| Cast of Vices Charm Bracelet |
A+R Venice neighbors Christopher Glancy and Jay "the Jeweler" LeCompte walked into the shop last fall and immediately had us hooked...on their carefully crafted, weighty sterling castings of
pharmaceutical pills,
bottle caps,
cigarette butts and
flies. Since then, they've expanded their
Cast of Vices collection to Collette in Paris and a handful of other select shops worldwide. But A+R continues to work with these two charmers closely, including on this diabolical
bracelet a client specially ordered for a Christmas gift. We all thought it turned out so beautifully that the boys decided to add it to the Spring collection.
A special bond one cannot see
Itwraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;
I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his Love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.
I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I Love You,"
And the way you're always there.
I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.
