Build a .......BRACELET

How fun are these? I wanted to create a bracelet that you could build on, as Mom's have more kids and Grandma's have more grandchildren they can add charms down the road. The charms have sterling silver clasps that you can move around on the bracelet so as you add additional charms you can move them around. It would also be fun to add some seasonal charms or charms that are signifigant to you also. If you are looking for a keepsake gift for the Mom or Grandma that has everything then look no further. To purchase please visit Kristen's Custom Creations, the bracelets start at just $39.90.

Product Details:

This piece was designed for the Mom and Grandma who would like to continue to add charms and build a keepsake bracelet that can be cherished for years to come. The "Build a Keepsake Bracelet" includes your choice of up to a 8 inch sterling silver 925 grade chain link bracelet, one birthstone crytal or freshwater pearl and a custom 3/4 inch sterling silver disc that can be customized to include a child's name, or a special saying please just include your text in the message to seller and the size bracelet you would like. If you would like a smaller disc other sizes are available. Extra discs are available for purchase if you would like to add to the bracelet.

Artist note: The letters on this disc have been hand stamped one at a time. I do not use machines. The letters will not line up perfectly and are not meant to this is part of the charm that makes your piece one of a kind. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same. The charm has been slightly brushed and the letters have been oxidized/antiqued to make them stand out it will appear to be aged or slightly tarnished but has been given a good polish.

***only the finest materials have been used in this necklace. All sterling silver is 925 and Nickel free. I use a Eco-friendly method to oxidize my pieces and never use a sharpie to blacken the letters. Kristen's Custom Creations welcomes custom orders.
