Crystal Bracelet
ABOUT
This piece of jewelry is a bracelet given by a friend of ten years to Roxanne Dueña. Her friend hand-picked the items and used amethyst crystal, rose quartz and a lotus pendant. The friend made it from scratch, which makes it more special. Roxanne Dueña has owned the bracelet for five years. Wearing crystal bracelets can be a personal statement tied to a spiritual belief, or it can just be a fashion statement. When she wears the crystal bracelet it makes her feel reborn into a better version of herself. The bracelet has the color purple which represents royalty. The lotus flower represents rebirth. Roxanne’s crystal bracelet holds a special place in her heart because it was given to her by a friend of ten years, symbolizing their special bond and assisting her in getting through difficult times. A gold lotus flower pendant unites two rose quartz and amethyst crystals on the bracelet. In Buddhism, the lotus flower represents purity, spiritual enlightenment, and faithfulness. It also represents emerging and sprouting from the muddy water. She doesn’t say what led her friend to give her the bracelet but she did say it was a rough time. Although the title of it is “crystal bracelet”, she doesn’t inform us if she wears it on her wrist or ankle or if it is flexible or it expands. I have a ring that I gave to myself and I made a promise to myself. So I know what it is like to wear something that has meaning to it and a reminder to move forward in life during difficult times. Wearing a meaningful accessory is significant to me since I see it on a regular basis as a reminder, motivation and an addition to my personal style. Gifts from friends are especially meaningful since they remind us of them every time we see or wear them.
