Eros

Love Is the Foundation. Desire Is the Pull. Passion Is the Fire That Makes Both Completely, Magnificently Alive.

The Eros Bracelet is a bold, warm, magnificently alive piece that honors the most complete and most genuinely passionate kind of romantic feeling: love, desire, and passion — the three dimensions of the most alive and most completely real romantic experience, named for Eros himself, the Greek god of love whose force is not gentle or mild but vivid and irresistible and completely, magnificently alive — the particular, extraordinary pull that draws hearts together with the full, passionate, completely real force of something that is larger than either person and more alive than anything either of them has felt before. Pure white, soft pink, and deep black beads come together around a heart charm in a palette as bold, warm, and completely alive as the love, desire, and passion it was made to carry. Available in a 7 in wrist size.

Design & Materials

• Heart charm — for Eros himself: the god of love whose force has drawn hearts together since the ancient world, whose particular, vivid, completely irresistible pull is not the gentle warmth of affection but the full, passionate, completely alive force of romantic love at its most real — the love that is accompanied by desire and inflamed by passion and that makes the beloved feel, in the most immediate and most completely personal way, that they are the most extraordinary person in the world
• White beads — for the purity and clarity of a love that is completely, honestly itself; the luminous white of a love that does not hide or moderate or present a version of itself that is safer or more convenient than the real thing — but is simply, completely, and entirely real, as clear and as luminous and as genuinely present as the most honest and most completely alive romantic feeling in the world
• Pink beads — for the warmth and tenderness of a desire that is as genuine and as completely alive as the color itself; the soft, warm pink of a love and desire that are tender — that hold the beloved with the most careful and most completely real warmth of someone who desires deeply and loves tenderly and finds, in the combination, the most complete and most genuinely alive romantic feeling available to the human heart
• Black beads — for the depth and intensity of a passion that goes all the way down; the deep, rich black of a feeling 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 passion that is as enduring as it is vivid, as grounded as it is alive, and as completely real as the love and desire it accompanies and inflames
• 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

Love, desire, and passion — Eros understood all three as a single, complete, entirely inseparable force: the love that is the foundation of everything, the desire that is the particular, vivid, completely real pull toward the beloved, and the passion that is the fire that makes both the love and the desire more alive, more vivid, and more completely real than either could be without it. The love without the desire is warmth without pull. The desire without the love is pull without roots. And the passion without both is fire without direction — vivid and alive but burning without purpose. But the love that is accompanied by desire and inflamed by passion is the most complete and most genuinely alive romantic feeling in the world: the feeling that the ancient Greeks named for their god of love and that every person who has ever felt it has recognized, in the feeling, the particular, extraordinary, completely real force of something that is larger than themselves and more alive than anything they have felt before. Eros is a bracelet for those people — the ones who love with passion and desire with love and feel, in the combination, the most complete and most magnificently alive romantic feeling in the world — and for everyone who loves them and is grateful, every single day, for the particular, bold, completely alive gift of being loved by someone who feels it all, completely and without reservation.

A perfect gift for Valentine's Day, winter, or any occasion that calls for celebrating a love that is as passionate as it is tender, as desirous as it is deep, and as completely, magnificently alive as the most vivid and most genuinely real romantic feeling in the world.
