the aluminium surface is porous allowing dyes and pigments into its layer which are then locked into the surface – so not much room for mistakes!
