Uncommon Bracelets: Bike Chains and Guitar Strings

I like my jewelry simple but interesting.
Everything I wear has a story behind it and makes for good conversation at parties.
Celtic knots from Scotland, cancer bracelets from friends, and wedding rings from, you know, my wedding.

That why I got real excited when I found these bracelets over at Uncommon Goods.
I've seen guitar string bracelets and I love them, but bicycle chain bracelets?
As a bike riding lover, I my heart beat faster just thinking about wearing such a fun piece of jewelry.



I love the quirkiness of both bracelets and I love how they express two of my loves:
Biking and music.
Bonus points for the bike bracelet:
It's only ten dollars and it's easy to clasp on and off
(a must for a clumsy person like me).


 What kind of jewelry suits your fancy?
 Uncommon Goods has a ton of other cute jewelry like this, 
including a zodiac bracelet with your star alignment engraved in it.
For real, their name says it all, although I think they should change it to:

"The most random but fun things you'll ever find on the internet."
Just sayin.

Those are both such unique and special pieces! You look fantastic in these photos, by the way. I love the outfit you've built around your new accessories.
I'm not very good at wearing jewelry. I prefer earrings or a simple ring. I have several cuffs that I adore, but I never seem to wear them. They decorate my dresser top more than my wrists.
Actually, last summer (a few weeks after we met) Boyfriend was in Bermuda with his family. He picked up a cuff from the island and sent it to me. I have it near my keyboard at work. Just a little "vacation" for my mind when things get stressful.

I'm really starting to like Uncommon Goods because your bike chain bracelet is pretty cool.

I love the guitar bracelet-

I just adore that guitar string–no surprise though! I'm allergic to silver, so from a young age I only collected yellow gold–these days, it's all I wear! It's usually pearl studs, my rose gold engagement ring and maybe a gaggle of pearl bracelets or gold bangles–I like my jewelry with a bit of history, too!

SabinePsynopsis said...

So pretty! I love them both - especially the string bracelet is wonderful for every day. I have to admit that I'm a bad jewellery wearer which is why I got myself a tattoo - it's like permanent jewellery.

Love the bike chain! Such a cool looking bracelet.

Kate said...

These are amazing! Such an incredible idea!

VintageDanielle said...

Such a cool idea, love the chain bracelet. I ususally go for the simple and basic jewerly or quriky styles.

Cafe Fashionista said...

I am off to check out Uncommon Goods right now! I love quirky accessories that make a statement without overpowering your entire look - these are perfect! I love the two that you selected! :)

Leslie said...

Love the bicycle chain bracelet! It's always fun to combine different pieces.

Karm said...

Those are gorgeous bracelets!
I mainly just wear stud earrings... I can't seem to wear bracelts or rings, because I just take them off haha

Friendship Bracelets said...

A bicycle chain bracelet.....its a different way of combining.Really impressive....!!

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

These bracelets are both so cute. I actually have a really hard time buying jewelry. I don't think well in terms of bigger pictures when it comes to outfits and unless I really love something, I don't buy it. That said, I love the way people are able to pull outfits together with subtle touches like these.

Maybe you need to take me shopping.

Lady Grey said...
