Nancy Jamar, Designer and Instructor
Workshop Fee: $60 (All supplies included)
I've always had a fondness for the old french souvenir bracelets, and have several in my collection; one from Lourdes, several from Paris, but I have a particular love for the old mother of pearl and filigree bracelets. It has been my intent for a few years now to recreate these bracelets, and that being said, I have been on the hunt for the components I would need...
Mission accomplished! Even though I was beginning to despair of ever assembling all the things I needed, it finally did come together, for the first time in this lovely little French "Amour" bracelet. Composed of antique mother of pearl buttons, filigrees, rings, and stamped brass letters spelling out "love" in French, the bracelet is finished with a fob of brass hearts, one a locket, and another a vintage casting layered on an oval mother of pearl cabochon. A little mother of pearl bead carved as a rose links them. Each letter is separated by a beautiful faceted mother of pearl rondelle....
