Another name bracelet


I really like the Swarovski® cubes! They go very well with the square letter beads. This bracelet is made with sterling silver (of course! All my name bracelets are.), Swarovski® cubes and Swarovski® pearls. The charm I put on this is a puzzle piece. It is the symbol for Autism awareness. My son has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS (find info here) which is an autism spectrum disorder. The doctor thinks he has Asperger's Syndrome but he's a little young for that diagnosis. So, I have incorporated the Autism awareness symbol in this bracelet which is one that I wear quite often. Once I get the right color beads, I'm going to be making some Autism awareness bracelets and selling those.

All of my bracelets can be customized with a charm of your choice. This just happens to be the one I choose for my personal jewelry.

Beads, beads & more beads!

I went shopping yesterday! I found some beads that I was looking for so I spent some money. I had a lot of fun last night after I finally got them all tagged so I know how much to charge for them (that's the boring but important part). I came up with a name bracelet that I really like. The pictures don't look as good as it does in person. It's made with sterling silver, Swarovski crystal pearls and of course the letter blocks. I also found some peace stone jasper (had never heard of that before) that is really pretty. It has pink & green in it like I've been using lately. I put that with the pearls & sterling beads and I think it looks great. I might make some earrings to match it. So without further ado (because I'm tired and can't think of anything else to say about these pieces), here are the pictures. Sorry they aren't very big. You can see them better on my website ~ www.lacijo.com.
