Alex and Ani are one of the few accessory brands we've seen that manage to successfully fuse luxury and eco-awareness. The brand's philosophy is about quality and unity, with a design aesthetic that focuses on natural beauty and recycled materials.

We have two limited edition "Mother Earth" expandable bangles to give away, courtesy of Alex and Ani. The "Mother Earth" collection was created to raise awareness about the need to protect our environment. Each piece in the collection features a charm that has a compass-like sphere encasing our globe, and is expandable to fit all sizes.
