According to a spokesman for Giovanni Bosco, President-Elect Barack Obama is working up to a thank you gift for his wife for being a sport on the campaign trail.  Obama has his eyes set on a $30,000 Harmony ring made from rhodium and encrusted diamonds.  Not too shabby, eh?

Okay, so who else is looking at this particular bracelet & thinking, “Gee, who was rolling around in the haystack?”

Apparently this here bracelet is made using feathers and not hay, surprisingly enough.  Part of H. Stern’s Feather Collection, this piece is a little on the clunky side but still rather fashionable.

But for $21,000, do you really want something that’s ‘rather fashionable’?  You tell me.
