Silpada Carpe Diem Bangle

Retired Silpada sterling silver bangle!! Features 3 charms… lapis lazuli, crystal & “carpe diem.” Adjustable. (B3211) Only used as a display piece at home jewelry parties. The Origin of Carpe Diem This Latin phrase, which literally means "pluck the day," was used by the Roman poet Horace to express the idea that we should enjoy life while we can. His full injunction, "carpe diem quam minimum credula postero,” can be translated as “pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one,” but carpe diem alone has come to be used as shorthand for this entire idea, which is more widely known as "seize the day."
