“Carpe diem…Live for today”, Collier. Béatrice Carlson
It always starts with a sparkle of an idea…
I want this necklace to be bright and bold, glamourous and sexy.
I want it to sparkle and represent happiness, courage and resilience during our challenging insecure and overwhelming times.
I made it éclatant!
“Carpe diem”, Roman poet Horace wrote in 23 BC.
Ronsard, in “Mignonne allons voir si la rose” talked about “seizing the day”, a very popular theme during French Renaissance.
January 2026, I found a can of sparkling wine that says “Live for today”.
Serendipity.
