On the ABC TV show, "The Bachelorette" it's often the little things that make the difference, sometimes it's a serenade, sometimes a thoughtful gift. For Cape Cod bachelor Chris Lambton a small trinket from home seemed to sway Ali Fedotowsky's heart. The Dennis bracelet, also known as the Cape Cod screwball bracelet is a local favorite well-known to Cape Codders and tourists alike. On last night's episode, Lambton's sisters showed Ali that they all had similar bracelets and that it is a family tradition.

The bracelets are made by Eden Hand Arts, a small shop off of Route 6A in Dennis. The original bracelet which features a silver band with a threaded screwball clasp was first designed by John Carey and is still made on the premises by John's son-in-law. The design is often copied but newer Eden bracelets bear an official silver tag. Other styles and neckwires are also available although you might have a wait right now as orders for the already popular keepsake have spiked because of the television show. This is one gift you can't order online. You can contact them by mail through their website but it's best to make the pilgrimage to the small store which is only open through September 4. Just be prepared to wait in line. Even before the show, lines outside the tiny shop were common. After the jump take a look at a local video on this Cape Cod original.
