Bracelet

Abstract

A bracelet defined by an elongated band having first and second terminal end sections that collectively define a clasp and a plurality of interconnected sockets extending along the length of the band. The bracelet further includes a first charm that is sized, shaped and adapted to pressingly fit within a first half section of a first one of the sockets; and a second charm that is sized, shaped and adapted to pressingly fit within a second half section of a first one of the sockets. Each charm is embossed, imprinted, or otherwise demarcated with a letter of the alphabet. Pairs of charms may thus be used together to provide the initials of a friend in one of the sockets. Multiple friends' initials can therefore be displayed with charms positioned within each or many of the plurality of sockets forming bracelet.
