I have a charm bracelet that I never wear. Something about it—despite the sentimental value—seems just too…clink-y. But I do love bracelets and recently fell in love with a gold version with a single-bodacious charm. Unfortunately it cost several hundred dollars and, staying true to my vow of fiscal responsibility, I passed. Then I found this one at Banana Republic—it's almost a direct knock-off of the other one, and while of course I’d love to have the real deal, frankly, this 24-k gold plated baby is a perfectly lovely substitute. And only $48.

$48 at Banana Republic, multiple locations, bananarepublic.com.
