DINERS, DRIVE INS AND DIVES Artisanal Charm Bracelet

Description

The diner is said to date back to 1917 and originated in New Jersey, the brainchild of Jerry O'Mahony. Today what was once only found in the Northeastern United States now exist all over the country. Characterized by late hours, serving all-American comfort food, and with a black and white tiled floor and red imitation leather-covered bar stools, this bracelet pays homage to these fine eating establishments and those who run them.

Inspired by the Food Network television program, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" hosted by Guy Fieri, this bracelet features everything that makes a diner feel like home. On it you will find pewter charms of a chef hat, Coke bottle, slice of pie, hot dog with the works, and a cup of coffee. Joining these are plastic charms of a ketchup bottle, juke box, BIG salad, diner, stack of records, and coffee advertisement, all of which are handmade by me out of hard, durable, but lightweight plastic. The image is one side only and coated with a protective matte sealer. The color scheme is one reminiscent of the interior of a diner, the flat white beads represent plates, there is even a word beat that spells "EAT."

Approximately 8" in length, it is silver-plated curb link with an easy-to-close toggle clap.

I can customize bracelets to reflect your reading, mystery, or other interests. Contact me for further information.

NOTE: Each item I offer is an individually handcrafted, miniature work of art and should be treated as such. Plastic charms, though coated with four layers of acrylic sealer are not waterproof, and because they are plastic should not be exposed to heat, steam, fire or flame. Do not wear in the bath, sauna, or when involved in sports.
