Louisiana Purchase Bracelet

Celebrate the Louisiana Purchase with this shiny pewter bracelet! On December 18, 1803, the Cabildo at Jackson Square witnessed the epic transfer of nearly 830,000 square miles for just $15 million—about 4 cents an acre. Napoleon, needing funds for his war with England, sold the Louisiana Territory to the U.S., doubling the nation’s size when President Jefferson only wanted New Orleans. This fun bracelet features the Cabildo window, the year 1803, Napoleon’s hat, an American star, and a scroll representing the act of sale. A playful nod to a historic deal!
