Check out Chan Luu


I thought I was over wrap bracelets for the moment, but then I discovered these unique ones by Chan Luu. We just got them at my store and I absolutely love them. This one in particular is gold vermeil faceted beads loomed on Greek leather with a gold vermeil button closure. It wraps around most wrists about 5 times and is perfect for layering with other bracelets or bangles. Chan Luu, a graduate of Boston University and FIDM, has been designing jewelry since 1996. A previous apparel buyer and boutique owner, Luu followed her desire to design and made it come true. Now, her goods are found all over the globe at Neiman's, Sak's, Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols and the list goes on and on. And her collection goes in depth with regards to the wrap bracelet. Luu has designs that wrap around the wrist ten times (can also serve as a necklace), one with multi-strands of leather and offers all of them all in a variety of colors, precious metals, semi-precious stones and pearls. Although they are a bit pricey, ranging form $170- $500, it is worth it and will be a great staple in your collection. I know, I know you're thinking you can get something similar at H and M or Forever 21 but you're wrong, you can't and if you do it will turn your skin green. If you need further validation, celebrities wear Luu's jewelry. The roster includes Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock, Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera and yes, Britney Spears! Check out her necklaces, earrings, fine jewelry and silk/cashmere scarves as well.
