Theo Fennell on the inspiration behind his fundraising bracelet:

‘‘I wanted to design something that perfectly captured the efforts of the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation…”

‘‘I wanted to design something that perfectly captured the efforts of the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation and was instantly recognisable, but also something of quality that people want to wear. In a moment of clarity, I developed the vertebrae idea; I wanted something stylised and timeless that incorporated them. The beads can be bought individually.’’

Theo Fennell, jewellery designer.
