About MeA chunky silver bracelet with a mounted pin and bolt complete with seven silver discs, inlaid with red polyester resin which are joined by a the pin and bolt at the base to allow free movement of each disc rotating around the pin when the bracelet is worn.

Kinetic jewellery, jewellery that moves, was very fashionable in the 1970s.
This piece challenges ideas about wearability as it is heavy and awkward.
