You loved. You lost. And have yet to find anything to fill the bitter hole left in your heart.

Or, more specifically, your jewelry box.

This V-Day, treat yourself to a second chance at having and holding with La Vie Parisienne charm bracelets.

Paris-born painter/designer/writer Catherine Popesco plates her raw copper molds in her Santa Monica and Loire Valley, France, workshops. Her quixotic design themes run the gamut from love (hearts and stars, fleur-de-lis) to travel (towers, coins, and compasses) and luck (clovers and horseshoes).

Each is stamped and soldered using eighteenth-century presses and French technique. The silver and gold overlay effect has just enough subtle sheen to take your status from adieu to a deux in no time.

Even if it means buying one for each wrist.
