This is a super cute bracelet, and I want to love it 100% however there is a little flaw that I had to fix myself. Where the wire is wrapped around the bracelet near the charm and initial, it's super sharp. I scratched my wrist twice, to the point that it broke the skin, so I had to take pliers and dull that edge. Other than that it's very cute!
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for the review and so sorry about the sharp wire! We normally tuck in those sharp points, but evidently we missed it this time.
Sounds like you took care of it, but if it needs any further attention, we’re here to help you out.
Enjoy,
John

I get asked “where did you get that “? Every time I wear it. It is a stunning piece that I will add to my collection. Thank you so much for another treasure ! 💖
I have just purchased by second bracelet. I wore the first one so much that the finish came off. Is there any way to restore my old bracelet. I really love this piece of jewelry and have given it as gifts.
I couldn't wait to receive this bracelet in gold! I purchased a John Wind initial bracelet years ago and it is so well loved. When I saw that he was making this bracelet with a pearl charm, I had to get it. Pearl is my birth stone so it's a perfect match for me. Can't wait to get another one!

The bracelet is beautiful and great quality. So glad I purchased it.
I purchased this bracelet in silver some years ago at the Union Square Market in NYC. Organizing my jewelry the other day, I came across this bracelet amongst my special pieces and said to myself, where did I get this? I’d like to have more! Then I noticed your John Wind tag on the bracelet. OMG And that’s when I found you again. So glad I did thank you!
This is the third Joh Wind I have purchased. I will be gifting this to a person who has”everything” and know she will love it.
This spring I had the pleasure of meeting John Wind at Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey. He was selling his jewelry by the gift shop and I absolutely love jewelry and found myself drawn to his table. I was admiring the Sorority Gal Cotton Pearl Initial Bracelet when he asked if I was interested in anything and I mentioned this bracelet reminded me of a bracelet Grace Kelly wears if one of my favorite films Rear Window. I was drawn to it. He said without skipping a beat that the exact bracelet I just mentioned inspired him to create the Sorority Gal Cotton Pearl Initial Bracelet. To say our meeting was fate is a serious understatement. We connected and in my eyes share the same passion for fashion. I am now a proud owner of John Wind jewelry and look forward to being a lifelong customer. The best part of our meeting was when he told me his mother was a sculptor and one of her sculptures was at the grounds. That was extra special. Definitely recommend his jewelry and you should add to cart ASAP!
As soon as I saw this bracelet come across my facebook page I knew I had to have it. It reminded me of Grace Kelly's bracelet in Rear Window. So I went on the website, and amazingly the description even mentioned Grace Kelly. Well I got the bracelet, and I can attest that it is classy, timeless, and beautiful just like Grace Kelly. Love it!!
