The remarkable bracelet reminds me of the one Chuck Norris used to wear back in the 80’s. Designer Astali has now produced their own version, which you can purchase for the bargain price of $138. One rumor we heard was that the bracelet is illegal in 7 states and some parts of Canada… but our friends at Astali have informed us that’s not true. Too bad.

The collection is part of the “Tex” collection that also features bullet earrings, necklaces and a mixed bullet bracelet.
