This bracelet has 'enameled' red heart charms mixed with sparkly red beads and a few numbers, 1-10 to be exact. The numbers float in between the more substantial, painted hearts and red beds. The bracelet could be personalized with the wearer's significant numbers, perhaps the ages when the lovers met, the numbers of their first date, or a lucky number.
Note that some of the heart charms are placed back-to-back to make two sided charms. The charms open and add movement to the bracelet. If you didn't want the charms to flip apart you can glue them together with a glue such as E-6000 or Beacon 527.
