What do we think about Alex and Ani?

[starbuck]

My MIL showed me some she got and they were pretty cute. I don't know though, is it just overpriced trinkets?

Sent from my t-rex arms

I LOVE them. I have bracelets I have worn every day for years. And I buy new stuff a lot. They have all been really great quality.

I love my Alex and Ani bracelet and I'm not the trinket / Pandora bracelet type. I bought my mom one for Christmas, too.

[my4girls]

Not a fan

[rex]

I like them but I hate Pandora or other charm bracelets.

I think they're cute but also think they are a bit young for me.

Really overdone around here.

I haven't heard of them, but upon googling it is too much for my taste.

I've seen women with full arms of them.  It reminds me of the women in National Geographic with the rings around their necks.

I like a few on my arm. They are local to RI, so when they first started I purchased a few for me and a few for DD. She still collecting them, after the Patriots one I got for my birthday, I really dont care about any more. The full arm of them is totally obnoxious to me. Agree with mcc, that they are very much like the National Geographic ladies! lol

Around here it's the soccer moms that wear them the most.

I love them, they remind me of home (RI). Each one I have means something to me though and I have received all of them as gifts from special people.. I don't wear a lot of jewelry but they are the ones I put on most often

Yup.  Like armfuls overdone.  I have one with a seashell that I wore over the summer.  But I can't get on this trend for some reason.

I have one that I don't take off. My sister gave it to me during a rough time and there is a sweet sentiment behind it.

I don't have money for frivolous spending these days or I'd buy a few more. Not an armful though!

They're pretty inexpensive actually. When you compare it to most made in China costume jewelry, I'd say it's a much better buy. It's definitely just meant to be trendy pieces, no doubt. But for what it is, I think it's okay.

Aren't they like $30-$40/per bracelet? I think that's way too much to spend for a thin wire bracelet with a disc hanging off of it. I also say overpriced because they are totally NMS. And its one of those things that's going to show up on a Buzzfeed list of things you remenber that you never wear anymore in 10 years.

Yeah mine was $29. I don't think that's really overpriced. Unless you're referring to buying 3-4 of them at once.

Yeah I guess I say overpriced because most people wear 5-6 at once. Times 30 bucks a pop it adds up.

[kwx2]

I haven't paid more than $32 for any of the ones that I have bought. So, i guess one at a time they aren't all that pricey, if you are buying multiples I guess it could get expensive.

My MIL wanted one for Christmas so I ordered it on Black Friday. After several failed attempts at getting my order to go through, I finally received a confirmation. I still haven't received a shipping notification and my emails to customer service have gone unanswered and every time I call, it's busy! So far, I'm not impressed.....

[firedancer49]

I like them, but I only wear two or three at the same time.

I recently bought one for my youbger sister when she joined a sorority. I bought one woth her greek letters and I think I paid $45, which I thought was kind of a rip off. Maybe because it was a specialty line?

[callalily]

I like them. I'm a New England girl and have about 6 that I rotate. I think they are a good price for the quality, and they do make good gifts.
