Cowrie Shell Bracelet

[kat_us]

Okay, I 've just left Ebay and the ever present listings of replicates of Brian's cowrie shell bracelet.

What I'm curious about is there any fic out there that addresses the absence of the bracelet after Justin returns it Brian?

Why did he stop wearing it and when?

Found! Link in comments to fic, thank you!

ETA: I found this quote from Patrick Antosh

>My guess is that Brian wore the bracelet as the symbol of the most important things in his life: power, wealth and sexual prowless. But he realized that all these thing became meaningless to him, and there was something (someone) much more significant in his life at that moment.

Agreed. But they also used it in the series as a sign for identification. He lends it to Ted one day to make him feel like Brian Kinney and to make the other sex partners believe that he is Brian Kinney. I imagined that those places where he meets others guys like backrooms and baths are kind of dark and dim places and the bracelet is something haptic that helps identifying who you are with.

Hm, I like that one with the identification.

(But didn't this Tedster-thingy went all wrong? lol, I remember his hot fantasy and then another flashback where everything was awkward XD )
