Let's Talk Bracelets!

If you aren’t including bracelets within your offering of jewelry findings, we are excited for you to explore more. Just when we think the trend is about to slow in bracelets, we are often proven wrong! If it isn’t stacks of bangles, it is chunky charm bracelets or a cuff that is trending!

Let’s break them down into the following categories so we can “talk bracelets.”
