Bracelet of desire

The Met catalog always has the coolest stuff. I remember drooling over the jewelry sections growing up. And my first real pair of dangly earrings? Purchased from The Met when I was 13 (and rediscovered a few years ago as still being remarkably cute).

Check out this Parisian Buckle Bracelet from their current site. According to the description, the design is based on the jewelry of Jean-Paul Robin who revolutionized French fashion in the 1820’s by creating simple casual pieces. Having exceptionally tiny wrist myself, I am not sure that I could pull off this bracelet. But I’d sure like to try!
