Sadly we don't have any ball gowns... or any balls to attend for that matter!  BUT we can offer you a little piece of glamour from Gwen Stefani's fabulous look at the amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala; a wrap bracelet.  Even with head to toe pure glam Gwen still kept it real with a touch of edginess.  She wore a gold wrap bracelet with her floor length gown. 

Right now on Badjoan.com we've got the Torie Wrap Bracelet by Samanca.  This item is a Bad Joan Exclusive and is currently available in Orange and Teal for $36.  These bracelets look great alone or stacked with other bracelets, and they look great with everything from casual day to dressy night!
