Awesome bracelet!! Is that amber (sp) in the center? Gorgeous.

Uh, yeah, reread the prior post. I'm slipping lately...

*That* is freaking ingenious! How cool.

You spelled amber correctly, LR. The bracelet was made in Thailand, brought back last month by a friend who is a jeweler and who made his second buying trip there in as many years. It was quite affordable, despite its ostentatiousness (it does help that I am friends with everyone at the store and am given very generous discounts off of retail).

The same friend was on the beaches of Thailand last year two weeks before the tsunami hit. I haven't had a chance to ask him yet how different it was this year.
