There’s something so precious about the subtlety of the Spread the Love Bracelet and Infinity Bracelet. They’re both tiny symbols with really profound meaning, and both feel extremely personal to me.
When I originally wrote this post in 2024, I had just added these two bracelet designs to the collection after first exploring the same symbols in necklace form. Years later, I still love what these pieces represent: jewelry can be incredibly subtle and still carry something enormous.
Little did I know when I launched the Spread the Love Necklace that it would become one of those designs people connected with immediately.
It began with a simple, hand-drawn heart shape, the kind you might recognize if you’ve ever received a handwritten note from me. We transformed that little sketch into a piece of jewelry that could rest on your wrist or décolletage and carry whatever meaning you wanted to give it.
At a time when everything can feel so overwhelming, if we can stop for a second and remind ourselves what is really important...it’s love. Always love. The one thing we really need.
Love. I love you. I love me. I love her. I love him. I love them.
Love always wins, so let’s spread it, shall we?
I still feel a call to share love through positivity and kind interactions with all humans, living creatures and, yes, jewelry. The Spread the Love Bracelet or Necklace can be given to someone you care about, someone who needs a little extra TLC or worn as a small symbol of fierce self-love.
The heart has a little personality of its own, too. You’ll sometimes find it resting upright and sometimes on its side. Hearts get tired too. Just let it do its thing.
And while I was at it, I couldn’t help but want to create the Infinity Bracelet too.
When I tragically lost my partner Kam in 2020, I had the infinity symbol tattooed on the side of my wrist in his honor, centered perfectly between two freckles, one to represent each of us.
I intentionally placed it on the underside of my left wrist so it could remain somewhat inconspicuous. I love that I can turn my hand and have the perfect view of it. It’s small and delicate but a huge reminder that love is infinite.
This symbol is intensely personal to me, yet I know how universal it is too.
With most things, there is a defined beginning and end, completely packed with pages in between each figurative cover. But there are also things that feel infinite and never go away. Love and light are the first two concepts that come to mind for me when I think of infinity and its perfectly beautiful symbol.
That idea first became the Infinity Necklace, and creating a bracelet version gave me another way to carry that symbol close.
I think that’s ultimately what connects these designs for me. Neither one shouts. They’re small, delicate symbols that can almost disappear into the rest of what you’re wearing, but the person wearing them knows exactly why they’re there.
That idea has continued to grow into what is now the Petite Symbols Collection, a group of designs centered around simplicity, symbolism, personal expression and the little things we choose to keep close.
Do either of these symbols resonate with you? Maybe the heart represents someone you love, the infinity symbol reminds you of a bond that doesn’t have an ending, or maybe the meaning is something entirely your own.
That’s the beauty of symbolic jewelry. I can tell you what inspired a design, but once you wear it, the story belongs to you.
I’d still love to hear YOUR stories.
With love,
Colleen
