I’m OK, but my Watch is Sick

I have been looking forward to the launch of Cathy B Jewelry’s website direct shopping catalog, where customers who love her trendy jewelry and unique global finds can purchase pieces using PayPal. Finally the day has come, and the selection looks great! Prior to the new updates, timepieces were not featured on the website. Now, you can see a great selection of high end wristwatches. Each are 18k rose gold plated, with some featuring Swarovski crystals. All are water resistant, which is a bonus!  Check out my favorites below! Definitely a great holiday gift that would be remembered forever!

A Few of my Favorite Charity Bracelets

I think it all started with the Livestrong charity bracelet? Maybe not…I’m no charity-bracelet-history-buff, but that is my best guess. I actually still have mine. During the time that I purchased one, they were sort of “in demand.” Some were even being auctioned off on eBay for around $50!!

I love these beaded bracelets that benefit the imbalances of women’s opportunities because of financial and/or cultural reasons. The bracelets are handmade by the Maasai Tribe Women of Kenya. Referred to as the “Brightness of Life” not because of the vivid colors you have to choose from, but because of the brightness that lives in the hearts of the women it supports. Each is only $25, with 20% going to the charity. These can be found at Cathy B Jewelry.

Another charity bracelet that can be picked up at Cathy B Jewelry website is this little red, sequined tie bracelet. Rightfully called the Children of Jaipur bracelet since a portion of the proceeds goes toward Education in Jaipur, India. This one is $35.

The Diamond Empowerment Fund has a mission to develop and empower the regions of Africa where diamond mining is an important aspect of the community’s resources. Each bracelet features a rough diamond that is caged inside a diamond shaped charm. Proceeds from this malachite bead stretch bracelet go toward this fund. The cost is $125 at Simmons Jewelry.

Of course, we can’t forget the Gem Gossip Charity bracelet. As you can see here, these are the two styles you can choose–the wrap style or single cord style. The bracelet now comes in a variety of colors, not just red! Check out the 4-step chart for ordering, and look for a favorite color. If you don’t see a color that you want, send me a special request! I’ve already had a few…Maya from Oklahoma just received a light peach and a dark peach bracelet!

Obsession: Leather Bracelets

After coming across these bracelets in hopes of finding something “unordinary” in the stackable bracelet trend, I’ve realized these leather goodies are on a whole new level. I especially love how the designers have paired the earthy material of leather with something bold, like a pearl or something sparkly, like diamonds. These would go great with any other bracelets, whether you own gold bangles or a tennis bracelet. The leather on these bracelets has proved that leather can be considered “fine jewelry” and look high-end. I love them!

These leather bracelets have a diamond encrusted button which encloses each one. You have your choice of black or brown leather, and you also can choose yellow, rose or white gold. Each are $500 and can be found at JL Rocks! Easily purchased online!

This stack of seven bracelets is actually one bracelet! From the Misani Collection which originates in Milan, Italy. The company specializes in combining leather, gold and diamonds. It can be purchased at Pageo Jewelers–North America’s exclusive representative of this company.

Bold and beautiful! Leather combined with black or white South Sea Pearls creates these great bracelets from Cathy B. Jewelry. I am excited for their website to be revamped soon, allowing customers to order directly and have access to prices and better descriptions. Keep an eye out for that, as well as sneak a peek at their flip flops. They are extremely cool.
