This silver bracelet goes with Françoise’s silver necklace with the circle-shaped links. This bracelet from her graduation collection is based on the circle. By folding the circles they become even more lush and spatial. The sumptuousness is being restrained by its stark structure, resulting in a modern bracelet.

During her graduation Françoise explored the circle as a form and symbol in nature and art, that led to a final paper. Françoise treated abstract geometric design less dogmatically than many of her contemporaries in visual arts and jewellery design.
