Cotton Candy Heart bracelet



One of my daughter's favorite treats when she was young was Cotton Candy. The puffy, gooey pink spun sugar seemed too good to be true. The sheer volume of it made it seem as though I was allowing her to eat a piece of candy that was almost as big as she was!

Then reality set in. As soon as she took a bite, that large volume disappeared and left a tiny bit of sugar in her mouth. She revelled in that sugar jolt, yet was disappointed that it wasn't really a Kristen-sized chunk of sugar that she was eating!

The cotton candy hearts in this bracelet were custom-made for me by a beading colleague out of lampworked-glass. You'll notice the little pink swirls and dots of "sugar" on them! The focal point of the bracelet is a pretty lamworked pink flower. Sterling silver hammered heart beads and genuine pink calcite gemstones are tucked into the bracelet as well!

For added interest, I made bead dangle charms. Each charm is different, and it's fun to pick through them and see how they differ!

Sterling silver heart-linked chain is woven through this bracelet, and it is finished off with a sterling silver heart clasp that is every bit as decorative as the remainder of the bracelet! As my Valentine's Day gift to you, I will resize it upon request so it will fit you perfectly!

Guys: This would make a great Valentine's Day gift for your special lady. Please email me for the (reasonable!) price on this bracelet. And, unlike real cotton candy, this gift is long-lasting!

Ladies: Why wait? You can buy this bracelet for yourself and have it in time to wear for your Valentine's dinner out! Please email me for the (reasonable!) price on this bracelet. (I don't want to post it publicly in the even that a reader wants to purchase this as a gift.)

And even though we're a little older, can't we enjoy a Cotton Candy treat now and then? After all, we're still little girls inside!

Happy Valentine's Day! Please contact me for pricing information so you can enjoy the sweet Cotton Candy Heart bracelet!
