Noting it was from Forever 21 I decided to troll their site to see if I could find a mate for it. While I didn't find a match I did find several OTHER cuffs that could put you well on your way to enviable cosplay props! Remember to check these against the databook scan. This is the closest match to Gracia's first level bracelet, someone with the right tools and patience could take out the center backing and be left with filigree that would serve quite well. At two for seven dollars, even if you DON'T use them, they're lovely and you'd have one to keep and one to give to a friend! If accuracy isn't your main focus and you just want to look great, this cuff is reminiscent of Gracia's feminine grace without making you look like EVERY OTHER cosplayer out there. The filigree in the center is great and with a hot glue, feathers and added jewels would be a snap. If you're careful or use rubber-cement, you could even do it without ruining the cuff for later use! Fancy something more DIY? You could pick up two of these which make excellent 'perfect circles' that are on hinges so you can get your wrist in and out and build your own ideal cuff from there! I have to say I was actually pretty impressed. By skimming their bracelet page I found a lot of potential at really reasonable prices. I checked over at say...Target.com to find most of their bracelets START at $18! Even the pricier ones on Forever 21 are only $8 or so. Of course you have to add shipping to that, so if you're just looking for a single thick bangle (as low as $3.40 each on Forever 21) you might do better scouting yard sales. But good luck finding two of the same size and thickness. And no, I do not work for Forever 21, nor am I getting anything for this promotion. XD Just sharing since I know there's a lot of Gracia lovers out there.

I was looking for material to actually make the cuffs but I never considered using one as a base, since I've never found cheap ones but those are quite inexpensive! The sad thing is I shop at Forever 21 most of the time and never really bothered to look in the jewerly section ishshot Thanks for the info! This will definately help! XD

My problem is everytime I see something cute, plastic and orange or yellow I get the insatiable urge to cosplay Selphie, even though I am LORDLY too tall for it!
