The 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.
Read on...

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.
