Two-piece bracelet

This black and white bracelet is an iconic piece. It is Françoise van den Bosch’s best known design, and at first glance a self-evident piece. The ingenious design, based on two separate circle-shaped parts that simply slide into one another, is kept in position by the arm.

In 1990, at the occasion of the 10-year anniversary of the Françoise van den Bosch Foundation, jewellery designer Jan Matthesius reproduced this bracelet one hundred times. The popular multiple quickly sold out.

The bracelet in front is one of the multiples from 1990. The one in the back is an original unfinished piece in aluminium from 1970.
