I was thrilled to receive the silk covered bangles I had ordered from India a little while back…they actually arrived pretty quickly. What really caught my attention even before opening the little parcel was the fact that the outer wrapping was made of a sort of muslin or cotton which had been carefully stitched by hand. You might just be able to see that in my photograph here.

The actual bangles are in gorgeous jewel colours in a couple of different sizes. These are gifts for myself, a good friend and my daughter (who will very likely end up with my set as well!)
