I have several. I purchased them because of the specific charities. The one I always wear is my grandson’s initial. Often I wear that one alone. I might pair it with the Grandmother bracelet, or the treble clef, or the apple, or the dog paw. In the summer I wear a sand dollar necklace and bracelet. Depends on my mood. I like them better than a charm bracelet. I am individual enough that if they do “go out of style,” I will still wear them.

@nbct - ITA! Especially because my teenage son gave me my second one. He selected one and paid for it by himself! DD has given me many of them as gifts. I will be wearing them forever!

I have several Alex and Ani bracelets. Okay, maybe more than, 'several'. They are priced appropriately for gift giving and all of the one's I own are gifts. What is everyone's thoughts on these bracelets? Is it time for their reitrement? I feel once they hit the Q, the market is saturated and the novelty has worn off?

@Suzka34 Are you old enough to remember puka shell necklaces? Everyone wore one until we couldn’t stand it anymore. Such is the case with any jewelry which is a trend. BTW, how many are stuck w/ fairly expensive huge statement necklaces? See anyone still wearing them? I have’t in my area...all delicate chains. Don’t toss them...definitely will make a comeback!

I think their time is up. I have a grouping and they are more trouble then anything in my opinion,

Yep. I see statement necklaces all the time. Not only do I see them on others, I still wear them. One of my favorite easy outfits is a pair of dark jeans, a black cashmere sweater, black boots and a large statement necklace.

Belk carried them two years ago and no one hardly looked at them.

Alex and Ani bracelets used to be special, until the look a like knock offs came on the market. I have a few of the original and some of the latter. I enjoy layering them. However, I don't feel they are the "IT" thing anymore.

PS.......my originals were in the under $40 category and the fakes less.
