This attractive and easy to wear bangle, set with an opal doublet, would make a marvellous present for a lover of Mucha and Parisian Art Nouveau.  Do ask for more photographs of it on a wrist - this was taken in dead of winter under electric light which does no favours to silver.
 
It may possibly be from the workshop of Michael Bolton although it is a departure from his usual style and we are not certain of the connection with him. Michael’s wife Margaret also made silver jewellery of elegant simplicity and he passed on his skills to a large number of young jewellers who worked with him at various times at his studios at home in Kent and Devon.  
 
Michael Bolton was the most remarkable self-taught silversmith and jeweller who we knew well until his sadly early death in 2005.  He was a larger than life character with a Father Christmas beard who made extraordinary pieces of jewellery and objet d’art and was ready to take on unique and often improbable commissions, some of which, mainly rings set with the most enormous gemstones from India, are in our possession.  He was a perfectly lovely man whose wife Margaret also made beautiful silver jewellery of a slightly less extravagant design.  Michael was also a natural teacher who taught a number of young jewellers their trade.  Rings like this great chunk of silver were his earliest trademark pieces and are highly desirable and enjoyably wearable, not to mention pretty cool.  Michael made jewellery for several of the rockest rock stars who were on the impressive list of his patrons.
