Family Name Bracelet, An Anniversary Gift Idea

Need some idea for anniversary gift? How about personalized family bracelet from Bigib.

Recently, I made family name bracelet for a couple who is celebrating their anniversary. They have 4 children and 7 grand children.

Each name is hand stamped on a silver disc and linked with jump ring. Just like a family, every family member is "linked" with each other. Hand made "S"clasp added to connect the bracelet.

It's truly one of a kind, personal gift you can give for your special one.

C ring black steel and red lampwork earrings

"Everything happens for a reason... "

Last few months, I'm experiencing a frozen shoulder. I felt devastated as I have shoulder pain and limited movement thus limiting my ability to make metal jewelry.

With that constraint, I came up with different material to work on jewelry.

This earrings is made of C ring ( or clamp?) adorned with red lamp work dangled on sterling silver ear wire. It's a material that is sometimes overlooked, but could create a unique piece of art.


It's true, if I haven't had a frozen shoulder, I won't be making this...

Depending on the weather, you may be able to see Monarch. I learned that this year migration may be late. So, today, went to Milwaukee County Grounds to check out the Monarchs. After looking and looking for a monarch, we 1 close to the sycamore tree.

Our daughter sharp eyes caught the monarch and I (of course) have to take the picture. We saw the chrysalis on the bottom of the butterfly
