Personalized Keepsake Bracelets Make a Perfect Mother's Day Gift

Hello!

I know that for many of us this is Easter weekend, but Mother's Day is also not far behind. Have you gotten something for your Mom yet? Still trying to decide what to get? My Personalized Keepsake Bracelets make the perfect Mother's Day gift. They come in 5 Designs, 12 Styles, 90 possible bead combinations, a range of prices and can be a single strand or up to four strands. Choices, choices, choices!!

You can find them on my website in the Personalized Keepsake Bracelets Boutique. You can also find them in my ArtFire Studio (look under Studio Sections on the right side ~ the top 5 choices are the Keepsake Bracelets in various designs). Want a quick peek at each? Ok...

The first design is the Name/Birthstone Keepsake Bracelet. Here's a sample of one of the Isabella Styles:

The second is the Pet Name Keepsake Bracelet ~ can't forget the Pet Moms!! Here's a sample of one of the Kiara Styles:

The third is the Couples Keepsake Bracelet. Here's a sample of one of the Karen Styles:

The fourth and fifth options are wonderful ways to include an entire immediate or extended family in birthstones on a single strand. The fourth is the Family Keepsake Bracelet and includes Mom, Dad and Children. Here's a sample of one of the Ali Styles:

And the fifth design is the Generations Keepsake Bracelet where you can put Grandma, Grandpa, Children and Grandchildren all on one strand. Here's a sample of one of the Melania Styles:

If you're not sure what to do for a Mother, Grandmother, Nana or Godmother for Mother's Day stop over and take a look... one of these bracelets might be just the thing. They're a wonderfully meaningful gift that will be treasured for a lifetime. The easiest place to start is with the Personalized Keepsake Bracelet Ordering Guide that I put together because it will guide you through selecting the design, choosing your options, price lists, etc. You can check out the Personalized Keepsake Bracelets Gallery to see some of the ones I've done and get ideas. And, of course, if you have questions or need help, I'm right here..... Contact Me anytime.

Have a Happy Easter!

Welcome to the new Designs by Debi Handmade Jewelry Blog!

 I'm glad you're here! Most of you may know that I've had a "Site Blog" since the website went live to update you when new pages are added to the site. Well, I've decided that I want a traditional blog, too. I want to get to know you, interact with you and be able to share things with you... sometimes about jewelry, sometimes not. And I hope you'll share with me, too.

My name is Debi Auger and I live in Woonsocket, RI. I'm an Eskie Mom... to a 12 year old American Eskimo named Niko. He's my child with 4 paws and the light of my life. Isn't he cute?

 I also suffer from insomnia as you may have noticed from the time of this post :)

 I'm the designer behind Designs by Debi and the owner of it's parent company, Makana Mai Akua, Inc. (The name is Hawaiian and means 'gift from God.') I was blessed during a very difficult time to find the talent I had to design jewelry. I specialize in custom work and one-of-a-kind pieces and that's where most of my business comes from.

I offer quite a few personalized bracelet designs for custom order. I now have 5 kinds of Keepsake Bracelets -- Name/Birthstone, Pet Name, Couples, Family and Generations. I also have Support Your Soldier Bracelets™, Rainbow Bridge Pet Memorial Bracelets™, Remember 9/11 Memorial Bracelets™ and Awareness Bracelets for all causes.

The knack I have to create meaningful jewelry with sentimental value is a wonderful gift. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to work on these designs and get to know the person enough to make them truly special.

That's another reason I created this blog...to share thoughts, designs and ideas and gain inspiration by getting to know you.

I hope to make this a nice place that you'll look forward to visiting... grabbing a cup of coffee and dropping by to hear the latest and join in the conversation! I hope you'll subscribe to the feed, stop by often and enjoy your time here :)

Thanx for visiting.
All the best,
Debi
