I wanted to share my work in progress! I'm not 100% sure if it will be a baby-only theme, or a family theme with some love beads mixed in for hubby too. I also am not decided on whether I'd like it to be all silver or two tone, those just happen to be my favorite clips. I have 2 boys, a 4 week old and a 21 month old, so the arrival of our new sweet babe prompted me to start this new braceletI'd love any suggestions you have to help me complete this, I've found so many beautiful baby GIRL bracelets for inspiration- but I think it's a little harder to come up with a bracelet just for boys. I'm the one wearing it, after all, so I don't mind some prettiness
I don't like large dangles, tiny ones are fine though. I also don't really want muranos or colored stones, I'd like to keep it as color-free as possible except for white or blue enamel. The daisy clip and bow are on there now just for balance and weight, they could stay or go on the finished bracelet. My first boy is rough and tumble, he likes all things BOY, my second is very new but so far is very sweet and calm in comparison. We live on a island, so I'm always drawn to those types of charms for every bracelet, but I do have dedicated "tropical" bracelets. I wouldn't mind adding one or two charms to this one to represent our home.
Some ideas for what I'd like to add:
-I need to hunt down an "L" block initial for my new baby's name
-The new little boy charm - 2 of them, one for each of mine
-The fairy tale book
-The frog prince
-Tiny little heart dangle, either silver or two tone
-^ & if I do the heart dangle, possibly the old guitar dangle for balance, but I haven't seen it IRL so I'm not sure of the size?
-I would like to see the rocking horse in store next trip, I saw a picture of a baby girl bracelet where that was centered as the only dangle and it really looked beautiful. That may be the exception to my no large dangle rule
-I would also like to see the carousel in person
-Possibly some sort of mom charm, I got the new openworks heart with "Mom" script and did not like it, so back it goes.
Thank you in advance for any input! :kiss:
Firstly, congrats on the birth of your new baby boy! Funnily, i too have two boys abd tge eldest is called Luka. He is a firecracker whilst our second, who is 4 months now, is totally chilled and calm. You can totally see the differences from the first few weeks.
Another coincidence is that my DH bought me some of the charms you have on your bracelet whilst pregnant; the house, the carriage and the blue enamel teddy. I then added the letter 'L'. I too have the same dilemma about what to add next; I am not so taken by the boy dangle but the other boy charm is even worse IMO. I had no idea there is a rocking horse, I got to check it out.
