The Fern Leaf Bangle

This gorgeous creation was crafted by Emily Elizabeth Jewelry. It's called the Fern Leaf Bangle but there's more to it than meets the eye. Its designer was inspired by Marilyn Monroe (who would be considered plus-size by today's standards) in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." The bangle is offered in non-adjustable and adjustable versions. The non-adjustable style is ideal for larger wrists and can even be worn further up the arm.
