If you want to give someone a unique hand made accessory, Etsy is a great place to start looking. You’ll find all sorts of accessories from earrings, rings, necklace and beautiful bracelets. In fact I found four lovely pieces I just had to share with you today.
Wire Design Timeless Links Bracelet ($65) Hand hammered and hand formed links give this sterling silver bracelet such charm.
The Beaded Lily Bramble Bangle Bracelet ($40) I love this rough and edgy take on a pretty bracelet. The wires are wound round and round giving it a nice texture and interest.

Give her a pretty new bracelet to wear for her birthday, your anniversary or for upcoming Mother’s Day. Jewelry and accessories always make great gifts because they always fit! There’s no need to wonder what size to get, all you really need to know is the recipients metal preference – gold, white gold, silver or both. These pretty bracelets are sure to bring a smile to her face.

I love the type of gifts you can give to all your friends. Something all of you can share but not be so matchy-matchy either. Bracelets make great gifts for friends and family and these fun and colourful ones would be great for Spring and Summer.

Sometimes you can wear just tooooo much jewelry. This week I had a doctors appointment at 10:30 in the morning.

She had numerous bangles which was okay and the earrings were pretty too, but she had enormous rings on every finger.

“Buying every outfit you like is just not going to cut it, so you will have to approach the issue from a new angle: accessorize, accessorize, accessorize.
While buying a whole Edie Sedgwick outfit is not cost effective, buying a few key accessories might satisfy all your mod cravings at once.
