  • Lynn, what an amazing number of similar bracelets :)) I love the red and the blue stones against the decorated silver. They must look even more fantastic in real life. Will you continue to collect them... More are needed for the other arm, I think... just by way of encouragement:))

  • Just fabulous, Lynn! How did you manage to find so many similar ones, I wonder?

  • Thank you Thelma and Betty!! :)  I was very lucky to find them -- they must want to be together!

  • Beautiful combination of turquoise and red glass with the white - beautifully decorated- silver. These are very attractive bracelets.. An opportunity to find half a dozen of the same type.. Congratulations for the very attractive and may be rare addition to your collection.

  • WOW, what a collection Lynn - Amazing! They are beautiful! Congratulations. Peter

  • Thank you Mustafa and Peter. 

  • Ultra fabulous! What do they weigh?

    Curious how you balance pieces when you wear them. Would you also wear a large necklace and/or earrings when you have this stack of bracelets on? Or would one of those be more subtle?

  • Dear Preethi, if I remember correctly each one weighs about 80 grams. I don't wear them all together but when it comes to large jewelry I find you must make a choice.  Either balance it by wearing no other jewelry, or go ALL the way for dramatic effect!  I feel that the resulting look should appear intentional and opinionated.
