Materials

14k Gold Fill or 925 Sterling Silver
Vintage Glass Beads, Japanese Glass Seed Beads

Gold fill is not plating and it is not solid gold. A thick layer of 14k gold is pressure-bonded to a brass core, which is why it holds its color far longer than a plated piece.

Take it off for swimming, showering and the gym. Chlorine, salt water and sweat are what shorten the life of any gold fill or sterling piece.

Finding your size

Measure a bracelet you already own and like the fit of. If you don’t have one, wrap a piece of string around your wrist, mark where it meets, and lay it flat against a ruler. A tape measure is hard to hold flat against a curve, and it is where most sizing mistakes start.

Each length adjusts along an extender chain.
Size	Adjusts between	Choose this if
X-Small	5-6"	Your wrist measures under 6 inches
Standard	6-7"	Your wrist measures 6 to 7 inches
Large	7-8"	Your wrist measures 7 inches or more

Every bracelet finishes with an extender chain, so it sits anywhere inside its range. Move the clasp along the links until it sits where you want it.

If your measurement lands on the edge between two sizes, take the larger one. At the top of a range there is no chain left to let out.

Description

Not a stepmother, and not a substitute. This says bonus mom in Morse code, spelled out in beads, for the woman who took the job without being handed the title. Everyone else just sees a bracelet.

How it reads

Each bead is a dot or a dash. Small spacer beads separate the letters and mark the word breaks, so the phrase is spelled out in full rather than suggested. We choose the dot and dash arrangement that gives you the most color. If you would rather have more metal than color, say so under Special instructions in your cart and we will build it that way.

Materials

925 Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Fill, with Japanese Glass Seed Beads and Vintage Glass Beads.

14k Gold Fill is not plating. It is a bonded layer of 14k gold over a base metal core, and it is substantially thicker than plating, which is what makes the difference in how it holds up. Every finished piece comes with a hallmarked tag stating the purity of the metal used.

Clasp

Standard finishing is a spring ring. A lobster or magnetic clasp is available as an upgrade — choose it above before adding to your bag, and the price updates as you do.

Made by hand

Every piece is strung by hand in our studio in Franklin, Tennessee. Many of the glass beads are vintage, so slight variation between pieces is normal and part of how they are made.

How it arrives

Every order arrives in an embossed gift box with a microsuede pouch, a polishing cloth and care instructions. Add a gift note of up to 25 characters under Special instructions in your cart. Multiple pieces ship in one box unless you ask for separate packaging under Special instructions in your cart.

Making and shipping

Orders are made and shipped within 1–2 business days. Production runs longer through the holiday season; the current time is on our shipping policy. Transit time is in addition to production time.
