There is a flower that was designed and named after Monet, called Rose Claude Monet. I’ve seen this beautiful rose in Paris, and my bracelet “Fleurs Rose” is also inspired by his flower named after him.
The center piece is a Swarovski Pearl surrounded by a beautiful sterling silver caps. Also included are Swarovski crystal rondelles, and bicones. There are sweet little sterling silver sculptured rose beads, and pewter plated in sterling silver caps, very delicate. There is an assortment of metal beads with a fleur-de-lis charm. This bracelet is 8 inches in length.
I recall how excited I was to see “Claude Monet Rose” while visiting some of the most beautiful rose gardens in Paris, but in my personal pictures I took, I didn’t have a photo of his flower. I found a picture I took of “Buffalo Bill” roses which I was amused by and the French loved him in his day, but alas no Monet Rose. Fortunately we have access to some great photographers at our finger tips, and here is a beautiful picture of “Claude Monet Rose” taken by Georges Seguin.

“Flowering Arches Giverny” also inspired my bracelet “Fleur Rose,” translated in English it means pink flower. Rose is an adjective and a noun in French. We both enjoy the beautiful flower we call Rose in any color.

While in France I did not have the opportunity to visit Monet’s home with his magnificent garden, however, when I return to France that will be on the top of my list. Monet has said that he had put most of his money into his garden. He truly loved the nature and his flowers. Clearly his greatest pleasure was to paint them.
