Forget wishing upon a star. The more stylish wear a wish bracelet by Brazilets.

The bracelet stems from a 200-year-old tradition from mystical Bahia, Brazil. They are worn throughout Latin America, and it is believed they provide spiritual significance for the wearer.



Kael Robinson founded Brazilets in 2008 to bring the rest of the world the wish bracelets, and now they're being snatched up by celebs Anne Hathaway, Lauren Conrad and Kristen Stewart.

Wrap a wish bracelet around the wrist and tie three knots, making a wish with each knot. When the bracelet naturally breaks down or falls off, it is believed that your three wishes will come true.

The bracelets retail for $5 and come in a wide range of colors. In Oklahoma, Brazilets are available at Tiger Lily in Edmond and Stillwater, and at Kokopelli and Sabi in Oklahoma City.
