~Prevent Cancer FoundationI received a crazy love expandable wire bangle (single) from Alex and Ani. This piece is crafted in Russian gold. I was so excited when I received my parcel and couldn’t wait to check out Alex & Ani for myself. I was pleasantly surprised. I love the expandable/adjustable design of bangle bracelet. You can easily expand it out to get it over your hand and then tighten it up to fit your particular wrist size. The wire that the bracelet is formed from has a good memory and keeps it’s shape even though you are adjusting the size. This is because it has been designed properly! Not only does the bracelet feature a “love” charm but it also has two extra tiny charms that feature the Alex and Ani logo and their names. It is beautiful and something I will truly get lots of wear out of. You can wear it on it’s own or it would look fantastic stacked with multiples. You can start a whole collection and each one can express your individuality. Each one could have a specific and unique meaning just for you. They would make great gifts and would make future gift giving very easy-just keep adding and stacking. The look will only get better and better.
Here is the description from the Alex & Ani Website:
All you need is love. This single Russian gold or Russian silver patented expandable bangle is a sweet sentimental gift for the one you love or yourself! Designed to wear alone or to layer for a customized look, Alex and Ani’s patented Expandable Wire Bangle is the most innovative concept in jewelry, allowing the wearer, with the slide of a hand, to adjust the bangle for a perfect fit. Available in Russian Gold and Russian Silver.Check out this article I found from the March 7/10 issue of PEOPLE MAGAZINE
While Oscar nominee Sandra Bullock certainly has her pick of baubles from any jeweler she’d like, the actress might just choose sentiment over statement for tonight’s red carpet. Leigh Anne Tuohy, the real-life woman whom Sandra portrayed in her Oscar-nominated role in The Blind Side, and her daughter Collins asked eco-friendly jewelry company Alex and Ani to create a special set of their Signature Expandable Bangles for the actress to say “we love you and good luck” at the Oscars. The mother-and-daughter team had a “good luck” charm, a guardian angel charm and even a Baltimore Ravens charm in honor of Michael Oher added to the set of bangles. We think the bracelets would look great with either of our gown predictions for Sandra, should she choose to wear them.
