Sometimes the way to find something you love, it is tell someone what you're looking for. It works! You'll get books, shoes and the occasional boyfriend that way. This week, it was this bracelet. Backstory: When I was teenager, I went to Paris with my mother and hadn't yet learned to appreciate the Parisian second hand and antique shops. Years later, I'd wanted the perfect antique bracelet from Paris and still hadn't found the right one. But just the week, I did. My mother brought this home and I nearly bowled her over as I crushed into her in thanks. Rock on mom.
This is an Art Deco style Paris tourist bracelet of wide design with articulated, rectangular shaped sections. The back of the dropped charm reads “Filigrane Depose” and has a makers mark, that I cannot decipher. Landmarks include the: Arc D'Triomphe, Sacred Heart, Notre Dame, Invalides and the city seal.
