The quote every piece of jewellery tells a story is applied in a literal sense in Annie Huang's Sense of Belonging bangle. Highlighting the importance of narratives in jewellery making, life stories from individuals are etched onto metal within multiple layers, to be translated by the wearer or the wearer ask the designer/narrator to share the meaning of the story, creating a personal and intimate touch of the collection. The burnished edges and lines of the bangle depicts the depth of human emotions and explores the concept of acceptance and belonging to oneself.
The bangle's imperfection and raw autumn textures resembles the branch on a tree, as if on the verge of peeling, symbolising the vulnerability of nature, but the fact it is still intact also represents the toughness of the bark. This analogy also applies to human nature.
