Original Design Model
Part of the "Inspired by…" series, the Innocent Fool Bracelet is inspired by the eponymous character from Wagner's Parsifal. Kept sheltered from the world all his life, Parsifal is a pure innocent. His ignorance of knighthood and the ways of the world make him appear foolish to those he encounters. When he witnesses the miracles of the Holy Grail, he is truly dumb-struck at the mysteries he has seen. His failure to act leads to a long quest but in the end he returns to claim his destiny as the Grail King.
Clear and white beads reflect Parsifal's innocence. Red beads evoke the red armor he acquires in traditional Grail mythology as well as the Holy Blood relics that he will protect. Charms on the bracelet symbolize Parsifal the knight, the Holy Grail, and a dancer represents Kundry and the flower maidens. Dove beads evoke the emblem of the Grail Knights.
All "Inspired By..." Series Bracelets come with a card that identifies the symbolism of the charms and colors used.
