Poker Bracelet Manufacturer Goes Public! Creator of the Winner's Bracelet for Trump's U.S. Poker Championship Is Expanding!

    QUEENS, NY, October 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What started out three years ago as a jeweler creating the winner's bracelet for Trump's U.S. Poker Championship and the World Poker Tour Amateur Poker League, is now an expanding poker accessory enterprise opening distribution channels to the public.

"With many smaller tournaments popping up, we are now making it easy for anyone who wants a poker bracelet like the pros to have one," says Jordan Eddi, founder of ProPokerGear.com. Bracelets start at $19.99, with an average price of $49.99. Customers can upgrade with diamonds and platinum at an additional cost. Generic bracelets are in stock as well.

"No one does it better or has more options for bracelets," says co-founder Mark Reyes. "ProPokerGear.com has a revolutionary application called "turbo builder" that enables customers to build their own bracelet and then submit it to the jeweler for a price quote."

With the explosion of poker on television (ESPN has replaced hockey with poker), and the upcoming holiday gifting season, the time is right for business expansion. "Whether you want a poker bracelet or custom-designed poker jewelry, ProPokerGear.com is your one-stop shop," says Eddi. "We have many different bracelets in stock, ready to ship - as well as accessories, trophies and card guards. Custom design work is fast and affordable. Simply explain what you want and we will design it for you. I can't think of a better gift for poker fans!"
