Bangles BECOME YOU

Whether you choose silver or gold, a great bracelet for fall is the bangle

With so much attention being paid to necklaces and earrings, the bracelet has been No. 3 on the jewelry accessory list for a while.

No longer.

The wrists have it for fall, and you'll be seeing more bangles than you've seen in a long time.

And don't stop at one.

"Bangles are wonderful to collect," said Randy Cooper of Randy Cooper Fine Jewelry. "I met a woman at market who had a lot of them on and knew exactly how many she had. She told me she had one for every anniversary. That's what her husband always gave her."

Buff Hukle at the First Place said that bangles are selling well. She has more coming in, both fine jewelry and sterling with cubic zirconia.

If you can't go for the bangles made of precious metals and gemstones that cost thousands, fear not: There are many other options in all price ranges.

Bangles are selling well at Frou Frou, where many bracelets are less than $20.

"The ones that came in in August are already gone, but more will be in soon," said Betsy Morrison at Frou Frou.

It's a new season, so jazz up your wrist by wearing a bunch of bangles.
