"Handcrafted." Really? I'm suspicious of some false advertising here.
Also taking the over/under on how long it takes the gold color to start wearing off.

As someone who actually makes handcrafted jewelry, that is not handcrafted. The pieces are stamped out of metal. I bet ever single matching charm on every single bracelet is exactly and precisely the same dimensions. Not that someone skilled with a jeweler's saw can't make things pretty darn close to the same, but handcrafted has a different look to it. Also, the way those charms ae affixed to the chain is not like anything I have ever seen before. That is just ugly as can be. I bet the "gems" are the stick on kind. Yes, you can get these little Swarovski crystals that have glue on the back that a little bit of heat will adhere it to metal. They cost less than $5 for 144 of them. They look exactly like the "gems" attached to a couple of the pieces of charms shown in that photo.

I hope it's before November.

Good chance.

Exactly. It's ugly as hell, to start with. Someone should go after whoever is selling this for misrepresentation.

They aren't actually affixed to the serpentine. They're little rings like on a Pandora. 30 years ago, slide bracelets were a thing with interchangeable slides on a flat bracelet. But they are absolutely not handcrafted in any sense of the word beyond someone having to turn the machine on. The bad design of having all those pointy bits on a bracelet is what gets me. Who the hell wants to constantly be poked with the eagle wings or star dangle? That defeats the entire purpose of the round slides. I have a beautiful sterling silver ring that actually is handcrafted that I don't wear because it has "fuck" written in a spike-y script that resembles a heartbeat, but it kept poking holes in the back of my finger. I love it but I can't wear it.

Here is the Hamilton Collection page for it:

It might be a tiny bit more convincing if they tried to make the photo not look like some cheap computer-generated image.

They have a lovely Better Business Bureau page.

Love that the big description at the top says "gold-plated" then at the very end of the description it specifies only the little star dangle is actually gold-plated.

While connecting from Europe to the Hamilton Collection site it redirects me to the Swiss site of their mother company The Bradford Exchange.

Looks to me like foreign money is not acceptable cause some of if flows back to the candidate.

Trump: Nancy Pelosi has a big wall around her house. Of course it didn't help too much with the problem she had, did it?

She had a "problem" - that's news to me. But her husband had a problem cause some Republican candidate for impotus was heating up the unstable, like at J6.

Trump is at a rally in Wisconsin today. It sounds like this is something he worries about. :lol:

Trump: I will support modifying the 25th amendment to make clear that if a VP lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president, it's grounds for impeachment immediately. And removal from office.

What an oddly specific thing to address. That can't be even in the top ten things voters are thinking about. Must have polled exactly one voter.

He doesn't actually give a shit about it. He's just throwing shade at Kamala because he's accused her of hiding the fact that Biden is senile and unhealthy and lying about his cognitive ability.
