Why this gift works
The Alex and Ani Sweet 16 Charm Bangle (A21EB16SS) is an expandable wire bangle in a nickel-free Shiny Silver finish with a charm reading 'sweet 16'. It adjusts from 2 to 3.5 inches, carries the maker's 1-Year Happiness Guarantee, and Alex and Ani's description reads: 'Blow out the candles, Sweet 16. This is going to be your best year yet.'
It is an affordable, recognizable-brand keepsake for the day - easy for a relative or family friend to give, and easy for her to wear with the rest of her stack.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Aunts, grandparents and family friends
- Sweet 16 parties
- Girls who stack bangles
Think twice if
- She prefers sterling or gold
- She does not wear bracelets
The catch
It is a silver-tone finish, not sterling silver; the maker sells its gift box separately; it is the same format as other Alex and Ani bangles she may own; and the wire style can slide around on very slim wrists.
Skip if she only wears fine jewelry, or does not wear bangles.
