Brianne Howey Feels a Presence Through Her Bracelet

Brianne Howey has a supernatural connection with her late grandmother, who’s “come through” by way of mediums, and a one-time séance that used her grandmother’s bracelet to guide otherworldly energy into the room.

The star of Netflix’s hit show “Ginny & Georgia,” currently in its third season and remains one of the network’s top 10 shows after two weeks, wears a gold serpentine heirloom most days. “It just makes me feel like I’m with my grandma,” she said of the transcendental link. In an interview, Ms. Howey reflected on the bracelet that is, as she put it, “a physical manifestation” of her memories and her love.

This interview has been edited and condensed.

How did this bracelet find its way to you?

After my grandma passed in 2022, one of my aunts told me that she had left it for me with my name on it, on a Post-it with the bracelet. It’s so, so special to me.

Did your grandma wear lots of other jewelry, or was this her main piece?

Not that much, actually. She was kind of a minimalist. My grandma was a really practical woman. She had eight kids. She was a nurse, very Catholic, not a lot of bells and whistles. So that makes this even more sentimental. My grandma was also the kind of person who, anytime she lost something, she would whip out her St. Christopher beads. She had a lot of rosaries. That was more her jewelry. There would be a rosary around her neck, in every pocket, and she would know exactly who to pray to if you lost something, if you were sick, if I was nervous about a test, anything.

Do you wear it every day?

It’s like a wedding band, almost: I feel kind of naked without it on, and it’s so delicate and comfortable and it lays so flat, and it makes me feel so close to my grandma because my parents had me super young. I was really raised so much by my grandparents, so it’s just extra special.

I have sort of a roller coaster of a past with my jewelry collection. Twice in my life I’ve been robbed. And all my jewelry got stolen. So I’ve sort of been rebuilding. But both times, my grandma’s bracelet, I’ve always had it. It never got stolen, so that’s why it’s extra sentimental.
