I bookmarked the Eden store to get one of these original screwball bracelets on a trip. However actually buying one from them seemed to be a bit of a performance and I didn’t have that kind of time on that trip. 

I’ve admired them on others though.


@Pagan - You're right! Apparently you have to book an appointment with a lot of places. We won't have the time either. I was hoping someone here would tell me to go to a jewelry store that had them in small, medium, and large.

 

 

Our one nephew got married in Key West. The girls got "Key West" bracelets. DD has a small wrist. She found a reputable place that measured and fit them. He gave her a kid's size. I think she paid $100. She had it on the plane home, but didn't have it after that. The clasp must have come loose. I spent the next day calling every place it could have been, but of course no luck. That was a long time ago.

Cape Cod?  Why?  Bracelets like this have been around everywhere for a long time haven't they?

@Sooner    Agreed, they do seem rather ordinary.

When I was in HS my friend brought me a souvenir bracelet from Cape Cod. It was a wire bracelet and had a sharks tooth in the middle of it. 😝 I thought that was a Cape Cod bracelet.

I have the cape cod earrings and necklace.   I would think you could buy the bracelet anywhere on the cape.   That's where I got mine.   I love mine and wear them almost daily.    Good luck..   


@Junebug54 - What do your earrings look like?

@Sooner Yes they have been around for a long time.    They are called "cape cod" because they originated on the cape.   Made in someone's home and became popular.   I can't remember the exact story.   Something similar to Yankee Candle I believe.  I wouldn't call them a fad.

Yes it's called a Cape Cod bracelet because they originated on Cape Cod. They're copied.

 

Lovely bracelets, don't understand why some have to be negative. Especially when someone is interested in buying one 

 

Is Cape Cod the "problem" ?Massachusetts?
