This stylish gold bracelet is etched with this succinct blessing from Omar Khayyam’s The Rubáiyát: “Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” 

The beauty of Khayyam’s language is echoed here in the simple elegance of the bracelet. This timeless piece is a perfect gift for anyone celebrating one of life’s joyful moments.

According to the Poetry Foundation, “the 11th-century Persian poet, astronomer, and mathematician Omar Khayyam was raised in the town of Nishapur in present-day northern Iran... The Rubáiyát, his collection of hundreds of quatrains (or rubais), was first translated from Farsi into English in 1859 by Edward Fitzgerald. The short poems of the Rubáiyát celebrate the pleasures of life while illuminating the nuanced political and religious context in which they were created.”

Khayyam’s words are hand-cast on a 14-karat gold vermeil bangle (2-1/2" diameter, 1/8" width). There are three small 14-karat wire gold loops on the bracelet.

The designer handcrafts her jewelry collection in a solar-powered studio in Southern California. Each design is sculpted out of clay, and the clay model is then cast in reclaimed metals using the ancient art of lost wax casting. Handmade in the USA.
