(I had posted this earlier but didn't put it in the "Unsolved Mystery" area and couldn't edit the original post to put it there.)

I've never seen one like that before! Most are usually the ID bracelets or decoder pieces. I wonder if this was a premium or if it was something that was sold in stores?? It'll be interesting to see what you find out.
thanks goes out to chinablue, trgrubaugh and stef. Is this bracelet one of a kind? hmm...maybe.
Has anyone seen one like this before? I've googled and read until my fingers are sore and my eyes are crossing!
Her face reminds me of a badly iced christmas cookie... haha
Just for that, we'll leave her to you when we kick the bucket. Then YOUR child can make fun of her!
If you take the emerald ring, this has to go too :-P
*LOL* Fair enough.
