Aly & AJ’s GLDN Collection Bolo

$148

I recently met Aly & AJ after their concert at Terminal 5 thanks to a friend who knows them well. I noticed AJ wearing a beautiful necklace and initially thought it was a unique, vintage find from their travels. To my surprise, I discovered they had recently collaborated on a jewelry line with GLDN – a brand I feel often gets overlooked compared to popular options like Catbird and Mejuri. It’s great news for bolo necklace lovers, especially since it costs under $150! I immediately bought one as soon as I could. —Devon Ivie

We’re starting with a few themes for our products: movies with Zero Oscar Nominations (a great conversation starter!), films Based on a Book (perfect for those who love both movies and reading), and movies released in specific decades.
