The phrase worked into the final link of this statement bracelet reads: APRÈS LA PLUIE / LE BEAUTEMPS. In her typical fashion, Line Vautrin has gifted the wearer with a verse that can be viewed either literally or symbolically. ‘After the rain, there will be good weather’ may be common sense, but sometimes it is precisely the reminder that you need in order to keep going.
