$10 & Under: River Song Jewelry
SLIDESHOW: You don’t have to go to summer camp to get summer’s sunniest, easiest accessory. River Song Jewelry’s Mexico-made friendship bracelets—including the style we’re calling the "deconstructed friendship bracelet—are $6 or $7 dollars a piece.
If you’re dubious, we’ll prove in a few slides that friendship bracelets aren’t just for 13 year olds; for now, here’s River Song’s deconstructed style—perfect for Generation X’ers in the over-30 camp. Like little color studies comprised of unknotted threads, the tie-ons are perfect modern updates to a summer classic.
World traveler and River Song owner River Burke has plenty of hand-picked South of the Border textures to go with your bracelets.
