Deb Harding says:I really love the cross bracelets. Ive noticed this style, with the cross horizontal, a lot lately. Its much more interesting than just having it dangle.
Earrings are cute also

sher says:These look like a younger and more open version of the bracelets with the solid crosses in them. I think my grand-daughter in college would love a couple of them, also for my sons. Thanks for the idea.
