Just back from the Bahamas in time for spring to have arrived! Weddings are starting in force, flowers are blooming and so many opportunities to get jewelry as a special gift for the special someone on a special day! First communions, Mother's day, Confirmations, Dance recitals, Graduations, not to mention birthdays, anniversaries and weddings! Over the years I have made many mother's name bracelets and first communion bracelets- unique beautiful things for the special people that it is hard to find something uniquely special for!Recently, I have started making baby christening bracelets with the baby's initials, cross and extension chains to grow with the baby girl! This leaves many opportunities to customize to the taste or personality of the mom and make it a gift the child can use for years! Here's just a sample of one I made a couple of weeks ago. The mom loved it and I got orders for 2 more from a grandma who just had to have some for her new grandbabies.
Anyone interested in having one made can email me at queenbeadgifts@comcast.net, starting at around $20 and comprised of Swarovski crystals, pearls and all sterling findings and beads, it's a much better gift than a frame or a spit up blanket which doesn't have any sentimental value. Do you have anything left from your christening gifts as a child? I have only one and it was a strange one- a man who knew my parents and lived in Mexico at the time bought me a brass scale- It is not super accurate, but it is still in my dining room almost 50 years later! So you never know- I still have the lockets my grandma received as a child around 100 years ago- that is so cool to have something that is unique and valuable that lasts!!
