History behind the design
History behind the design
"The Tea Act of 1773 gave the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in America.
On the evening of December 16th, 1773, Bostonians, following the lead of the Sons of Liberty and disguised as Narragansett or Mohawk Indians (sources disagree), boarded three ships and destroyed 342 chests of East India Company tea, which they dumped in the harbor.
The destruction of the tea was the final straw for Parliament and led to the Intolerable Acts of 1774. These closed the port of Boston, instituted a military government, quartered troops among the population, and allowed all British officials charged with a crime to stand trial in Great Britain instead of the Colonies.
Many years later George Hewes, a 31–year–old shoemaker and participant, recalled "We then were ordered by our commander to open the hatches and take out all the chests of tea and throw them overboard. And we immediately proceeded to execute his orders, first cutting and splitting the chests with our tomahawks, so as thoroughly to expose them to the effects of the water."

Fits my wrist nicely and looks good with the rest of my History List gear.
I wear it every day. I love looking at it and thinking about our incredible history. I am an active person and it stays on my wrist without concern. I can put it on and take it off easily. I’m very happy that I made this purchase.
I am a history nut for sure and I love jewelry so when I saw this bracelet, I knew I had to have it. Merry Christmas to me! I cheated and opened it but am going to wrap it and put it under my tree but I had to peek. It is beautiful and fits perfectly and is so well made too. Being made in the USA makes it even more special. I just love this bracelet and what it means too. If you are undecided about this lovely thing, grab it is all I can say. Fast shipping too! I will order again from the History List!
perfect
I like the quality and the design of the bracelet is well done!!
I love it. This is a comfortable and interesting bracelet. Fits a larger wrist perfectly. Easy to hook and unhook for wearing. The medallion is the focal point, but the wiring and bracelet is well made and cool looking. Bound to get some positive comments and inquiries about it. I didn't recieve my sticker.
I love my bracelet. Not only for what it represents, but for the way it's made-especially "In the USA"! Now folks, it's time to make one with "2021" tea party on it. I'd buy it, both figuratively and literally!
The bracelet is great quality, perfect fit, and I am proud to wear it. I also really like the card that comes in the box with some history of the Boston Tea Party-a great added touch.
