Ensō

This solid sterling silver bracelet (6.5cm diameter) is hand-stamped, bearing the subtle impressions of the maker’s hand. It plays with the idea of the ‘perfect circle’ - featuring a small indent where fire and 9ct gold have met, creating a deliberate imperfection.

Inspired by Zen philosophy and the concept of ensō (円相), this piece reflects the symbolic hand-drawn circle of Zen practice. Ensō represents the absolute, the void, the beginning and end of all things. It is traditionally drawn in a single, uninhibited brushstroke, capturing the state of mind of the artist. Its beauty lies not in perfection, but in asymmetry, irregularity, and openness - signs of both wholeness and humility.

Wearing this bracelet becomes an act of mindfulness. A quiet reminder that you are not fixed, but flowing. That perfection is not required. And that the circle, like life itself, is best understood not as a closed loop, but as a gesture of wholeness that welcomes imperfection.
