Why Can't I Sell Anything?!

I keep lowering prices, and have ads running, but I can't seem to sell any of my bracelets.

Well you're certainly getting a lot more views than me.. all though i haven't been up as long as you.
Having lower prices doesn't necessarily mean more sales. When your prices are too low, potential buyers think it's not something worthy of buying. They expect to pay more for handmade items. Make sure that your prices aren't so low that you aren't breaking even with your expenses!
I had this problem at first.
And in your shop introduction, it says you have more items but they aren't listed. Having more of a selection is always better!
Maybe try some holiday themed items or other themes.. People seem to really like harry potter.

You might also want to look into SEO. I think your titles aren't optimal.

More keywords always help! Joining teams with keywords is a huge one. Everyone should definitely join EtsyLush, because they're a godsend when it comes to teams, treasuries, and views.

Work on getting bright, crisp photos. You may need to use a photo editing software to get what you want, but start by taking your photos in natural day light or a light box.
Consider shipping to other countries (and don't be afraid to charge for shipping! your buyers are willing to pay it, I promise!). Nearly 50% of my sales come from other countries all over the world.
Most importantly, add more inventory! You can't sell what you don't have listed! I know it's much easier said than done, but if you focus on increasing your inventory and set goals for yourself (3-5 new items a week, for example), it will really pay off!
