I chose deep green beads with accents of gold to symbolize the sun shining on the fluttering leaves of Serse's beloved plane tree whose beauty and shade have sheltered and comforted him. He sings of his love for this tree in the aria "Ombra Mai Fu".
Glass hearts evoke the love of Amastre and Serse: their emotions and anguish fuel the narrative. Charms on the bracelet include: the tree itself; a crown indicating Amastre's destiny to be queen after much travail at the end of the opera and a swirling heart symbolizing all the mixed up loves of the plot of this opera.
Serse
So after receiving a few opera bracelets, my mom asked if there was any with green, her fave color, accents. After a search of your site for green bracelets, I found this! Oh my, it makes me want to run into the woods and never come back! A little mystical, I love this bracelet! I know she will too when I give to her. So lovely and bright, another winner from Cindy!
Beautiful color
I bought this bracelet for my pianist as a gift at my senior recital. It was so beautiful. The color was gorgeous and she loved it!
