Nine Muses (St. Charles/Prytania) Cuff Bracelet
The Nine Muses collection is from a map from the 1880s featuring the streets in the Lower Garden District where I created art and jewelry for ten years.
It showcases the silhouettes of the houses, expressing the architectural vernacular—our beautiful side galleries or curved porches, which allowed for the river breezes to flow.

The Lower Garden District - Nine Muses:
This section of the LGD was planned by Barthelemy Lafon who intended it to be a sophisticated area lined with trees, markets, and parks.
Being a lover of the classics, he named the streets after the nine muses of Greek Mythology: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Euterpe, Polymnia, and Urania
