Empathie avec Alexandre Gustave Eiffel - Paris Collection 1
These bracelets are a part of the French Empathie Collection 1. Empathie is French for empathy. And Alexandre Gustave Eiffel is the applied scientist who constructed the Eiffel tower. Though the iron tower was not initially welcomed, Eiffel audaciously moved forward with its contruction to premier at the World Fair on May 15, 1889. It must have require empathy to understand how to navigate the controversary and deliver the "300 Meter Tower" that was visit by approximately two million people within one year. <br><br>There is an aspect of empathy that draws people together. This is depicted in the array of red and blue stones brought back to the United States from various vendors in Paris. When designing this bracelet, Ada said she wanted to use the colors of the French flag but use gold instead of white in hopes of depicted the Eiffel Tower light show she witnessed the previous month. That light show consists of 20,000 light bulbs that appear to sparkle gold for five minutes each hour of the night.

Arc de Triomphe Empathie - Paris Collection 1
These bracelets are a part of the French Empathie Collection 1. Empathie is French for empathy. And the Arc de Triomphe means Arch of Triumph of the Star. It can symbolize an empathy across time, as it was built to frame the sunset twice each year. There is also empathy with those who designed it over the course of 30 years and with the people it depicts in hundreds of sculptures of scenes from throughout French history, both their collective hardships and spiritual triumphs. <br><br>Ada designed this bracelet to consist of various stones that are a color of the French flag. She wanted this piece to reflect star shaped beams to represent this arch's name and symbolism. She also wanted to include stones with gold trims brought directly from Paris, France to provide authenticity and respect for their culture. And last, she wanted bear shaped glass, because well... it's just more fun. The hope is that any who wear it will be drawn to triumph through empathy toward others, past and present.

Empathie Ensemble Pour Toujours - Bracelet Set - Paris Collection 1
1 Quantity = 2 bracelets. <br><br>Ada truly outdid herself with this one. Empathie ensemble pour toujours is French for "Empathy Together Forever". This set of two bracelets mirror one another in silver or gold. Each bracelet contains a charm that is one half of a heart. These charms are magnets that, when close, snap together, depict two hands with their pinkies curled around one another (like that of a "pinkie swear"), and form the word "Forever". <br><br>Most of the stones (e.g., black hearts) and the charm were collected in Paris, France. Ada was very excited to create these bracelets, and they are her favorite piece thus far. This piece stands for empathy that is shared between two people and how they can then become one. These bracelets can only be bought as a set so that they can be shared between two people -- like they are depicted with a couple of Ada's stuffed animals (in photo). <br><br>Only 3 sets total will be created.
