Cupid

Struck by the Arrow. Filled With Desire. Completely, Vividly, and Entirely in Love.

The Cupid Bracelet is a bold, vivid, magnificently alive piece that honors the most complete and most dramatically alive combination: desire and love — not just the warmth of love but the particular, vivid, completely real pull of desire alongside it — the wanting that is as immediate and as alive as the loving, the longing that makes the love more vivid and the love that makes the desire more meaningful, together creating the most complete and most genuinely alive romantic feeling available to the human heart. Pure white, deep red, and rich black beads come together around a heart charm in a palette as bold, vivid, and completely alive as the most passionate and most completely real love in the world. Available in six wrist sizes: 5.5 in, 6 in, 6.5 in, 7 in, 7.5 in, and 8 in — made to order.

Design & Materials

Heart charm — for Cupid himself, the winged god of love and desire whose arrow does not wound but opens — who strikes the heart not to hurt it but to fill it, all at once and completely, with both the desire and the love that together make the most vivid and most completely alive romantic feeling in the world; a reminder that the most genuine love is always accompanied by desire, and the most genuine desire is always, at its deepest, a form of love
White beads — for the clarity and purity of a love that is completely, honestly itself; the luminous white of a feeling that is not complicated or confused or mixed with anything other than the genuine, vivid, completely real desire and love that it is — as clear and as completely honest as the most genuine romantic feeling in the world
Red beads — for the passion and depth of a desire and love that are fully, completely alive; the deep, vivid red of a feeling that does not hold back, does not moderate itself, does not settle for less than the full, passionate, completely real expression of everything it feels — the particular, bold red of a love and desire that are as vivid and as completely alive as the most passionate moment of the most passionate love
Black beads — for the depth and intensity of a desire that goes all the way down; the deep, rich black of a wanting that is not surface-level or situational but rooted in the genuine, specific, completely real recognition of someone extraordinary — the particular, intense depth of a desire that is as enduring as it is vivid, as grounded as it is passionate, and as completely real as the love it accompanies
Six wrist sizes: 5.5 in, 6 in, 6.5 in, 7 in, 7.5 in, and 8 in — made to order, because desire and love belong to everyone, in every size

The Meaning Behind It

Desire and love — Cupid has carried both since the ancient world, and the reason his arrow has never lost its power is that he has always understood what the modern world sometimes forgets: that desire and love are not opposites or competitors but companions — that the most genuine love is always accompanied by the particular, vivid, completely real desire to be near the beloved, and that the most genuine desire is always, at its deepest, a form of love — the recognition of something extraordinary in another person that makes you want to be near them, to know them, to love them with everything you have. The arrow does not create something artificial. It reveals something real — the particular, vivid, completely genuine feeling that was always possible between these two people, waiting for the moment when someone — or something — made them truly see each other. Cupid is a bracelet for the ones who have been struck — who feel both the desire and the love, the wanting and the loving, the vivid pull and the deep warmth, all at once and completely — and for everyone who loves them and is grateful, every single day, for the particular, bold, completely alive feeling of being desired and loved by someone who means it with everything they have.

A perfect gift for Valentine's Day, winter, or any occasion that calls for celebrating a love that is as vivid, as passionate, and as completely, boldly alive as the most genuine desire and the most complete love in the world.
