The Thomas Crown Affair (Monet)

Description

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 Monet 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 - Monet - consisting of my favorite works by Claude Monet.

This bracelet was inspired by the film The Thomas Crown Affair (1999). The story opens with the self-made billionaire, super hot, Thomas Crown stealing Monet's "San Giorgo Maggiore at Dusk" from the Metropolitan Museum of Art [the centermost tile in the above picture]. Insurance investigator, Catherine Banning, arrives to assist the police investigating the case. Of course, from their first meeting, the sparks fly! After a sexy game of cat-and-mouse, Crown and Banning admit their passionate love for each other and the film ends with them flying to Paris! It's worth the price of the rental alone just to experience Banning's fashion! Banning is glorious in her fantabulous Diva-ness [see Diva Bond - Cote D'Azur Bracelet]; and Crown? - C'est Magnifique! For me, the best thing about this film is that's it's about the love affair between two mature adults. They make 40+ look really good - and so does this bracelet.

COLORFUL. WHIMSICAL. UNIQUE.

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

This 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 from you. If you have questions, suggestions, comments feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Vivre les Divas!
