I have made for myself and some friends and family what I call a “family bracelet”. You could also call it a “mother’s” or “grandmother’s” bracelet. The bracelets represent the birthstones for each member of the family/person you are representing. So, not only are they colorful, they have great meaning.
Here are some examples:
I am offering these bracelets as a custom order for yourself or to purchase as a gift for $50. I can make a bracelet with three to nine birthstone crystals. In between the Swarovski 8mm crystal birthstone stations will be sterling silver seamless beads and Bali beads of varying designs – depending on the space. Each crystal will be flanked with a sterling silver bead cap of various designs. If you need more than nine, I can make it with 6mm crystals and do up to fourteen – photo example below.
I will make it with as many silver beads as necessary to make the design look balanced and for the bracelet to be the right size. All components will be solid sterling silver, including the toggle clasp.
Here are the birthstone crystal colors:
January – Garnet
February – Amethyst
March – Aquamarine
April – Clear Crystal (Diamond)
May – Emerald
June – Pearl or Alexandrite
July – Ruby
August – Peridot
September – Sapphire (I used a dark color, but I can use a lighter sapphire blue if you desire)
October – Pink Tourmaline or Opal
November – Topaz (I usually use a golden color, but I can use a light blue if you prefer or it looks better in the design)
December – Blue Zircon or Turquoise
Here are some alternative stones for several months:
My lighting in the photos is not the best – I apologize!
I like to play with the birthstone color a bit if it helps the design of the bracelet. If I think an adjustment should be made to your bracelet I will talk it over with you and send photos if necessary. Some families have multiple birthdays in the same month. For some months there are alternative color choices, such as November, which is Topaz. I usually use a golden color for November, but I can also use a blue topaz.
Here are the toggle choices:
If you are interested in placing an order, leave a comment on this post or email me at goodbyeordinary (at) yahoo (dot) com. You will need to tell me the months for the birthstones you want to use – in order, the toggle design you like, and the length of bracelet that works best for you or the recipient of the bracelet. The price is $50. I can send you a paypal invoice to pay for your order if you want to pay that way. You can also pay by check or cash. If I need to mail it to you (because you don’t live in the Portland area), the mailing cost is about $3.00 and I insure it.
The bracelet that I made for myself has my husband’s, mine, and all of my children’s birthstones – including Levi’s which is the opal for October. Here it is:
Thank you for considering a purchase of one of these bracelets to help us raise money for our adoption! You will also be purchasing a special keepsake for yourself or your mom or grandma. 🙂

I have made family bracelets for purchase for several years. They are a unique gift to give to a mom, grandma, aunt, or friend. Each bracelet is custom made for that person as a visual representation of the birth month of each family member. You can include the husband and wife’s birthstone as well as their children, or you can have a bracelet that is just the children’s birthstones or just the grandkids’ birthstones. I will make it to your specifications. All the components of the bracelet are made of solid sterling silver and Swarovski crystals.
