Wind Dancer (SOLD)
(glass cab by Mikelene Reuss)
Before Pandora charm bracelets there were way cooler charm bracelets. Some were gold, but many were sterling silver. When I was a teenager I received mine with a couple charms. Over the years I collected more and more from places I visited like a Mickey Mouse charm from Disney World and a Cypress tree from Carmel, a clarinet because I played it, knitting charm, and of course a bee. I stopped wearing the bracelet quite a few years ago, but I've never stopped collecting charms. I especially like finding vintage ones that articulate.
They tell a story about my life and interests. I absolutely love how a small charm can give a hint to something very personal about a person. And you know I love that!
So I've started to look through my charms for inspiration in creating new jewelry pieces. I suspect this will be an ongoing project, because I don't plan on stopping the hunt for new ones.
