The Tailwind bracelet is one of the designs that followed swiftly behind, as I started making pieces for The Windblown Collection. It is elegant and understated, with its V charm closely binding it in with the rest of the collection.
Subtle and pretty, it is a delight to wear on its own or as a perfect partner to other pieces in the collection, particularly the Tailwind Ring or anklet, and Zephyr earrings or necklace.
Threaded onto a delicate cable chain, the tubes at the top of the V-shaped charm give it freedom of movement back and forth: it falls where it pleases in any given moment and is ideal for those of us who like to have something to touch and play around with, as we think or daydream.
I can adjust the length of the bracelet chain to suit your requirements, but if you would like a different length from the standard detailed here, please state this in the comments when you place your order, or send me an email. There is further information in the dropdown section ‘Chain lengths and ring sizes’, below.
The detail
The Windblown Collection signature V charm measures 9mm long from top to bottom, 9mm side to side and 0.7mm front to back, with the tubes measuring 2mm diameter width and 3mm long. The standard length of the bracelet chain is 16.4cm/6.5", with six 4mm extension rings, each of which can be used to anchor the spring ring clasp. A 3mm and 2mm jump rings descend to finish the chain beautifully, its shortest length being 17.8cm/7" and its longest being 18.2cm/7.2".
Chain lengths and bespoke bangle and ring sizes
You are welcome to request a specific length of necklace chain, and/or an exact ring size. There is no extra charge for this service, but please do ensure you specify your requirements within the comments when placing your order. Alternatively, if you have any queries or wish to amend an order you have already made, please email me on dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk
Necklace, bracelet, bangle or anklet lengths:
Simply take a tape measure and loop around your neck, wrist or anklet (you may need someone to help), or even better use a necklace, bracelet or anklet that is of the length you would like and measure it from end to end (including catches and clasps)
For further help, please check out my handy guide to necklace lengths!
Ring sizes:
If you are unsure of your size, I would strongly recommend purchasing a ring sizer like this one (£1.20). Please note that this is for illustration purposes only; I have no affiliation with Amazon or this seller and you can obviously choose to buy these from other providers).
Alternatively this guide will help you find the correct measurement for the finger you wish to wear the ring on. Please double check before sending your order and bear in mind that your knuckle which the ring needs to move over, may be bigger than the base of your finger where it will sit.
Bespoke requests
I have presented the standard options for variation – such as size variations, satin or high shine finish - and you may select these to suit your preferences when placing your order.
If you love a design, but would like another finish not listed, such as the item in gold, gold plate, two different metals, or with the extra touch of a stone (or stones) added, please contact me direct, by emailing your contact phone number to dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk.
It is best for me to talk to you about what you would like, and I can provide you with a bespoke quotation, with no obligation.

Hallmarking
Legally in the UK, any silver piece of silver jewellery weighing more than 7.78g, must be hallmarked in order to be sold as silver. Many of my creations weigh less than this, but I sometimes choose to get them hallmarked anyway (see individually listings).
Jewellers who use hallmarks, are reassuring you of the quality of precious metal they use, ensuring your chosen piece stays special long into the future.
You can learn more about what the hallmarks mean and why they are important in this pdf, or watch the video below.
