The ALEX AND ANI Empress of Jewels Collection features our signature expandable wire bangles embellished with Swarovski crystals. When our pieces are adorned with Swarovski crystals and infused with light, the pure, vibrant rays of the spectrum create a brilliant flare of color unlike the hues found in the natural world. Crystals hold this luminosity in remarkable ways: the crystalline matrix, central to a crystals structure, has been said to contain the powerful creative energies of the universe.A17EB12SG
