Stone and Shell Bracelet
Grace: I am the first to admit that I am totally overwhelmed by shopping, especially for the holidays. I don’t want to give anyone something similar to what I gave them last year, but it’s so easy to pigeon-hole people and fall into a pattern! Jewelry is always my go-to gift, but it’s so difficult to find a unique jewelry gift! Not only do I feel like I give the same style of jewelry over and over, but I also always give people earrings and I become so flustered when they can’t wear earrings.
However, in order to break this earring addiction, I’ve recently discovered the joys of bracelets. I always feel very elegant when wearing one (even though I’m actually not), but there’s not a lot of variety, I feel. This website, though, sells handcrafted bracelets that are trendy but also unique. One of my favorites on this site is the Stone and Shell Silver Bracelet. It’s very simple, but the contrast of the bright blue Peruvian turquoise and the vibrant orange spondylus shell give it that unique twist. Also, there are only 5 left, so you know that you’re giving a gift that no one else has.
Dan: I am not an expert, but to my eyes that is a very beautiful bracelet and it is no surprise to me that there are only 5 left. It seems so elegant and would look really great on anyone who chooses to have it despite what they are wearing. It also seems very flexible, it would more than acceptable to wear at a informal event or one where all eyes will be on you.
