Finally my replacement UP arrived! To celebrate this fact, I’m all over turquoise… in the wristular area.
Left hand: silver & turquoise dating back to when I was in grade school and mad for turquoise, and a Tiffany’s chain of hearts from my dad.

Right hand: boy this picture was hard to take. I really feel for all you lefties out there. Each time I rotated my ipad the picture button jumped away from me. Anyways, brand new replacement UP and my Cape Cod watch whose time may or may not be correct. I’m pretty loose when it comes to things like “time” and “measures”

TV and jewelry

Yesterday’s post on the the Walking Dead: Sex Ed Fail and an exchange with LoveandFlats on favorite TV shows got me thinking… What other bracelets are out there based on my favorite TV shows? Well, let’s find out!

My very favorite shows are the Walking Dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hannibal, and Justified. Since I already covered the Walking Dead, let’s sub in LoveandFlat’s favorite show Breaking Bad.

First up: BUFFY. I both googled and Etsy-ed, but google just brought me back around to Etsy where I found a lot, A LOT, of very tweeny Buffy charm bracelets. The more uncommon are the cuffs, like this one on sale right now for $13.60 by TheTrendyGeek

IMG_2518.PNG You just can’t go wrong with the Buffy tagline. I like, too, the crooked typewriter font. It’s a subtle but pretty piece of fan jewelry.

Next: HANNIBAL. Surprisingly, Etsy offered more variety in Hannibal bracelet styles though altogether less bracelets. I want to find the most special of the options, though, and it is a $17.10 charm bracelet by FanFayreJewelry

IMG_2519.PNG It’s not overcrowded by charms which is how many charm bracelets turn out wrong. The charms include so many nuances of the Hannibal themes: the stag, knives, a clock! So subtle but fantastic. I would definitely wear this.

JUSTIFIED: This show doesn’t have the obsessive fanbase of the other shows. I wasn’t expecting to find much, and I didn’t. There is one single Justified tagged bracelet option but… It’s lovely! Made by ClosetGeekery it’s $20.

IMG_2520.PNG I would actually probably pair this guy with the Hannibal charm bracelet. They would definitely compliment one another.

Now for you, LoveandFlats, BREAKING BAD: more charm bracelets, more hand stamped silver cuffs but nothing exceptional. Which, a show like Breaking Bad? We’re looking for exceptional, inspired, and cool to wear. And this periodic table of elements for $30 by UniqueArtPendants spoke to me. Too cool for school! Wait, let me correct myself, it is exactly the right amount of cool for school.
