This captivating clamper bangle by Angela Caputi showcases her signature flair for bold, artistic designs. Made from lightweight resin, the bangle features a striking two-tone aesthetic with opaque black contrasting with a translucent, micro-flecked pale silver, creating a glistening effect that catches the light beautifully. Its asymmetric design adds a modern, geometric touch, whilst the spring mechanism hinge ensures easy wear and a comfortable fit, opening effortlessly to slip on and off. The bangle measures 18cm internal circumference and weighs 41.1 g, making it substantial yet light enough for all-day wear. In very good condition, this piece embodies Caputi’s legacy of creating wearable art. The super smart interplay of black and pale silver makes it a versatile statement accessory, perfect for both casual outings to evening and formal events. Angela Caputi, born in Florence, founded her eponymous brand, Angela Caputi Giuggiù, after becoming a widow with two children to support. From her workshop near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence’s Palazzetto Mediceo, she has crafted bold, statement costume jewellery, using lightweight synthetic resins to achieve vibrant colours and oversized shapes. Inspired by American films, everyday life, and a passion for fashion, Caputi’s designs often feature geometric lines and a nuanced play of hues, earning her international acclaim. Her pieces have adorned films, television shows, and runways, and are displayed in prestigious museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Pitti Palace’s Museo degli Argenti in Florence. Caputi has received numerous accolades, such as the Fiorino d’Oro, Florence’s highest honour, for her contributions to the city’s prestige, and continues to create wearable art that blurs the line between fine and faux jewellery.
