The 2024 Bangle
The Banchory Bangle design for 2024 is ‘Hedgerow’. It reflects the important part that Nature plays in our well-being.
The design is inspired by the variety of plant and animal life that inhabits our hedgerows. Set amidst a background of hawthorn, wild-rose, and other plants, with leaves, berries, hazel nuts and flowers reflecting health and profusion. There is a willow-warbler, a hedge sparrow, lady-birds, wood mice, a ground beetle and a comma-butterfly. The inner side of the bangle is decorated with more hedgerow and a red squirrel running around the inside.
Once again, Scottish Engraver Malcolm Appleby has created a unique work of art for Children First. There are three prizes this year, a silver gilt, a silver and a bronze version. The Banchory Bangle remains a highly-prized piece of jewellery which has been won over the years by many people - there are now bangles throughout Scotland, the UK and well beyond. This year's design is a celebration of the precious biodiversity incorporated in a hedgerow, and makes a glorious bangle for 2024.
