Bracelets As Gifts

 
For an important occasion like a graduation or a promotion, give them a pearl bracelet. This bracelet is perfectly suited for one of these formal occasions, and looks great with a dress. 

For a birthday, give a bangle, or several bangles to wear all at once. Bangles are fun for summer to dress up whatever your gift recipient is wearing, or they can wear them in winter over a slim-fitting sweater.
