How fabulous is the above-pictured cuff bracelet? It is the work of a super-talented local designer here in SW Florida, and would you believe that the inspiration for this bracelet began with a pile of old LPs at a garage sale? Let us explain.
Kris Isenberg, a former children's birthday party planner and mother of four, says that the inspiration for her jewelry line began in the Spring of 2010 when she had a garage sale, and was left with a stack of vinyl records which did not sell. Just as her husband was about to pack the stack up to take over to Goodwill, Kris said, "Wait, I can do something with those old records!"
After a little research and a lot of experimentation, Kris figured out the perfect formula for transforming old records into fabulous jewelry. By heating, cutting, cooling, sanding and then painting the LPs, Kris creates custom cuffs from old records- yes, the bracelet shown above is actually made from an old LP, as are these other great designs:
Some of Kris' most beloved designs center around a Wonder Woman-theme:
Kris explains that the Wonder Woman cuffs actually have a very inspirational message. "A lot of people give them as gifts to women in their lives who may be in crisis and who need to be reminded of their own inner strength, such as women who may be ill," she explains. "It's a good thing to wear as reminder of the strength a woman has within."
Kris has many more fantastic designs, and each piece is handmade, hand-painted and totally gorgeous. Our Om Bracelet (like the one pictured at the very top of the post) has even been mistaken for vintage Chanel!
The bracelets retail for a very reasonable $25 each. Shop the Lucky Power collection on Etsy here.
