Abstract
The present invention is a combination purse hook and bracelet. The bracelet extends more than 360 degrees around a wearer's wrist, and includes overlapping end portions. The bracelet opens in a clam-shell fashion via a hinge allowing for an opening beyond a 270 degree included angle in use as a purse hook. This enables a relatively light weight bracelet construction to support a relatively heavy purse by aligning the supported load with the location of support.
