Bangles for the buck

Working out of her grandmother's garage in Plant City, Carley Ochs is not what most picture for an owner of a successful jewelry line.

But in a little more than a year and a half, Ochs has managed to bring her gemmed bracelets to more than 700 stores nationwide, and she sells more than 30,000 bracelets a month.

It all started when Ochs made a few bracelets for family and friends with some stones she brought back from China. One night, she wrapped one of her newly made bangles around a red Solo cup, and the name Bourbon and Boweties was born.
