I don't often wear bracelets anymore since my Apple watch has taken a spot on my left wrist and I've always keep my right wrist bare, so I bought the Noelle with the intention of wearing it as a choker. Stacy asked me if I wanted the bracelet in the new matte gold option, and she sent me photos and videos of both the shiny gold & matte gold. I had a tough time choosing because both are so gorgeous, but decided to go with shiny gold. Let me tell you, I AM SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE! I absolutely ADORE wearing the Noelle as a bracelet, because there are so many shiny surfaces that it reflects light in every direction and it is just so beautiful & versatile next to my Apple watch for any occasion. I am definitely planning on purchasing the Noelle in silver in the future, because I am so in love with my shiny gold Noelle. Everyone needs this bracelet, it is so gorgeous and versatile!
