Alex and Ani (+) Energy: Another Sister City Connection

My parents came to visit me last week and my mom was wearing Alex and Ani bracelets that were from the Newport, Rhode Island store (our sister city!). For those of you who don’t know about Alex and Ani, it’s a company that started in Rhode Island and uses recycled materials to make their jewelry. Their bracelets are the biggest trend in the United States right now. There are bracelets with different charms, designs, stones and they come in gold or silver. Usually customers who buy the bracelets, buy a good amount of them and stack them on their wrist just like my mom did. Their mission statement entails…

"Alex and Ani, LLC offers eco-friendly, positive energy products that adorn the body,
enlighten the mind, and empower the spirit, designed by Carolyn Rafaelian and
made in America. Rafaelian believes that every individual has a positive message
to share with the world and by incorporating powerful symbolism and infusing
(+) energy into each piece, Alex and Ani provides a vehicle for the wearer to express
their individuality in an organic, spiritual way. Carolyn believes it is her life’s work to
inspire her customers to relish what is unique and authentic about themselves,
drawing out the beauty that resides within."
