“THE BIKINI BRACELETS”
……………For the many years while I worked at Anne Klein I was able to travel to France on buying trips….that was one of the fun perks. The South Of France was always an incredible source of inspiration…..The boutiques all carried special things that you just couldn’t find anywhere else…not even in Paris…..The clothes, the shoes and the jewelry were all made exclusively for these specialty boutiques….However, “people watching” was the most exciting, and inspirational….To see what these incredible looking women….and men….were wearing and how they put themselves together was something you never saw in the states It was very European…..very French……….One of the things that always caught my eyes was the incredible “Body Jewelry” the women wore…..Fine chains wrapping around their wrists, their ankles, around their necks and across their bare tummies in their just there BIKINIS…..These glittering attention getting chains always fascinated me. I thought I would love to do a…..BIKINI CHAIN GROUP…..for all of you………………..The BIKINI BRACELETS….J412951….. are a set of three different chains all glittering…..Each chain is special and has its’ own character…….They are the CARDANO chain….the SNAKE chain or SERPENTINA as it is called in Italy…..and the BOX chain, or as they call it in Italy the VENEZIANA chain which translates to “from Venice… They will be avail in Sterling Silver….Sterling Silver with 18K Gold and Sterling Silver with 18K Rose Gold…….They come in THREE SIZES….SMALL 6.75 inches…..AVERAGE 7.25 inches and LARGE 8 inches……I think sizing them was very important, because many chain bracelets have extender chains……A woman wearing a small and average will then have an annoying extender chain dangling from her wrist, and when you are wearing a set of three or even two sets of mixed colors a woman could have six extender chains hanging. I do not like this look…It looks messy so I eliminated the one size fits all with the extender chain!…..Each bracelet has a small Lobster Claw closing…..I love the look of wearing mixed metals….Silver with the Gold or Silver with the Rose Gold….You can wear one two or three bracelets, and even six at once IN MIXED COLORS. It is not too much, because the CHAINS ARE SO FINE…………These bracelets are UNISEX, and many men’s jewelry catalogues are featuring fine chain jewelry for men. I’ve seen many men wearing fine chain jewelry, and it’s become very popular with men in sports…. I love them mixed with watches….like the new STAINLESS STEEL watches with the BLACK, MOP, and AMAZONITE faces. I wear the size large BIKINI bracelets in Gold and Silver with my Gold and Stainless Rolex watch……I get lots of compliments when I wear them. I actually wear the six bracelets with my watches everyday. It’s become a signature.
