SNAKE-ROPE CUFF + BIRTHSTONE EYES

Buy in 14K Gold. Want to add a little bling to your Snake-Rope Cuff?    You're about to fall asleep when suddenly, you see something out of the corner of your eye. A snake. Your heart races. Your body tenses. Panic washes over your whole being. What to do? Move slowly? Move quickly? Go where? Do what? You turn on the light. The snake comes into focus. It is just a rope. Your heart slows, your muscles relax, and panic fades. Between the stories we tell ourselves and the negativity bias that helped our ancestors survive millions of years, our brains always look for danger. That same brain, even safely tucked in bed, thinking its way to crisis and survival mode, can keep us frozen and frazzled in fear of even a near-non-existent threat. The snake-rope analogy often pops into my "bent-for-fear" mind. The snake visits nightly, early morning, and all day between. The snake can be a tough conversation, an intimidating project, or a scary trip, to name a few. Almost always, by the light of day, it's just a rope. The tough conversation wasn't so bad, the project was fun, and the trip was exciting. I've spent too much of my life wrestling fake brain snakes. I've wasted imagination and creativity infusing ropes with enough drama to turn them into the stuff of the scariest stories. Whatever fear I'm focused on, this analogy has a way of helping me zoom out just long enough to get a glimpse of reality instead of the monsters I'm making up. This piece is a wearable reminder to ask myself, is it a snake?  Or is it (and almost always more likely) just a rope?   The SMALL cuff fits up to a 6.75" wrist. The MEDIUM cuff fits up to a 7.5" wrist. MIMOSA bracelets are slightly adjustable. The first time you put your new bracelet on, adjust it one time to a size that slips on and off comfortably. Our jewelry is solid cast metal, so repeated adjusting can cause it to break! Shop MIMOSA's Snake-Rope Collection.   Made by hand in our South Louisiana studio.
