Delight Rubellery
Ros Weaver's twin sons like collecting the rubber bands dropped by the postman and wearing them round their wrists. This activity led her to explore other ways of making rubber bands wearable. Delight Rubellery was born. Using half-inch bands in a range of mouthwatering colours, she creates eye-catching yet affordable bracelets and necklaces that make a statement. "There are no jewels, so it's not really jewellery," she says, "I call it rubellery. The most vibrant colours of band come from Kerala in South India, the latex rubber sourced from trees surrounding a village where I have stayed with my kids."
Rubellery is light and comfortable to wear and great news for sensitive skin – unless you happen to have a latex allergy. Ros is happy to make rubellery to commission. Contact: delightrubellery@googlemail.com
