Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin: A tale of love, friendship, youthful passion and tragic loss. An inexperienced young girl falls instantly in love with a worldly man who breaks her heart. Two friends are torn apart by jealousy with deadly consequences. The passing of time reveals too late the happiness that might have been.

"After seeing Eugene Onegin at the Kennedy Center I was inspired to purchase the related bracelet from Cindy. Wow! It's so beautiful and meaningful not to speak of the lovely packaging, message, and total presentation. I will wear the jewelry proudly when I see this opera for the second time before it departs."- Cynthia

I bought this beautiful bracelet for myself a few months into lockdown, realising that the opera streams from companies around the world were one of the brightest spots in my life. Onegin has always been my favourite opera and this bracelet captures everything in it. I'm over the moon

Gorgeous and meaningful

This isn’t the first or last purchase I’ll be making with Opera Bracelets. They are the gift that keeps on giving. I bought this bracelet for my voice teacher whose favorite opera is Eugene Onegin. She was speechless at how gorgeous the beads and detail were, how well they capture the essence of the opera, and the thought that went into selecting such a meaningful gift. She especially loved the letter charm. Being able to share the gift of opera with her is so special, for now we both have our own bracelets to represent our favorite operas. Thank you, Cindy for enhancing that bond and once again for your beautiful creations!

I bought this as a birthday present for my sister, as this is her favorite opera. The bracelet is even prettier in person, the bead selection, colors, and charms show the opera's characters and plot points perfectly. She loves it!

Beautiful bead choices for this bracelet

This is one of my favorites of the Opera Bracelets. The pearl beads for Tatyana and Olga are quite special. And the sequence of beads for Tatyana staying awake all night to write her letter to Onegin is inspired. Very pleased with this bracelet.

Beuatiful bracelet

Looks even better in person! I didn't realize how accurately the beads told the story of the opera until receiving it. Love it!
