a bracelet for Saint Patrick

by Silmaril Thu Mar 17, 2011 6:28 am

Happy Fish doesn't really show up, but it and my Lab are for the sea, Viking galley for Patrick's abduction and enslavement in Ireland, Silver Mountain, Tower and the green beads for Ireland, White Snake for the serpents driven from Ireland, Big Cross for Patrick's faith, the Clover for the shamrocks Patrick used to teach the doctrine of the Trinity, Blue/Green Feather and Angel's Feathers for Patrick's death and sainthood. I do wear Big Cross on my bracelet, it is quite okay to sit across the back of my wrist. Obviously it becomes more of a bangle, the bracelet can't move, but it is not uncomfortable.

@Unicorn1976 - no, I wear my normal length. It is snug and as I said, sits still like a bangle.
