Dotted chain bracelet with diamond pendant

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

A fine line tattoo shows a thin solid line and a row of small dots forming a chain that wraps around the wrist, with a short dotted strand hanging down to a small outlined diamond pendant. The linework is delicate and even, in black ink with no shading. The image is a sepia-toned close crop of the hand and wrist, with the tattoo centred and the design clearly visible.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Harold Wenlock had mended chains for thirty-one years in a cramped room above a pawnbroker on Vyse Street, and he could tell a good link from a bad one by weight alone. The thing that came across his bench on a wet Tuesday in September was neither. It was a length of gold so fine it looked drawn in pencil, a row of tiny beads strung between two hairline wires, and a kite-shaped stone hanging from the end like a drop of rain that had decided to stay.

The tag said Mrs Adeyemi. She wanted the clasp replaced. Her husband had bought the chain from a stall in Digbeth in 1968, she said, and it had never once come off in all that time. Harold tried the clasp and found it sound, and told her so. She shook her head and said the clasp was not the trouble. The stone kept working loose, and she kept finding it at the bottom of her handbag among the bus tickets and the boiled sweets.

He carried the piece to the lamp. The setting was worn so thin it was almost a bead itself. He reset the stone, soldered the loose ring, and rubbed the whole thing with a chamois until the gold stopped looking tired. Then, without quite meaning to, he counted the dots between the wires. There were a hundred and four, the same way his father used to count the beads of a rosary in the back pew of St Joseph's.

When she came back on Thursday he had it boxed in tissue. She held it up to the window, turned it over, and laughed at the solder joint he had been most careful about. "You've made it look like it was always meant to be that way," she said. Harold did not tell her he had kept back the spare stone from the old setting, the one that had fallen out in the tray and rolled under the bench. He put it in the drawer with the other lost things and shut the drawer gently, as if it might wake.
