Keepsake Heirloom Family / Events Bracelet

I'm the one in the family that takes all the pictures.  I love keeping a visual record of people in my life and the things we do together. I got to thinking about how I don't look at my pictures often, it's too cumbersome getting out the albums or referring to my computer. It occurred to me that I refer to events by when they happened and people can be represented by the month they were born.  I decided that I would combine my love of jewelry with that of family and events!  Walla, the bracelet below was born.  

I wanted a bracelet that encompassed my entire immediate family.  It includes my Mother and Father, their 4 children and all of their children and their children in succession. I have 37 family members on my bracelet.  Each person is represented by their birthstone color. The rhinestone spacer beads separate family groups.

This is my bracelet

Faceted Aurora Borealis Crystal Beads With Rhinestone Spacer Beads

The width is about half the size of a pencil so it's light and easy to wear.  I never take it off.  The most amazing thing happened after I made it and put it on - I felt sooo connected to my family in a way that's hard to explain.  I feel closer to them because I can "see" them. 

Since this is the first one I made, good thing it was for me!  I learned a lot about how to make a bracelet sturdy for everyday wear.  The closure is silver, I put split rings on both ends to keep them from coming open and me losing my bracelet accidentally.  It's been a fun experience to make, a great way to keep family close and on top of it all it's beautiful!

I would be honored to make one for you. More info here http://www.specialmomentsjewelry.com/Keepsake-Bracelet.html
