Carmen Opera Bracelet

What are
Opera Bracelets?
Opera Bracelets are jewelry
with a unique narrative design
that lets the wearer celebrate
favorite operas.
The bracelets literally help the
wearer remember special
opera moments.
Each bracelet uses symbolic
beads and charms to tell the
opera’s story, but you might
be wondering how...

How a bracelet tells a story:
“Full Story Bracelets”
“Full Story” Opera Bracelets literally tell the story of an
opera from beginning to end. Here you see the popular
opera Carmen as an example of how each bead and charm
symbolizes a character, event or aria. The story begins
with Carmen singing the Habanera, “Love is a
rebellious bird…” (upper right – bird charm). The opera ends
with Carmen’s death and Escamillo’s victory at the end of
the spiral in the center of the picture. These bracelets come
with a chart which tells the story of the opera and explains
the meaning of the beads and charms.

The “Inspired By…” series of Opera
B r a c e l e t s c e l e b r a t e s
individual characters, arias or
moments of operas. The Habanera
and Toreador Song Bracelets
symbolize those specific well known
arias from Carmen, rather than
telling the entire story as the
Carmen Opera Bracelet does.
“Inspired By…” Bracelets come
with a card explaining the
bracelet's meaning.
Evoking arias,
characters and
moments

Why should you choose an Opera Bracelet?
An Opera Bracelet is a handmade, unique piece of
wearable artwork. Each is individually designed and
crafted in the USA. Most importantly, an Opera Bracelet
is meaningful. Beyond its visual appeal, the bracelet’s
narrative design has something to say; something
beloved and important to the wearer.

...but what do I get her?
It’s hard to know what to get for
your loved one when you only know
that she “loves opera”.

popular opera bracelets as a starting
