They also produce beads made from natural materials such as stone, wood, coral and even coconut. As you would expect they also have a range of silver bracelets which require a separate lock which comes in a selection of equally detailed designs.

Story by Kranz and Ziegler Charm Jewellery

Story by Kranz and Ziegler are another interesting brand originating from Denmark who also do things a little bit differently from other brands.
