Embellished Bracelet
This is a stunning bracelet with Swarovski Crystals all over it. This one is in a neutral colour, so that it can be worn everyday, and would really look nice with a light sweater. These can be custom made to any colour you would want to match and is ideal for the Christmas season ahead. This one can be purchased online, or at one of our shows.
