onujewelry.com - Gatsby Bracelet - Eco-chic hand-woven beaded jewelry by Donna Silvestri, On U Jewelry, Richmond, VA
I'm not sure if I was in Soho, or Tribeca, but I remember seeing this woman wearing a diamond tennis bracelet and about 3, or 4 other bracelets all stacked together on her wrist.  I loved the 'pop' of the diamonds combined with the color that she wore with it.  So I started playing.  Eventually coming up with the Gatsby style of bracelet, which to me, looked like the colorful 'cuffs' worn in the 1920's by flappers.

This photo is from October of 1999, however, the first Gatsby bracelets were really created a few years before that.  If I can find one in my stacks of old photos I'll post it in the future.

Note that we didn't even have the official "on u" tags then...
