How Do I Love Thee, Cuff Bracelet

Description

Sweep her away with this bold sterling silver cuff bracelet that carries a subtle message, whispered to her with finely scripted text. The carefully executed hand inscriptions display Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous love poem, "How do I love thee..." in its entirety.

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
~ E. B. Browning"

Wow, now that's poetry! Instead of just another piece of jewelry, you can give this eloquent declaration, a manifesto. The message resonates each time it is worn.

The cuff is almost 1-3/4 inches (4,3cm) at the widest or center, tapering to about 7/8 inch (2 cm) near the ends. The edges are folded and reinforced, and allows for slight adjustments. It has a high polish, making it a bit difficult to photograph. A matte finish can be provided upon request.

Of course you can order another similar cuff with personalized inscriptions that will truly become a keepsake. Please contact me for more details. Shipped via Priority Mail due to the size. Allow up to 7 days for custom inscriptions.
