Why do I like it? First, the bracelets. Similar bracelets to this have been very popular within the JAP community, maybe at your local family boutique.  I truthfully wasn’t interested in them, they were better for teenagers, as I am 23 and always wanted something more sophisticated. These bracelets are the older version, and much better looking. They appear too be more delicate, and more work was put into them. I love the charms, especially the pearl to the right, and the antique nature of  the bracelet.

That necklace is so unique, it can change an entire outfit. I can picture a simple outfit, such as strait leg jeans, a white t-shirt, black flats or sandals, a black cardigan, some gold accessories, and a big black bag. The necklace would receive so much attention, and it would really liven up an outfit. On the other hand, it can be worn with a black dress, out for the evening. The best part is, it’s limited edition, so every jap in town won’t be running around with a cheap necklace on her neck!

Why do I like it? I own these bangles and I LOVE them. Seasonal Whispers is amazing… they’re a jeweler in New York that hand makes jewelry that combines wire, silver, and gold to make amazing one of a kind pieces. I am a huge fan of their bangles, that have become quite popular in the JAP world and have been distributed to boutiques near and far sold as specialty jewelry. I can go on and on about how great these bracelets look. They can be dressed up or down, and they’re great for gifts.

Why do I like it? This amazing New York jewelry store makes beautiful hand-made pieces for reasonable prices. I am in love with their bangles, that have traveled from their origins of their New York Jewelry Store, and become a JAP favorite at many “in-the-know” boutiques. This brand takes orders over the phone or online, but they ship within a good time and seem to be very legit. These bangles are seriously beautiful, and they come in sizes small, medium, and large for different wrist sizes and many different styles. Some other styles are, Seasonal Whispers “Treasure” Bangles or 3383 white/gold Bangles by Seasonal Whispers. The jewelry is one of kind hand crafted and beautiful. Get yourself a pair!

Why do I like it? Previously posted about was another set of seasonal whisper bracelets… these are really amazing accessories. Also, previously mentioned, was that ORANGE IS IN. These bangles are the perfect combo. I love seasonal whispers ability to make quality, handcrafted jewelry that still has a playful feel and affordable price tag. This set is just the tip of the iceberg to the amazing bangle sets that Seasonal Whispers produces. Check out some other styles, 3301 White/Gold Bangles by Seasonal Whispers and Seasonal Whispers “Treasure” Bangles.
