Desiree
Longed For. Desired. The One Whose Absence Is Felt and Whose Presence Is Always Wecome.
The Desiree Bracelet is a warm, vivid, tenderly alive piece that honors the most intimate and most personally resonant kind of being loved: being longed and desired for — not just loved in the present tense, but missed in the particular, vivid, completely genuine way of someone who knows exactly who they are missing; thought of in the quiet moments and the busy ones; longed for with the particular, warm, completely real ache of someone who has found the person who makes every other place feel like the wrong place and every other moment feel like the moment before the right one. Warm yellow, soft pink, rich gold, and clear blue beads come together around a flower charm in a palette as warm, vivid, and completely alive as the longing it was made to honor. Available in a 7 in wrist size.
Design & Materials
- Flower charm — for the beauty and the particular, living quality of someone who is longed and desired for; the flower that is most beautiful when it is present and most missed when it is gone — whose fragrance and color and completely alive presence make the garden more beautiful simply by being in it, and whose absence leaves a particular, specific, completely real space that no other flower can fill
- Yellow beads — for the brightness and warmth of a longing that is as vivid and as completely alive as sunlight; the particular, warm yellow of someone whose presence makes everything brighter and whose absence makes the brightness noticeably, specifically less — the longing that is not vague or general but as vivid and as particular as the person it is longing for
- Pink beads — for the tenderness and warmth of a desire that is as gentle as it is genuine; the soft, warm pink of a longing that is not desperate or consuming but tender — the particular, warm ache of someone who loves gently and desires genuinely and misses with the most careful and most completely real tenderness of someone who knows exactly who they are missing and exactly why
- Gold beads — for the richness and value of one who is genuinely, enduringly desired; the warm, luminous gold of someone whose worth has been recognized and whose presence has been found precious — not just wanted in the moment but longed for in the particular, enduring way of someone who has been found irreplaceable and is missed accordingly
- Blue beads — for the openness and depth of a longing that reaches; the clear, wide blue of a desire that is as open and as completely genuine as the sky — the particular, expansive longing of someone who reaches toward the one they desire with the full, open, completely real reaching of a heart that knows exactly where it wants to be
- Wrist size: 7 in
- Elastic cord — strong, durable, non-fraying, and pre-stretched for a comfortable, latex-free fit
- Handcrafted with care by Amelia Heir Art Designs
The Meaning Behind It
Longed and desired for — the name Desiree means exactly this in French: the desired one, the longed-for one, the particular, irreplaceable person whose presence is the answer to the longing and whose absence is the longing itself. To be longed for is one of the most intimate and most personally significant kinds of being loved, because it is the love that does not stop when the person is not present — that continues, quietly and completely, in the spaces between the moments together, in the particular, vivid, completely real awareness of the one who is not there and is missed for every specific, individual, completely irreplaceable thing about them. The longed-for ones are the ones who are thought of in the quiet moments. Who are the first person someone wants to tell when something good happens. Who make every place feel like the right place simply by being in it, and every place feel like the wrong place simply by not being there. They are desired not in the abstract but in the particular — this specific person, in this specific way, with this specific, completely real and entirely irreplaceable warmth. Desiree is a bracelet for those people — the longed-for, the desired, the ones whose presence is the answer to everything — and for everyone who loves them and knows, with the particular, vivid certainty of someone who has felt the longing, exactly how completely and how specifically they are desired.
A perfect gift for any occasion that calls for telling someone that they are longed and desired for — that their presence is the answer to the longing, their absence is felt in the most specific and most personal way, and that they are, completely and entirely, the one.
