Arm Candy

I have been so into bracelets this summer. With all the pretty sleeveless dresses and tops I wear, there is no better time to show off some pretty arm candy! Fotini Jewelry Designs is an indie designer out of NYC who uses a fantastic mixture of texture, metals and colorful gemstones to create some really fun and funky pieces. I especially love these wire wrapped bracelets with little clusters of gemstones in beautiful bright colors. I would wear these in a bunch for maximum impact...and luckily Fotini offers a great deal if you buy them as a set! Only $135 for a set of 4! Click HERE to get yourself a set.
