This set is utterly beguiling for two reasons. First those retro whirling rice paddy hats are executed in amusingly heroic proportions. Then when you wear the bracelet, it sounds like wind chimes tinkling gaily at a post-War patio soiree. The effect? Doll-faced 40’s glamour queen accompanied by her own good-time, break-out-the-martinis music ... who can resist that charm offensive? Wearing this number creates a roomful of smiles!
