The Look of Love. The original was an engagement gift from John F. Kennedy. Jackie Kennedy liked it so much she wore it all her life. Studded with crystals, this Medium Engagement Bangle with hinged opening is rhodium-plated. Elegant presentation box.

Museum Provenance
So extraordinary, the world still knows her by her first name. So stylish, her fashion choices—oversized sunglasses, glass pearls, statement jewelry, a simple tank watch—are as on-trend today as in the heyday of Camelot. Many of Jackie’s personal items, including gowns and her signature faux pearls, are part of The First Ladies, an exhibit at the National Museum of American History.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Comments about Medium Engagement Bangle:
It was a nice gift from my husband for our anniversary in July 2012. After just a few days of wear a stone fell off during a nice dinner out. It was a little embarrassing to find the tiny stone laying on the table. I could have glued it back in but for over a hundred dollars and only a few days old I returned it as defective. A week or so later I received a 2nd one. This one took longer to lose it's stones, but it has, now 3 gone. I was not as fortunate and did not recover them. I wore it to a Las Vegas trip after Christmas. I am 55 years old. I am not hard on my jewlery. I wore it as anybody else would. I am going to ask if I can return this one and the next one I get I'll have my jewler remove the stones carefully and use some type of glue that will not come undone. Very dissappointing and my husband feels awful.

- Would love to wear everyday but am using it for dressy occasions. - It sparkles & looks antique - Needs a safety clasp. I've worn it only twice & it's already fallen off of my wrist both times. Luckly I found it. I plan to ask a jeweler to add some sort of safety mechanism.

This was a birthday gift and I wear it to church and special occasions or visiting friends/family. Knowing the history of this bracelet makes it memorable. As a mom of four I usually dress for comfort but just putting this on makes me feel sophisticated and elegant. I love the styles of the 50's and 60's and this is such a beautiful, well crafted bracelet. I look forward to enjoying this for many years.

This is a beautiful bracelet. I gave it as a gift to my mother and she is crazy about it. For those who love classic styling in jewelry, this is a fine purchase.
