Etsy shop review by Lisa Fagan, plainasjane.etsy.com

Have you always wanted to find the perfect bracelet, not too intrusive, bulky or overstated? Something to be worn everyday that compliments every outfit. A few months ago I found Marie Carter's shop on Etsy and was sure this would be the one.

First I have to mention when you visit her store you know immediately she is pro. Each piece is replicated perfectly and her ability to custom size is incredible.

I settled on the 12g argentium (tarnish resistant) sterling silver hammered bangle. You chose the diameter for the best fit. The shape is slightly oval, it lays flatter than a typical round bangle so it lies flush to the desk when you're hard at work and doesn't fall down to the knuckles. Works perfectly with a watch band and looks great alone. I like wearing it with just a wedding band, the silver looks a lot like matte platinum.

I highly recommend these as quality gifts, they arrive in a stylish tin, coordinated business card and arrived promptly. I would be pleased receiving one from anyone, with an understated price you can afford to purchase enough for all the women you know. I love this bangle, so much I am keeping a list of my friends and family who haven't received one yet, they'll be looking forward to a Marie Carter creation in 2008. You can also read up on the artist online and in many publications. I consider ourselves lucky to have access to such a great find.
