This John Hardy Bamboo Double Coil Bracelet is yet another reason I feel like a complete moron for confusing his talents with the lack of talent that is Ed Hardy in a prior entry.
It is also another addition to the running nature theme. Let me first explain that I have a strong attraction to bamboo in general. I first fell in love with it when I planted some black bamboo in our yard. After a period of dormancy, it started to grow like crazy – Jack-in-the-Beanstalk style – where I swear that if I sat in front of it for a while, I’d actually see it grow before my very eyes. In any case, we now have a beautiful wall of privacy between ourselves and our rather peculiar neighbors. Bamboo is amazing for a multitude of reasons including its ability to grow in harsh conditions, its ability to subsist on just a little water once it’s established, its service in our yard as a phenomenal privacy barrier, its relatively recent popularity as eco-friendly flooring and as a variety of kitchen utensils – among other manifestations we’re seeing with bamboo. To boot, it’s just really pretty in its many incarnations.
That being said, I adore this bracelet. I know we’ve seen bamboo bangles done before, but I don’t care. Bamboo, particularly when re-created in silver, is a classic piece. It goes with anything and it reminds me of my ongoing quest to surround our entire yard with the real thing.
