Bandages For The Heart - Unusual jewelry by Alyssa dee Kraus

This extraordinary jewelry has been designed by Alyssa dee Kraus. The ‘Bandages For The Heart’ are made in 18k yellow gold or sterling silver, with each featuring genuine deep red garnet on the backside representing a drop of blood. Exact in detail and finely made, the Bandages for the Heart are secured using tie tack pins. Each brooch is packaged in a roll of white gauge, wrapped with red string, and punctuated with a garnet drop. You need to pull the little red string to get the bandage out of the pack. The concept behind this unusual jewelry is equally interesting. A bandage, when born over the heart, can be a declaration of personal loss, which is on the mind. It can even be a declaration of support for victims and causalities. Other than the Bandages for the heart, she has also designed Wedding Band(aid)s in 18k yellow gold and sterling silver (sold out apparently). The silver version retails at $250 while the one with 18k yellow gold is priced at $1,100. A portion of all proceeds will be donated for charitable cause.
