I pm'd the poster of the photo, Vincent65, who responded immediately. Not only did he answer all my questions, he answered my prayers too! He told me where he purchased this bracelet but of course, here in NY, they are all gone. Vincent65 offered to see if he could locate one for me. Today, two days later, the coveted bracelet is on the way to me! This man actually took time out of his day and took a train into the city to find a bracelet for someone he doesn't even know. And then he mailed it out the same day! Only on this forum do you find people that are this awesome!

Vincent65, you are truly the best!
Thank you!
Hey Sportysister! I just saw this thread and want to thank you for the very kind words. It was a pleasure to help out, really. Glad to bring a little happiness. Let me know when you get the package, and I look forward to a wrist-shot!

Meanwhile, here's the pic of the bracelet on my wife, which is what triggered this little project, and I got it all started with some of these things too, before I got some for her

Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments, too

Karl, no, thank you. I had to let everyone know how awesome you are! This was the best way I could think of to truly 'THANK YOU" !

P.S. Thanks for posting the photos, I couldn't figure out how to do it! LOL!
