Wrist Action
One of the hot items this holiday season is beaded bracelets by Meredith Frederick. The bracelets, which just roll onto your wrist, are stackable too, so they encourage multiple purchases. Frederick, who until recently was a pastry chef, spent years developing her technique for weaving strands of beads into thick, patterned rope bracelets and chokers. They resemble traditional woven bead bracelets but in sophisticated materials like gold, silver, and gemstone beads. They are one of the top holiday items at Bergdorf Goodman this year, according to senior vice president and general merchandise manager Ed Burstell. The bracelets, which retail for $450 to $750, have been featured in several holiday shopping guides.
