This bracelet sold a little while ago, but it was (and is) one of my personal favorites, so I couldn't resist making another similar one.
I found another vintage mailbox charm online (shown in the smaller photo) that has flowers on it rather than hearts, but other than that the bracelet will be the same as the one in the large photo above.
I'm not the kind of person who gets all mushy about the "good old days," with one exception: In the old days, people WROTE LETTERS, including love letters.
Be honest now, when was the last time you received a love letter? Not an e-mail. Not a text message. An honest-to-goodness real letter written on paper with a pen and mailed to you through the U.S. postal service?
I will confess that the last love letters I received were written in the 1980s, and I still have them, tucked away. I treasure them, even though I no longer love the man who wrote them.
If you decide to give your sweetie this "Love Letter Charm Bracelet," give it with the promise of love letters to come in the future. I would also suggest that you pick up a copy of the book "Griffin & Sabine, A Extraordinary Correspondence," as part of your gift.
The bracelet has two strands: a chain of carnelian rondelles (that's the shape) linked with jump rings, and a chain with tiny hearts as the links. The charm itself is "vintage," although I don't think it is all that old. it is sterling silver, and it opens and closes.
The bracelet is a standard 7 1/2 inches long. All the chain and wire, and the toggle, are sterling silver, as is the charm, of course. The bracelet is one of a kind.
Price: $140. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. mailing addresses.
