Personalise Your Bracelet
Description

The beads in The Loch Lomond are turned from oak staves reclaimed from a whisky distillery in the Loch Lomond area of Scotland. The staves spent years holding maturing Scotch whisky before being reclaimed and worked by hand. The deep grain, the warm tones, the subtle character in every bead are written into the wood by years of maturation.

Eighteen of the twenty beads are turned from these staves. The remaining two are unique pairings of contrasting British timbers, chosen by the maker for each individual bracelet. No two bracelets will ever be identical.

Every bead is hand turned, sanded, sealed and finished with three coats of museum grade microcrystalline wax. Satin finish, warm to the touch. Strung on strong elastic with a sterling silver Rolf Skeldon tag. Presented in a gift box.

Editors Note

Our wooden bead bracelets are strung on thick natural rubber blended with organic cotton cord for durability, elasticity, and comfort. The natural unbleached cord is chosen to complement the wood rather than compete with it.

For the definitive version, the optional silver charm is a solid recycled silver cast of our Kicking Ass logo, hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office. Made in small batches, it adds a handcrafted finishing detail that is entirely unique to our handmade bead collections. Select the Silver Charm option above if you would like one added to your bracelet.

Size Guide

Our bracelets have an 8-inch circumference and are designed for wrists measuring 7 to 8 inches. On a 7-inch wrist, the bracelet will fit loosely. On an 8-inch wrist, it will fit snugly.  

To measure your wrist, wrap a flexible tape measure just above your wrist bone where a watch sits.

Details & Care

Hand turned wooden beads are not identical. Each one is worked individually on a lathe, shaped by hand, and inspected before finishing. You may notice small differences in size, shape, and grain pattern between beads. This is what handmade means.

Wooden beads are durable but benefit from a little care. Keep away from water and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Surface marks through everyday wear are normal and part of the natural ageing of the wood. Store in the gift box provided and clean gently with a dry lint free cloth.
