Name Bracelets

Looking for more fun and fashionable ways to express yourself? Or a unique gift that shows you gave your choice some thought? Try name bracelets!

A name bracelet is, well, a bracelet with a person's name on it. A name bracelet usually has just the first name on it. The name in many cases is a cast single piece that forms a pendant for the name bracelet. Other times the name is part of a larger, detailed pendant.

In name bracelets, options abound.

First, choose your favorite bracelet style for the band of the name bracelet, then decide on a pendant style (or alternative, as listed below). Many materials are used to craft name bracelet bands and pendants. Some choices are

• Beaded name bracelets – name may be on a plate-like pendant, tag, or spelled with letter beads
• Sterling silver name bracelets – a great choice for an engraved personalized name bracelet
• Gold name bracelet - (your choice of gold color and karat; examples - 14k white gold name bracelets, a nice alternative to sterling name bracelets, or a yellow 14k gold name bracelet) – a custom name bracelet in 14k gold is another very nice choice for fine personalized, engraved name bracelets
• Leather name bracelet – a riveted metal name plate may bear the name, or the name may be stamped directly into the leather -another choice for a custom name bracelet, but in a more casual style
• Italian name bracelet – arrange links to spell the name
• Bracelets with birthstone and name – make very nice birthday gifts that are available at prices that are affordable – name bracelets in baby jewelry sizes with birthstones are nice gifts for newborns, first birthdays, baptisms, or baby showers

Custom name bracelets are not only fun ways to personalize, they may be the only choice for uncommon names or names with uncommon spellings. With the rise in popularity of unique names and ethnic names, it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy a name bracelet off the shelf with the correct spelling (if you can find the name at all); for instance, 'Jocelyn' is a fairly common name that is available on stock bracelets, but change the spelling to something like 'Josselyn' and you'll never find it on the rack. In this case, a custom name bracelet or engraved personalized name bracelet is the only choice.

Name bracelets are fun and personal, pretty, casual, fancy, and everything in between. Name bracelets show you are proud of who you are, and you want it to show. That's a great gift to give to yourself or another.
