FAMILY STORY BRACELET

This Family Story Bracelet can become an heirloom piece of jewelry that tells a story about your family. It is made with "memory crystals" representing important dates in your family.  Mine has Sidney's and my birthstone as well all our children, their spouses (who became our children), our grandchildren and great grandchildren's birthstones. 

 

When my brother, Ronny, found the love of his life in Italy we wanted to welcome our soon-to-be sister-in-law, Paola, into our family.  A shower was not appropriate because they already had all the household items that they needed and besides, it all had to be taken back to Italy on the plane.  So we had a tea party for her where we gave her a "welcome to our family" bracelet.  On it we put their wedding month crystal in the middle, each of their birthstones on each side and their parents' birthstones next to each of theirs.  Then each guest who came to the tea party brought a bead that represented some expression of affection or wish for their marriage.  As each person presented the bead, their sentiments were recorded.  Then each bead was made into a dangle for the bracelet.  The bride was so touched that at their wedding she entwined the bracelet into her bridal bouquet.

 

Contact Us and we'll design a bracelet that tells your family's story.  The "memory crystals" can be put on a bracelet made of beads as this one is or chain links of sterling silver or 14K gold filled wire or whatever you can imagine.

 

This bracelet is made of translucent frosted glass beads with genuine Swarovski crystal "memory crystals" and sterling silver wire and findings.  The cost is $30 for the bracelet plus $2.50 for each "memory crystal."

 

 

 
 

STORY RING

Why not Family Story Ring?  Because it could also be a Friends Ring or a Sweethearts Ring or whatever story you want to tell.  I was going to make a Sisters Ring for my 5 year old granddaughter whose sister is 21 years old.  She thought that was great, she dearly loves her "big sister."  But, she wanted her 2 nephews, who are near her age on the ring too.  So...it's a Sisters and Nephews Ring! 

A ring of only one color whether it's your birthstone or "just because I like the color" would be lovely.  Make up your own story!

Three or four millimeter Swarovski crystals are the focus of these wire wrapped rings.  After placing your order contact us about your ring size and which beads you want in your Story Ring.
