The Carmen Opera Bracelet
What are<br />
Opera Bracelets?<br />
Opera Bracelets are jewelry<br />
with a unique narrative design<br />
that lets the wearer celebrate<br />
favorite operas.<br />
The bracelets literally help the<br />
wearer remember special<br />
opera moments.<br />
Each bracelet uses symbolic<br />
beads and charms to tell the<br />
opera’s story, but you might<br />
be wondering how...
How a bracelet tells a story:<br />
“Full Story Bracelets”
“Full Story” Opera Bracelets literally<br />
tell the story of an opera from beginning<br />
to end.<br />
Here, as an example, you see the<br />
popular opera Carmen as an example<br />
of how each bead and charm symbolizes<br />
a character, event or aria. The<br />
story begins with Carmen singing the<br />
Habanera: “Love is a rebellious<br />
bird…” (upper right, bird charm). The<br />
opera ends with Carmen’s death and<br />
Escamillo’s victory at the end of the<br />
spiral in the center of the picture<br />
(Toreador charm with “blood droplets”).<br />
These bracelets come with a<br />
chart which tells the story of the<br />
opera and explains the meaning of the<br />
beads and charms.
How a bracelet tells a story:<br />
“Inspired By... Bracelets”<br />
Evoking beloved arias,<br />
characters and moments<br />
← Habanera<br />
↓ Toreador Song
The “Inspired By…” series of Opera<br />
Bracelets celebrates individual characters,<br />
arias or moments from operas.<br />
The Habanera and Toreador Song<br />
Bracelets symbolize those specific well<br />
known arias from Carmen, rather than<br />
telling the entire story as the Full Story<br />
Carmen Opera Bracelet does.<br />
“Inspired By…” Bracelets come with a<br />
card explaining the bracelet's meaning.<br />
Why should you choose an Opera Bracelet?<br />
An Opera Bracelet is a handmade, unique piece of<br />
wearable artwork. Each is individually designed<br />
and crafted in the USA. Most importantly, an<br />
Opera Bracelet is meaningful. Beyond its visual<br />
appeal, the bracelet’s narrative design has something<br />
to say; something beloved and important to<br />
the wearer.

boudoir. The Aida and La<br />
