Family Bracelet - a gold bangle with a state for each family member

Do you have family stretched out around the country? This Family Bracelet, a little bangle with a state for each place you have a loved-one, is a nice way to wear (or give) a family remembrance.

We've got the charms in gold and silver-plated finishes, as well as brass. You can make a shiny gold bangle, like the one shown here, or create a mixed-metal bangle that can be worn everyday.

This one features states for (most) of our staff members. What's missing? New York and Indiana...

What states would be on your bangle? Reply below by midnight, Tuesday December 16th, and you could win a gold or silver-plated state of your choice.

Hello, I am Cynthia, the author of this blog. I am the Creative Director of Ornamentea.com, your favorite place for beads and jewelry findings on the web. I write about jewelry and crafts using tools and ingredients from around the world and (when possible) I tell you where you can find them, too. Sometimes I post links from the blogs of friends and folks-I'd-like-as-friends. I may be paid by some of these folks to try out their materials or products, but I don't share links to things I don't think are a good addition to your home studio. Additionally, I write about crafty business, or chickens, or even things to do and see here in Raleigh, NC, where I live. I always try very hard to put the correct link to a project or event here on this blog, but tell me if I get if wrong.

Please don't take posts or images from my blog or websites and use them without linking back to the correct page. Please do share my ideas with your family, friends and the whole crafty world WITH lots of linking-back. I like that.
