When I first saw them at a local boutique, they didn't really draw my attention. Then after my first son was born, I wanted a piece of Mommy jewelry. I didn't want the typical pieces like the mother's ring or the silver boy charm for a necklace. I read on another forum about a mom who got a Pandora bracelet as her Mother's bracelet. I went back and looked at them again and fell in love! I decided to make a bracelet about our son, my husband and myself. Each of us could have a section on the bracelet. Much to our surprise I became pregnant again 11 months later, so I decided to make one just for the boys. I can add charms that remind me or describe my sons, and they can have gift ideas for holidays. So I needed another bracelet for the charms about my husband and I. Now I'd like to start a third one that is more designed. I like the idea of the bronze and champagne colors with the silver and gold beads. Also, for the previous poster who said she didn't wear hers in the winter because some of her beads snag on her sweaters, why don't you just take those off during the winter months? Maybe you could have extras to replace the ones you take off. ; )
