5 Bracelets Beth Loves from Engelbert’s Jewelers

You know how much I love Engelbert's Jewelers. Over the years, I've picked up so many great pieces from them and now they're getting in a new collection

One of the greatest things about Engelbert's is their "affordable elegance" - you don't have to spend a lot to walk out with a piece of jewelry you'll absolutely LOVE. The new collection of bracelets from April Soderstrom is a great example. They're gorgeous - work with anything I'm wearing - and are a fun way to get myself a little something.

Engelbert's is the only jewelry store in our area to carry April's designs, and they are formally introducing her with April Showers Weekend. Visit either store - in Rome or New Hartford - Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13 to enjoy wine and cookies, explore these fabulous bracelets and enter an April Soderstrom bracelet giveaway. (Drawing will be held Monday, April 15; winner need not be present to accept prize.)

April Soderstrom's designs are simple and beautiful. They look great stacked together, and each piece offers a special background or meaning. These are great girlfriend gifts, Mother's Day gifts or a little treat for yourself.

As a bit of a sneak peek, here are some of my favorites:

1. Unisex 10mm Good Vibes Bracelet:"Gemstones and metals are filled with stories of healing properties, symbolic meaning, and folklore," April writes on her website. "Each bracelet comes with a Stone Card noting the meaning and folklore behind each gem."

2. Unisex 8mm Good Vibes Bracelet: This bracelet's slightly smaller scale makes it great for stacking with other looks.

3. Winter White Agate & Leaf Bracelet: Soft color variation and a high polish finish on the agate pair so beautifully with the gold and brass elements.

4. 6 mm Teal & Evil Eye Bracelet: The "evil eye" is cubic zirconia set in 14k plated gold, while the beads are Howlite stones.

5. 8 mm Turquoise & Evil Eye Bracelet: I just love the pop of color this bracelet brings to any outfit.
