 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!
