Lovestruck // the Arrow series





* modelled pic does not have the lucite red flower bead as it was a last minute addition :)


This bracelet is actually the first one drafted as I was preparing this Arrow series.
I vigorously scribbled in my notebook every thought that came to mind, words just flowed during the conceptualizing phase....
Strong colours of red & midnight blue were first chosen, this speaks of passion & strong will.
A scene of intense pursue is played out as the heart links were connected to bright red Swarovski crystals.
and finally, a blooming red flower placed next to the arrow, love truly blossoms!

Cupid's Arrow // the Arrow Series




First up is this simpler piece-
2 arrows meeting an indigo blue Swarovski bicone, with rolo chain completing the rest of the bracelet.
Notice that the arrow head is in the shape of a heart, which is why I named this Cupid's Arrow!
Another interesting point is the chevron pattern at the back of the arrows (called fletching), with these details arrows just aren't so fierce looking any longer aite? ;)

Indigo Blue Swarovski Bicone
Heart Arrow Charm
