You can say you hate them, that's fine, but beads? Cmon now. If a kid could afford these "beads", then I'll agree with you and call them beads. P.S. I had no idea this thread was going to unleash the fury of hell.

I think the bracelet needs to be tasteful if you're going to wear one, and definitely not "badass". I don't even think I try to incorporate being "badass" when I dress up in the morning, much less try to find a bracelet that will instantly make me badass. This has always been one of my favorites which I'd like to have one day:

Bracelets and earrings are both temporary, horrible trends that come and go. Much like the nauseating felt lapel flowers.

Dang! I miss all the trends. I've been wearing the same old Savile Row style for 40 years now.

It's not for everyone, it certainly can go horribly wrong, and the bracelets posted by OP are pretty bad IMO, but it can be done well, for sure. I've not found a bracelet I would try wearing, but I kind of like these Tod's bracelets for sale at Barneys--what do people think of this:

Obviously we define the word little ... a little differently.

On a serious note, this is a thread about bracelets. I actually did buy the pictured bracelet ( that,s me wearing it ), though it was to resell.

It was a lot of fun for a few days. Whether I wore it in a casual setting or in a fine dining setting, people invariably stared at it. I doubt you could say that for fine Savile Row or Rubinacci items. Someone with a sense of humor like Vox or RSS could have some fun with something like this.
