The Hedgerow Bangle was inspired by local hedgerows of Malcolm’s childhood, a design that encapsulates the marvellous entanglement of flora and fauna found in hedgerows. An important habitat for wildlife and a reminder of the vital part that nature plays in our well-being. Alongside hawthorn and hazel leaves, there are berries and nuts, wild roses and an assortment of birds and beasties including a ladybird, ground beetle, comma butterfly, wood mice, hedge sparrow and a willow warbler. The inside of the bangle features one of our favourite nut foragers, the red squirrel!
