What is happening? I have four of these bracelets so far and want more!!
They are all so endearing with meanings that make up you and how you want to focus your energy. There are even ongoing themes for the bracelets, such as the Olympics! I'm not too into the earrings or beaded bracelets, but I wear mine all the time with other jewelry. Love the Russian Gold! Maybe I'd get Russian Silver is next. :) The top four bangles are the one's I have, and 30 below them are yet to be in my possession!
