Amore! Amore! Amore! - SOLD

Amore (pronounced ah-MOH-ray) is Italian for "love" and boy is love in the air (or maybe it's the caffeine that is in the system that's driving me a little loopy ... hahahaha).

I've been so inspired by Belinda's charm bracelets, especially the latest Pink Amour and Mademoiselle, that I had to whip up something "charming" too. This bracelet is rich in symbolism:

• It is made up of three strands -- three, according to some cultures, is the number of completeness;
• It features freshwater and glass pearls -- pearls are a traditional symbol of love, success and happiness (which is why they are so popular for weddings); and
• A sparkling Swarovski heart is a focal point. A little cupid (another love symbol) attaches the heart charm to the bracelet. This site explains how the heart shape became the icon for love.

Amore! Amore! Amore! also includes pewter spacers, Swarovski crystals and Czech beads. Toggle clasp is white gold plated and bracelet measures 7 inches.

Look out for BlingHome! wine-glass charms which will feature little Swarovski hearts. I'm making them now and will post pics in a couple of days. The Love Charms would make a fun bridal shower, wedding or even anniversary gift. Watch this space....
