Today was a good day for jewelry, picked up some great things.
The first bracelet is signed La Rel? Never heard or seen the name before, has anyone else? All the rhinestones are intact and in good condition.
The second is a awesome gold tone Modernest cuff, unsigned but well made.

Great finds! Here is some info from bitzofglitz.com:
