Part of the fun is that they're only $1. (plus what ever the actual shipping is) Also if there are any U.K sets that someone is looking for id do my best to get ahold of them and send them to you again at actual cost.

Each charm bracelet i make is completely unique and every little part is hand wound and connected to the next part somehow. Its not the typical type of charm bracelet were everything is just connected to one chain, it therefor takes a reeally long time to all come together. They're called \"Pirate Treasure\" Bracelets and come in a little black velvet pouch with a pirate scroll tag, which you can just about see in the first picture \u003cem\u003e(when you look into the little pouch it looks just like a little bag of pirate treasure)\u003c/em\u003e Each bracelet has its own title which is usually the word i used for the inspiration when creating that particular piece. The first picture above is called \"Romance\" \u003cstrong\u003e(and is still available)\u003c/strong\u003e the one below is called \"Vintage\" (not available). I have others not pictured available also.
