about Bo

Bo is famed for her beautiful handcrafted twisted sterling silver hearts entwined with semi-precious stones and crystals - recently featured on GMTV. You can see some of her work on this website, and more at     www.bobanglesbrides.co.uk.

 Bo's jewellery has been chosen for the 2005 GMTV interactive bride and is regularly worn by celebrities Clare Nasir, Kate Garraway, Penny Smith, Emma B, Eastender's Laurie Brett, and Craig Revel Horwood of Strictly Come Dancing.

There's a wide range of styles to suit different necklines, hairstyles and material - whether it's delicate silk or sumptuous suede. From intricate hand-fashioned silver hearts set with Swarovski crystals or Mother of Pearl shell set off with pearls of unusual shapes and a hint of diamante.

Bo came to jewellery making after her father died. She felt strongly that she wanted to create something that was everlasting. After a training course on silver jewellery making, Bo Bangles was born.

Bo's work is inspired by a large array of influences, born in the USA, Bo has spent her life in Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Nigeria, Somalia, Ethiopia, Cuba - but is now settled in London.

Bo Bangles uses the highest quality Sterling Silver from Hatton Garden for hearts. The crystals are Swarovski crystals Some crystals also have special coatings (e.g. Aurora Borealis) applied to enhance the rainbow appearance of the refraction. Although Swarovski crystals are not strictly diamond replicants, they share much of the beauty of natural diamond.
