| | Does anyone know of a man's "brag" bracelet and where to buy one?
I have tried looking around here. Cannot locate.
I have tried to purchase an "id" sort of bracelet only a bit more upscale than the old ones some of you might know.
One issue, hubby wrist is not "normal" size (neither are his ring fingers). When we tried shopping together one time I had him try on some in the shop, most did not work. I think they said the size he basically fit into but would like it a bit larger was a 9 or something like that.
Any clues?

| | Something like this?
Or maybe this?
(by the way, that model on that web site has the grossest eyelashes I've ever seen)
Or you can have me design something very cool and unique. I use these engraved beads for mother's bracelets, but there is no reason I can't do one for a guy. I'll have to post a picture of my latest that is a chainmaille version and very cool. Could be pretty "manly" too.

| | I thought about you Lynn, but I wasn't sure if there would be something guy-enough (if that makes sense).
I don't want something girly or feminine, especially with his size. (Not that he couldn't thump down on someone if they made fun of him, but I want him to feel comfortable wearing it too.)
(And, yes, you are right, those model's eyelashes are horrible.)

| | I'll post a pic of my maille mother's bracelet. It uses the oval onyx engraved bead that's on this site (sorry, my bad, I thought I posted the link!) and is chunky and could definitely be used for a guy.

| | Metal by default is manly. What is amazing is that Lynn can make it feminine.

| |  Not hard at all. Well, I don't think so. I love metal.
I'll get a pic of my bracelet tomorrow. Here's one that I made for someone else....picture a single oval bead in place of the "ladder" of rectangular ones and you've got mine.

| | 'k, here's my mother's brag bracelet.
Yes, I have one that has my human kids on it too.
This one is the onyx oval bracelet. I'm also showing it on the wrist of Rod, our artsy-fartsy group Boy Toy...when I asked him if this was too dainty for him, he said no. He's a fairly generous guy, and very masculine (he carves wooden spoons if anyone is interested).
Kim, if you are interested for hubby, PM me and I'll send you a quote. I would do a longer chain and a more masculine clasp for a guy's version.

| | I have seen that one...but, that is a little bit different, it won't be a dude giving it to another dude!
And, it's the babies information that will be on it...
