Our Nanook Bangle is based on the first feature documentary...
Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North (1922) was the first feature documentary to achieve recognition and success. After two years of shooting hours of Inuit life, in 1916 Flaherty dropped a cigarette onto the highly flammable camera negative and lost 30,000 feet of film. Undeterred, he spent four years raising the funds before returning to the Canadian Arctic to re-shoot!
925 sterling silver, harvested from film processing at Cinelab UK
Our Nanook Bangle along with all our jewellery is hallmarked at Goldsmith's Company Assay Office, guaranteeing the precious metal is of the finest standard. From The Silver Screen's personal hallmark is also applied to each piece.
Authentic 16mm Film Can Jewellery Box
Not only is our silver upcycled from its special origins, but so too is the packaging! All of our Film Firsts jewellery will come encased in an original 16mm film can, for another cinema keepsake. This repurposed, sheet metal tin would have been holding real film stock from a production shot within the last year.
Love the bangle. Can't believe the silver comes from film!
Really love the texture and fit of this bangle. Amazing to think the silver has been up-cycled from film! As someone who has worked in the industry for a while now, this feels a very apt and special piece of jewellery to have.
