IDEA: Mother Bracelet

Mother and Friend Bracelet
What Mother wouldn't love to receive this bracelet? Mother Bracelets are very popular these days! This elegant design combines our Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Letter Beads and is perfect for marking special occasions.

Feel free to design your own with children's names and Swarovski birthstone crystals or replace the word "Mother" with our other 5mm Sterling Silver Beads to say "AUNT" or "GRANDMOTHER" and any other other of our fun Swarovski Crystal colors!
