La Petite Serie

EFFORTLESSLY CHIC

I created this cuff bracelet as an expression of my love of history, art, fantasy, Paris, & that feminine "je ne sais quoi." The Josephine Bracelet is an ode to a bygone era Parisien.

FEMININE. ROMANTIC. TIMELESS.

I've taken my favorite images of Paris and fashioned them into a cuff bracelet; with images that are centered around one theme. I've named this Petite Serie - Josephine.

Josephine Baker. Also known as the Black Venus, the Black Pearl, the Creole Goddess, or simply La Baker. Singer, Dancer, Movie Star, Civil Rights activist, member of the French Resistance (during WWII). The original DIVA sang, danced and shimmied her way across Europe. She fell in love with Paris, and Paris fell in love with her. She was larger than life when she was alive, and is even larger afterlife. The Creole Goddess is, quite simply, my hero!

COLORFUL. WHIMSICAL. UNIQUE.

This bracelet is made using 8 Bamboo tiles. Each individual tile contains an affixed altered art image (I photographed), then I "wire-weave" the tiles together and "wire-weave" a box clasp onto the ends.

This cuff bracelet's dimensions: 8"x1.5" with a 1.5"x1" goldtone/filigreed box clasp - secure, easy to close & open, and very pretty. I've got a wonderful friend in Shanghai who hand-makes my clasps:)

I'd love to hear what you think. If you have questions, suggestions, comments feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Vivre les Divas!

WHICH ONE SUITS YOU BEST?
