Flag Colors In Clay
Red, white and green appear as polymer clay discs rather than printed plastic, which gives the color some depth and keeps it from scuffing off with wear. Acrylic cubes spell out the country name and the year, and metal charms break up the runs of color. Layered together the six bands look like a set that was put together on purpose, not a handful of loose beads.
Soccer Charm Detail
A small soccer charm sits on the set and gives it the detail that plain beads lack. It catches light against the clay and marks the bracelets as game day pieces rather than general jewelry. The charm is metal, attached to hold through a season of wear, and it sits flat enough that it does not snag on a sleeve when someone pulls a jacket on in a cold stadium.
Stretch Over Any Wrist
Sizing is handled by an elastic cord and a diameter of roughly 2.36 inches. Nothing has to be measured before a party, which is the practical reason these get bought for a group. The stretch is firm rather than loose, so a band stays put while arms go up for a goal, and it comes off at the end of the night without a clasp to fight with.
Six For The Family
Six is the number that covers a household on match day, or a group of friends meeting at one house. Parents keep one on and hand the rest to whoever walks in the door. Beyond the tournament they work as small gifts for a coach, a teammate or a cousin who follows the same side, and a spare usually ends up looped around a rear view mirror for the season.
