Choose From a Variety of Personalized Bracelets for Mother's Day

1. Look at bracelets in jewelry catalogs to help you decide what you would like to give for Mother's Day. Give yourself plenty of time to create a custom order that will be ready in time for the holiday.
2. Create a unique, personalized gift by giving a charm bracelet. In addition to the bracelet, select charms that reflect your wife's hobbies, profession or habits. Be sure to add a heart charm to show your love for her.
3. Turn a plain gold or silver bracelet into a unique gift with engraving. Put your wife's name or a special message on a bracelet that will make her smile when she sees it.

Help Children Make Personalized Bracelets for Mother's Day

5. Involve your children in Mother's Day by having them make their own bracelets for their mom, even if you are buying a piece of fine jewelry.
6. Gather the materials needed for making bracelets. Younger children can use embroidery silk while older kids can use beading wire. Purchase the wire, beads and jewelry clasps at a craft store.
7. Use beads to create names, special messages or colorful designs. Encourage children to be creative and do whatever strikes their fancy.
8. Fasten jewelry clasps to each end of the completed bracelet. If you are unsure of her wrist size, wait until you can get an accurate measurement before attaching the clasp. Avoid an irreversible move, such as clipping off too much of the beading wire.

Tips & Warnings

• Find out your wife's wrist size by measuring her watch or bracelet when she is in another room or out of the house. If you are buying a bracelet, make sure links can be removed or added if necessary.
