in february 2008, my husband bought me a cartier LOVE bangle and ever since then, my daughter has wanted to get me something special from 'her' and only her. something that is meaningful and with a similar conontation like the LOVE bangle, but obviously, a great deal cheaper. :graucho:

then it hit me! there's this adorable boutique just a few blocks from where we live that sells the pandora bracelets and as we were looking at the fun and playful charms, my daughter had mentioned that she would love to pick out the charms for me if i ever decided to get one.

i thought this would be a wonderful—and cheaper—alternative to a LOVE bangle (and so i don't have to wear those animal rubber bracelets anymore...LOL). for me, i like the black leather band better than the silver, and anytime i get a charm, she could pick it out and therefore would choose the entire bracelet when it's filled. in the end, creating an extremely meaningful charm bracelet. it would be our own little 'LOVE' bracelet.

do you think this is just a silly idea? she's only 10, but i just think it's a great idea and i know whenever i have a birthday, anniversary, etc. this is something she could have fun picking out for me and it's an easy find since it's just down the street and she can easily show my husband what she wants.

i was thinking either the pandora bracelet or the links of london friendship bracelets, but even then, they're a bit pricey considering i'd want to get one for each of us. i still think she may be too young (and too active) for that yet. maybe when she's in high school it would be ideal, but not now.

what do you guys think?

I think it's a good idea, if you build the bracelet slowly with each milestone or celebration it will break the cost up a bit too...but once its finished your daughter might be in university so you have a timeline of memories piled into one piece of jewellery :)

Sounds like a great idea.
A traditional charm bracelet might work as well, but it all depends what you and your daughter prefer. You might also want to look at lovelinks or trollbeads, which I believe are similar to Pandora.

Great idea, I do this with my 3-year-old daughter as well. She picked out the sun charm for my Pandora bracelet while we were on vacation and she loves to look for it on my bracelet. It reminds her of our trip.

Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm. I mentioned it to my daughter the other day and she really loved this idea. In fact, she said she already knows which charm to get for the first time once I get the leather strap. I love this idea and I think it's something I'll go with. I told her that as I will look down onto the finished bracelet, I will always be reminded of her and how she chose each and every charm associated with it.

I love it. I promise to post pics as soon as I start.

Thanks!

My son loves trying to find the little boy charm on my bracelet every time he sees it - he says, "where's Charlie" and turns it around until he finds it. It is so cute and just a little moment that we both share together. By the way, he is 3. I think your daughter will love the idea!

Don't forget that you can't fill up the leather bracelets, they only hold about 9 or 10 beads.

oh, i know. that is totally fine by me. i don't want a completely filled bracelet anyway, and love the look of the leather. i would wear it next to my LOVE bracelet which even though would be unconventional, i think would be cool given the meaning behind both.

thanks!
