The cost of that outfit, bracelet included, could probably bankroll an inner city school for a month. She has some interesting "statement pieces" in her jewelry collection. I'll bet they cost a pretty penny.
I remember when cindy mccain wore this outfit judged to be about a quarter-million-dollars to her first night at the republi-CON convention in 2008. Bright yellow dress and black patent leather open-toe pumps. Dress by Oscar de la Renta, I believe, which I recall had a price tag of a few thousand dollars. It was the JEWELRY she was wearing that broke the bank. Fitting and proper for the well-accessorized spouse-political combatant. And neither cindy mccain nor ayn wrongney are what you could even remotely call non-combatants.
