This bracelet is perfect if you have alot to say...
The sterling silver rectangle charm measures about 2" x 1" and can be handstamped with up to 5 lines of text, about 25 letters per line, in our lowercase tiny font. Perfect for lots of names, a scripture, an inspirational phrase or quote, etc.
{ we love this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt }

Finished with a sturdy sterling oval chain and a sterling lobster clasp.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 520 Newer› Newest»I would have the fortune that I have kept in my wallet for about 8 years behind my driver's license stamped on this bracelet, because it has come true so many times:
"Your dreams will come true when you least expect it."
Hope is a thing with feathers That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without words And never stops at all.
---Emily Dickinson
Love the new bracelet!
I would put either a bible verse or a quote. I love both of these!
Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Or
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
Charles Dickens
I would love to get this to be a Hero bracelet for a friend! She lost her Husband in Afghanistan in May and I think this would be a pretty version and a great reminder!
I would put a bible verse...
Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me, or a quote "loving heart is the truest wisdom" Charles Dickens! Or my 3 kids names! Wow this would be hard to decide.
That is such a beautiful bracelet! If I would pick a saying, it would be Mae West's - You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.--Laura Ingalls Wilder"
This quote is from her essay "Sweet Williams" in July 1917. I think it would all fit, but if it wouldn't, I could leave off her name--I know who said it. Love the bracelet!
I would love to have mine engraved in portuguese: "Existem mais coisas entre o céu e a terra do que a nossa vã filosofia pode supor." william Shakespeare
In english for you to choose:
"There are more things in heaven and earth
Than are dreamt of in our philosophy."
I have always loved that quote since I was teenager. It would be nice to have that engraved in a bracelet.

I would give the bracelet to my daughter's fifth grade teacher as an appreciate gift. The quote I would select is:
"Many a child who watches television for hours will go down in history---not to mention arithmetic, English and geography."
- Unknown
i'd have to stick with my hubbie & kids names!
i love your jewelry. my favorite quote is "love is not looking into each other's eyes and liking what you see, but looking outward in the same direction".
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."
- Leonard Cohen
I love this!
I would add 3 of the following 4 lines:
I just want to be tangled up inside all that is you,
Feel you wrap around me and watch the world crumble away,
Look into your eyes and watch your seasons change,
Fall into your sky, I'm never coming down again.
It's from a song my husband to be wrote for me. I'd just have to consult with him which line he would rather leave out.
It's not super long, but I would get the quote "Because I knew you..." then put DMH 1/24/44-2/11/09
A memorial of sorts to my mom. I miss her daily and this would be perfect! I would also add a charm that I make with her baby pic.
Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great way to express yourself! Or have a reminder of how you want to be right on your wrist.
Mine would say this:
"I believe in pink, I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing,
kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe
that happy girl's are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day,
& I believe in miracles."
- audrey hepburn
I LOVE your new bracelet!! Here is the quote I would put on it:
"The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days, waiting for better ones ahead. The grand and the simple. They are equally wonderful." ~Marjorie Pay Hinckley
I have always loved that quote.
Finish what you start!
5k run ~ 4/24/2010 ~ 26:05.21
10k run ~ 5/22/2010 ~ 55:23
13.1 miles ~ 9/11/2010 ~
I still need to finish what I started. I have never been a runner and just started running in March to support a family in our community that lost their 8 year old daughter to cancer. They set up a 5k run in April to honor their daugher and raise money for the American Cancer Society. I lost my oldest brother to brain cancer when he was 8 and thought this was a great way to also remember him and the struggle my family has gone through. After my first 5k I have just kept running and never looked back!
Oh wow, there are so many ideas to put down but since I will be celebrating my 15 year anniversary on August the 12th I would have to say:
~By the grace of God & one red light~
Chris & Trish
Aug 12, 1995
We met while we were both stopped at a red light while on vacation in Myrtle Beach. He lived in Georgia and I lived in Kentucky. Four months later he proposed and we have been together ever since.
Thanks for a chance to win!
What a generous gift, and a totally cool idea for a bracelet!!..
My favorite quote by the late Gilda Radner -
"Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.”
This is wonderful -- thank you for the opportunity! I received an email the other day entitled "What Loves Means"; it was different quotes that children said about love.
Here are my new two favorite quotes:
1. "Love is what is in the room with you at Christmas when you stop opening presents and just listen." - Bobby, age 7
2. "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you've left him alone all day." - Mary Ann, age 4
So lovely! I would put
"Nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted."
A good and constant reminder,
"Love will protect, Love always hopes
Love still believes when you don't
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you"
A good and constant reminder,
"Love will protect, Love always hopes
Love still believes when you don't
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you"
I would love this bracelet stamped with the lyrics to a song that reminds me of what my faith can do:
"I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do" ~ Kutless
My son was born with severe medical problems and we have been through so much with him. If I didn't have my faith there is no way I woudl have been able tops survive any of the things we have watched him endure.
Faith can do anything....including making broken hearts brand new.

i looooove this (:
i would put
"be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
I would pick a quote too, maybe this one:
"To be nobody but yourself--in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
-e e cummings
My dad unexpectedly passed away a few months ago. I would put this quote on it:
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
Rivers know this:
there is no hurry.
We shall get there some day.
-Winnie the Pooh
what a good mantra to live by! pooh is so wise!
ash.leanne@hotmail.com
I LOVE this. My husband and I just adopted out first baby boy 6 weeks ago and I would love to have "In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will. Ephesians 1:5
This is by far my FAVORITE item you've ever put up. It's different yet classic yet modern all in one! I would love engrave with either
Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear for I am with you do be dismayed for I will uphold you with my righteous right hand
OR
these lyrics from my husband and my favorite singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson...
Just as I am, Just as I was, Just as I will be He loves me He does.
Thanks for the chance to win :)
I love it! I would put the quote from Henry David Thoreau:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.”
I would put this in honor of my loved ones:
Missing you on Earth. See you in Heaven.
Earle and Virgina Carte
Blaine Stump
Betty Ann Stump
Patsy Lee Young
Wonderful bracelet! There are so many awesome quotes (many listed in the comments here) ... but the one that's calling me today is "Keep on the sunny side".
For those days I am down on my mothering skills, I love this one! I have it hanging at my desk.
“There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one” Jill Churchill
"The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end" Isaiah 60:20
The quote I would love comes from the movie Hope Floats but I am pretty sure it is too long, but here it is anyway:
Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome. That's what momma always says. She says that beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will, too...
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -- Leo Buscaglia
maybe even something very simple....
Priceless (just because it is my fav word)
Pay It Forward (one of my FAV movies and something I try to do at least once each week)
Or... something that I tell my dh ...
I can't imagine my life without you.
For those days when I am feeling like a not so perfect Mom. I have had this one hanging at my desk since my daughter was born.
“There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one” -Jill Churchill
I love this bracelet! I would put one of my favorite quotes on it...it is...
"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others can not keep it from themselves." - Sir James Barrie
Wouldn't that be a cute bracelet??? :) Thanks for the chance to win!!
These are absolutely PRECIOUS! This would be my first Vintage Pearl "purchase", but I view your website at least 2 or 3 times a week and i'd love to have one of each thing! This would be a great way to start out my "aspiring collection"!
If I won the bracelet, I would probably use this quote:
“Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, and no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.”
*CROSSING MY FINGERS!*
What a BEAUTIFUL bracelet!! I hope I win this one :)
I would have to put my favorite bible verse.. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
What a gorgeous bracelet. I would probably put "American by birth, Cajun by the grace of God"
This bracelet looks great ! I would put one of my favorite quotes and my kids' names:
A paren's love is whole no matter how many times divided
Drenig - Keridwen - Ælfeirinn - Svertingr
Thanks for this give away
Vanessa
"The purpose and love of my life is Jesus Christ. I don't have to argue religion, philosophy, or historical evidence...because I KNOW Him.
Lauren McCain- Victim of the VT Tragedy
I was very excited to read most of the entries to find new verses and quote to put up in my house. My sister wrote up a bunch of verses and sent to me to open when I was feeling down. I am trying to figure out what one to put here. One is PS 20:24 - Since the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way? or When God is involved anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good out of bad. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I would put a verse that has been a catalyst in so much change in my life. I have wanted to engrave it onto something to carry with my on my missions trip in September: "My beloved spoke and said to me, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come..." Song of Songs 2:10-14
What a beautiful bracelet! I would choose this quote:
"The Mother's Heart Is The Child's Classroom"
That's a HARD choice! I think I would choose "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot
So beautiful! I would put, "You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord." Jeremiah 29:13-14
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau
these are the words i would want to inscribe on the bracelet as a gift for my niece on her 16th birthday, words i hope she would take to heart as she grows from child to adult.
ooooh! ooooh! pick me! i'd either have Romans 15:13 or Proverbs 3:5-6 put on the bracelet....if i won! :-)
This one is easy for me, my favorite quote that I whisper to my little girls a lot-
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." Christopher Robin
I love this bracelet. It is so beautiful. I think I would put a reminder of my husband and mine's song from our wedding:
Jeff and Kim
And you would know you have my heart
If you could see, what i see
that a treasure's what you are
if you could see, what i see
Created to be
the only one for me
If you could see, what i see
or maybe this part of the song:
You're created to be
The perfect one for me
If you could see
What i see
This is such a wonderful reminder in these words of who God created my husband to be for me. I have always treasured him. What a blessing to have a reminder to wear on a bracelet.
Thanks for creating such beautiful and touching jewelry!
I would actually like to get the name Laurentiu printed on it.
It is not a child, or relative of mine but is actually a boy from Romania.
I have never met this person but he is actually from a documentary that i have been watching over and over again!
It is about the child sex trade in Romania.
This story about his life has touched me so much! I have been intrested in the sex trade for awhile but there is something about this boy from this documentary that touches my heart!
I would love t possibly work in this field or at least help out i some sort of way.
I think his name would always be a reminder!
kshuttle@uoguelph.ca
Oh, my goodness what a charming bracelet!
If I were to win, I would put this quote on the bracelet:
“I am you; you are ME. You are the waves; I am the ocean. Know this and be free, be divine.”
--Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Not sure what I would put, but I would love to win this!
susanerios at hotmail.com
I would put:
i never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me mommy
Connor & Paige
I have loved reading what everyone else would put! How beautiful! I would put a favorite verse, Matthew 5:14-16 (with some. edited for space)
Ye are the light of the world. ... Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
This is beautiful!
I would put:
"First, fill your mind with truth; second, fill your life with service; and third, fill your heart with love."
--Thomas S. Monson
It took me awhile to find exactly what I would want to put on this bracelet. I finally decided upon this lovely daily reminder.
Well, whoopity doo...would I ever love to be a winner. Your stuff just keep getting better. I triple heart love this bracelet! And it would make a great 40th birthday present to myself. :)
Let's see...It would be a toss up for me...my daily reminder: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13"
OR my favorite saying with my kiddos...in which I would put thier names and then the saying "I love you to the moon...and back again! Forever and ever and always!"
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed! :)
Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.
I'd defiantly have a line from the song "rain" along with the date that I lost my son and his name.
It would be perfect.
If I won, I would love for mine to read " And It all happend While You Were Sleeping". That is the movie my husband took me to on our first date and 3 months later proposed to me in!!! (So that movie has special meaning) Its been almost 15 yrs of marriage and this would be an amazing anniviersary gift!! Oooh, I hope I win!!
of course! just beutiful...i'd put a bible verse on there
perfect.
Totally torn...I love this...
The everlasting God, the Lord, The creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary. and the young men shall utterly fall.
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up on wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31
of course it could be shortened to fit on the bracelet...
Gina
Oh, I love this bracelet! It is fabulous! I would love to add a quote about motherhood and give this bracelet to my momma.
Yes, please!
i would have to choose between several of my favorite scriptures...either romans 8: 38,39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
or Isaiah 41:10:
I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.
or one of my favorite quotes.
This is a beautiful piece of jewelry. What would I get put on it? So many possibilities. Maybe a quote from Pearl Jam? Maybe a scripture? Maybe a couple lines from Amazing Grace? Maybe part of an ee cummings poem? There are so many possibilities for specialness and so many blessings I could honor.
I actually love the one you are showing here! I'm a big fan of Eleanor.
But a couple other favorites are:
Have a heart that never hardens,
a temper that never tires,
a touch that never hurts.
― Charles Dickens
If you can't see God in all,
you can't see God at all.
— Yogi Bhajan
And certainly an all-time favorite & something I strongly endorse:
“
Love does not consist
of gazing at each other,
but in looking together
in the same direction.
”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
thanks for inspiring!
sunni.sheets@sckans.edu
Wow. My heart is heavy. I've been sitting at this computer screen for more than an hour. I finally decided to go through some of my favorite blogs to get my mind off things. Yours was the first one I came to. I am SO glad I did. This post is exactly what I needed. Whether I win the bracelet or not. I am So glad I came here. You see, your beautiful bracelet is truly amazing and suddenly so inspirational to me. As soon as I saw it, I remembered a quote that my son had submitted for his high school year book last year. I immediately went searching for it. Now I have it again. And my heart suddenly doesn't feel so heavy anymore. I know what direction I need to take now. I am at ease.
I know what I would put on that bracelet for sure. I need to have it close by always as a reminder.
""Evil triumphs, when good men do nothing."
by Edmund Burke
Adorable! If I win, I may use that exact quote. I love it! But I would definitely have to give it some thought...
"Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning... Satan shudders and says: "OH SHIT, SHE'S AWAKE!"
This quote form Maxine at first makes me laugh, then smile, then THINK.
i would put "love you way way big up to the sky" and my daughter's full name. the love you way way big up to the sky is something my parents used to say to me and something i say to her. :)
Oh fabulous! I would put this quote on it:
Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.
The love of my life is going to be gone for 22 more months. :)
My favorite quote...
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin to Pooh."
~A. A. Milne
I only enter giveaways I truly would love to win and I TRULY would LOOOOVE to win this
Such a beautiful piece!
There are several quotes I would pick for myself but I would love to give this as a gift. A dear friend has had a rough year and her birthday is right around the corner.
The quote I would choose for her is:
“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” – Christian D. Larson
I know this quote and hand stamped bracelet would touch her heart and remind her that she is strong and there are better days ahead!
I have 9 kids and can't ever fit all of their names on all the cool mommy jewelry you make. Wven if the the names do fit, I can't afford it so I should probably pick their names. But...considering what has just happened in CA with prop 8 and equality for all those who are in love and want to share their lives together, I think I'd pick the lyrics from the Jason Mraz song, Lucky. "Lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky we're in love in every way. Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed."
Live, laugh, love - says it all
Carmen
I'd put some of the lyrics from the some "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. omydarlingblog(at)gmail(dot)com
I love this bracelet! I would definitely have to go with... "Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver and gold." -Bob Marley
Those we hold in our arms for just a little while, we hold in our hearts forever ~
It would be a hard choice - and after reading through all the great posts, I would hate to be in your shoes (= You are so talented and it is so kind of you to share with the world!
I love the ER quote, and that would be a great one, too!
We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.
~Mother Teresa
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
~ e. e. cummings
fantastic.. if i was given a chance to win this bracelet i would like this to be engraved on it:
Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want to say can find no voice.
Then, in silence,
I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart.
hugs and kisses
rhaindropz
LOVE the original! I would absolutely love to wear that or
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage"
~Lao Tzu
Regardless..this bracelet is going on my Christmas list!!
I think I would get this for my Sister-in-Law who is (surprise!) expecting her first child. She is embracing the complete surprise and unpreparedness she was for this so well and identifies with this passage:
For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I think she would love it! :-)
Love it! I don't know what I would put on it right this moment, but I'm sure I could find something!! I love love love inspirational messages!
I would love to win one! I would put my favorite quote and a quote my mom has told me since I was little:
Go confidently in the directions of your dream, live the life you've imagined.
I would really, really, really love to win!
what a beautiful bracelet!! gosh, I don't know exactly what I'd put on there - but I know it would be something biblical - a good and faithful daily reminder.
I love love love quotes and it would be so hard for me to pick one. What's so crazy is that one of my favorite quotes is the one shown on that bracelet!
Ummm, yes please! What a gorgeour bracelet! I would put this this part of a quote from Helen Keller on it:
I am only one,
but still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
but still I can do something
I would put some sort of inspirational quote on it. Maybe something like:
Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.
I think I'd use, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
-Mohandas Gandhi
It would be a good reminder for myself.
I absolutely love this bracelet! If I won I would put a verse from David Gray's "This Year's Love":
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This is the song I walked down the aisle to 3 years ago August 11 :)
Thank you for the chance to win!
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. (Henry David Thoreau)
I live by this quote!!
This is gorgeous! I love chunky jewelry! It's hard to come up with just 1 verse or thought to put on the bracelet...my mind is racing through many events & obstacles in our lives where God was so faithful - He never let us down, always met our needs, wiped our tears & blessed us with a beautiful little girl that we adopted when she was just weeks old. I learned so much through that waiting room (11 years) experience...but the most important thing I learned & still remember is found in
Mark 12:30 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength.
Not just in the easy times, but at ALL times.
I'd love to enter too. I think I'd put up "My homeschool Goals"
1. To learn how to learn.
2. To love God and serve Him.
3. To have a joyful heart.
Simple goals I know, but I'm a simple girl :-)
Blessings,
Marcia

This is lovely.
Hebrews 2:13 I will put my trust in him.
Thanks for your beautiful jewelry!
I think I would get it for my mom with all of her grandkids names on it. Maybe even leave room for more names to be added later.
I would give the bracelet to my sister for her 40th birthday next month engraved with Jeremiah 29:11.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
If things workout in my favor she will get a beautiful bracelet to match the necklace I am planning to get her.
I would love to give this bracelet to my sister for her 40th birthday next month inscribed with Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
If things work out she will receive this beautiful bracelet in addition to the necklace I'm picking out for her.
I am a huge Gilmore Girls fan, so I'd love any number of quotes from that show, but for sure either
Rory: I need a favor.
Lorelei: Let me get out my list....I'll write it under the one that says "gave me life".
or any number of others, I got so distracted reading them I almost forgot why I was looking at them! Ha!
This is probably too long, but I LOVE this:
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
~ Kahlil Gibran
Such a beautiful perspective on parenting! Could it be condensed somehow?
I am leaning toward Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Some days really are better than others, and a reminder of WHO is in charge and has made the day for His glory can have such a profound effect on one's attitude. ;)
Thank you!
So clever. There are so many great things to say. Here are my two:
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
"I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree." Ogden Nash
Thank you!
My husband is battling stage iv cancer. In reality I would likely pick one of the other inspiration quotes I've gathered that have already been mentioned, but I do love this one...
Sometimes life's Hell. But hey! Whatever gets the marshmallows toasty. ~J. Andrew Helt
i carry your heart with me i carry it in my heart. i carry your heart i carry it in my heart e.e. cummings
oh i love this so much!! i would probably put one of my favorite quotations "The past is behind us, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it."
-President Thomas S Monson-
i have to say...it's been a horrific summer for my family. We lost 4 family members in 4 months... one of which was my 5-yr old(one of twins)nephew. So if i won, i would do something to honor my lil' Andrew... either his name with the nickname i gave him (Lil' Old Man Turtle-OMT), or perhaps his name & the scripture I read at his funeral- Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit, or his name and "may he carry us on his wings" with a heart - as that's our thing. Something to just see and "be" with Andrew in spirit. Seeing your heart charm attached to the bracelet made my heart skip a beat... We feel he's been leaving "hearts" in odd places for us and here was another one! So even if i don't win - i still got a little gift through your bracelet. :)

Mine would simply say, "Love makes a family" or "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu" along with the names of my husband and kids.
Beautiful bracelet!
Oh crud! I hit a button and it cleared my screen. Did you get my comment?
live. laugh. love. listen. learn.
which actually symbolise my five children X
Oh my gosh! This bracelet is beautiful!
I would love to win this! My choice for this would be to have Isaiah 40:31 stamped. "But they that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings as eagle. Run and not grow weary. Walk and not be faint."
This verse has so much power in my life. It has helped me overcome my parents divorce when I was 12, life struggles in my teens and early 20's. In the past 5 years it has given me strength to go through 3 years of infertility, and 3 miscarriages. Without my faith I am nothing. I don't know how I would have been able to overcome the obstacles in my life if it wasn't for the Word of God. I would love this bracelet to be a piece of jewlery that becomes and heirloom. Something that I pass down to my daughter in hopes that this same verse helps her through life.
Thank you for your giveaways! You can put a smile on my face so fast when I open your blog and see GIVEAWAY! Whoo-Hoo!!
I love the following quote, although maybe too long?
“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving
Beautiful bracelet!!
I love Pablo Neruda so I would pick this quote...
"To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life."
— Pablo Neruda
snaugle81@gmail.com
So cute!! Mine would be "Happiness is not about what happens on the outside, but what happens on the inside."
or.. "Joy is an inside job."
I think the world focuses so much on appearances and things going on around us, we forgot whats going on inside us. And that the important stuff!
What would you attempt if you knew you wouldn't fail?!
Thanks for the chance to win one of your awesome pieces!!
Jill
I think I would put:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
or another Bible verse!!
LOVE it! I would either do this one with my baby boys name..
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone
OR
A mother understands what a child does not say.
or
You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back. ~William D. Tammeus
Ill have to pick! :)Thanks!
I love the bracelet and I love this quote: “Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.”
love this bracelet.
"For I will restore health unto you and heal you of your wounds." Said the Lord. Jeremiah 30:17
my daughter was just diagnosed with rett syndrome and we are praying for a cure!
I would modify one of the quotes that was read at my wedding {from the movie "Forces of Nature":
Marriage has less beauty but more safety than the single life. It's full of sorrows and full of joys. It lies under more burdens but it is supported by all the strengths of love and those burdens are delightful. In the end, all you can do is committ to the people you love, hope for good luck, and some good weather.
Oh boy can I add one!
“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.” Winnie the Pooh
Beautiful! This is one of my favorite quotes.... but I think I'd request an Indigo Girls quote "When God made me born a Yankee he was teasing".
What a cool bracelet! I am really loving a song right now by Chris Tomlin, "Our God." So I would put a few words from the song, "And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us, and if our God is with us, then who could stand against..."
It is just an encouraging song!
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beuty of their dreams." Elleanor Roosevelt
Have a great day! La
I love the bracelet and I love this quote: “Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.”
Thanks for this inspiring giveaway!
One of my favorite quotes (which I may or may not want on a bracelet): "If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice." -Salma Hayek
Beautiful!
I'd have to put my favorite scripture on it.
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2
I would engrave the lyrics to 'Let it Be' by the Beatles on it!
So pretty!
This just beautiful. I think that I would have to put
"Ebenezer
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home"
I need to be reminded that the Lord is my Rock of Help.
I would probably put a Bible verse on there...just not sure which one.
Oh, I would love this piece as a daily reminder of how awesome being a Mommy is. I might put the follow quote:
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh
But I really love the quote you've already put on!
For me the quote would be:
"I would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special" Steel Magnolias
For my sweet mom:
"In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live." Bridges of Madison County
My mom and dad traveled alot after I got in college and they took pictures at many covered bridges on their adventures. They both loved this book and movie, sadly we lost my dad 12 years ago. They completed each other, I have never seen two people love each other as much as they did.
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
-William Ernest Henley
kjovus(at)gmail(dot)com
I would get one of my favorite verses...
He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
~Isaiah 40:11
Love this!! (I first saw your new twitter avatar ... which prompted me to come see this new loveliness!)
Well, it's not much of a surprise to the people who know me that I am quite a fan of Ronald Reagan. (one of the absolute, best presidents... I might add!) So... I'm thinking one of his quotes would be fabulous!
or!!
My favorite Bible verse:
Matthew 6:34
Great piece, Erin!! I loved reading through these inspiring quotes in the Comments section. I think I'd put, simply:
"Keep Calm and Carry On"
or perhaps my children's names.
Thanks for your giving spirit!
Beautiful! I would put...
“An excellent wife who can
find? She is far more
precious than jewels.”
Proverbs 31:10
My sister's husband is leaving soon to serve our country in Afganistan. I'd like to find out her favorite quote about being strong and present it to her to show my support.
I really love the Gone with the wind quote:
after all tomorrow is another day
I am not sure what I would have it say.
"Be Still" ?...that reminds be to take life a little slower and it reminds my kids to quiet down! :)
...but it's a big space so something long would be better....probably
I'd put
"How can we know the dancer from the dance?" ~William Butler Yates
Don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble and fall, because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most.
I would probably put my Husband's name and my kid's names along with Peace, Hope & Love. These people are my world, so I would love to show how much I love them!
**I apologize if this is my second comment - - I don't see my original one that I put up last night and I R-E-A-L-L-Y want to win this!!!!
PICK ME!!!! I have the PERFECT little poem - it will fit and it's my favorite poem these days as it reminds me of the gift of motherhood. Plus it has the word PEARL in it - - you gotta love it for that!
You are the trip I did not take.
You are the pearls I cannot buy.
You are my blue Italian lake.
You are my piece of foriegn sky.
[Anne campbell]
SEE? Isn't it awesome?! I'm not even a big bracelet wearer, but I'd rock that bracelet everyday!!! It's perfect!!!
I would do these few lines from our wedding song. Sometimes we both get so caught up in the past and how things were, we need a reminder to worry about right now.
Some hang on to used to be -
live their lives, looking behind -
all we have is here and now...
Erin -
Good afternoon. I would put the following quote on the bracelet because there are no truer words:
"When a woman feels her best, when a woman reaches her full potential, everyone around her profits." - Malaak Compton-Rock
I would probably put a verse about God setting the lonely in families as a reminder to pray for the orphans out there as we wait for our turn to bring our child home.
I think I would choose:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
...and if this wouldn't fit, I'd ask for it to read:
"...And may we be ever mindful of the needs of others."
The latter is what my dear (late) paternal Grandfather would say at the end of family prayers. A sweet reminder and a great way to honor a dear, sorely missed man.
Thanks for the chance to win such a unique piece! I <3 (heart) everything I see on your website, Erin. Congrats on the move/store!
I'm not sure what I'd put on mine, but I'm stalking these comments for good ideas! ;)
I would probably have this verse put on -
Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Stunning, mine would be a reminder of how much joy my daughter brings me:
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of your beautiful pieces!!
My mother very recently passed away and she told me this a few years ago...."Why compare yourself to others?? No one in the world can do a better job of being you than you do" I'm sorry I do not know who wrote this.
Thanks again
~Sharon~
Oh my gosh, I *love* this. One of my dearest friends turns 40 in a couple of months, and I think this would be the perfect thing to give her. I think I'd engrave a perfect quote for the occasion, by Ruth Bell Graham: "Make the least of all that goes and the most of all that comes."
This bracelet is lovely. I would be so happy to give it to my dear older sister... and with the inscription " not just sisters, but friends... love always Marolyn from Lois
If I won this bracelet I would give it to someone I know that was pregnant with their first child and who lost the child while it was still in the womb (only a couple of months ago). I would get the scripture "...a little child shall lead them" on the bracelet (this is the scripture they put on his gravestone), and then underneath perhaps the baby's name and birth date. I know this bracelet would mean so, so, so much to the mother! I really hope that I can win this for her!
I'm thinking it would be a good present for my mother in law.... put all the grandkids names on it for her. She loves jewelery and I've gotta suck up somehow!
This bracelet is so beautiful!
I would put this on it if it were mine:
Henceforth, there will be such a oneness between us-that when one weeps the other will taste salt.

Just may be too much...but this is my fave! Great bracelet!
Love is when you miss him even before he's gone,
When you could listen to him talk all night
And never get tired of hearing his voice,
...When the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,
And when you see his smile the second you close your eyes!
I love love love this bracelet!!! I would put exactly what you have on it! That is my all time favorite quote now! I am turning 20 this month and have been through some HOT water, thats for sure. I would LOVE for this to be my birthday present for myself.
THANKS FOR THE CHANCE! :)

Right now we are going through a little stress from buying our first house. I was just telling my husband last night I had seen a bookmark that said, Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake. I love it and have decided as we buy this house and go through the process of replacing stuff and remodeling, that this was going to be my motto. This is what I put on my bracelet.
Awesome! I would love to put one of my favorite phrases on there:
I have come to give you life abundant.
--Jesus
I would put on something about fighting breast cancer for my three kids and then list their names.
mframe00@yahoo.com
I love this bracelet! Thank you for the chance to win! Mine would say:
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
2 Cor. 12:9
I would love it as is...as soon as I saw it I thought of my sister-in-law; for two reasons 1) she adores tea and 2) she is an amazing role model. She has had a lot of hot water in her life and has proven her strength repeatedly. It would make a great gift for her. :)
LOVE it!! I would put - Romans 5:3-5.. well, part of it since it wouldn't all fit:
"There is more to come. We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping is alert for whatever God will do next. Quite the contrary - we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit."
your work is beautiful!! the fun you must have coming up with these wonderful pieces of jewerly. I would proably put the names of my kids, or my last name. Please pick me.
Here is my email address

Oh my goodness...just when I thought your stuff couldn't get any cuter!! I think I'd write this quote from A.A. Milne:
You’re braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
I'd need that reminder.
Love. Love. LOVE this bracelet. I have been searching everywhere for a piece that will hold my favorite quote -- At first glance I loved you with a thousand hearts. This quote describes the love I have for my husband and my son! Great bracelet!!!
Beautiful! Two of my favorite things bracelets and quotes. What a perfect combination! One of my favorites is: "Sometimes on the way to a dream you get lost and find a better one."
"She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside. He could see the answer shining in here eyes."
Once of my favorite lyrics from the song my husband and I have called ours since we started dating in high school.
:-)
charlottedotaufdenbergatyahoodotcom
Yay! I love this!
I would put the anonymous quote,
"In the end, it will all be okay. If its not okay, then it is not the end."

ang4332@hotmail.com
wow! so many great quotes and bible verses have been written! I'd probably put the one about "it's not about the car I drove, the house I lived in, or the money I had, but that I made the difference in the life of a child" or simply "faith like a mustard seed". Of course I love the Live, Laugh, Love and then my children's names and/or me and my husbands anniversary date---since I've been known to forget it many times!!!
I am loving
Who fed me from her gentle breast
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.
~Ann Taylor
and
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." ~ James Dean
love this bracelet!
"for I will restore health unto you and heal you of your wounds." said the Lord. jeremiah 30:17
this verse has new meaning...
my daughter anna was recently diagnosed with rett syndrome. praying that God will heal anna and all the amazing girls who are suffering.
I'd love to see the names of my faimily members and their favorite cities in the world because they have such great memories for us!
I would put Prov. 3:5-6 on it...this reference was on the inside of my wedding ring (which I lost a few years ago).
The first thing I thought was the Scripture in Deuteronomy 6:7, referring to mothers/fathers' responsibility to raise their children in the Word; "Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
I love your work! I hope I win!!!

I would write
"Some People Only Dream of Angels. I held one in my Arms"

My Angel would be 11 in a couple weeks and I miss her more than words. This would be a terrific way to remember her.
So beautiful! I love how you use your talents to put in words and designs what I want to express from my heart.
I would put Psalm 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy.
So beautiful! I love how you use your talents to put in words and designs what I want to express from my heart.
I would put Psalm 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy.
So beautiful! I love how you use your talents to put in words and designs what I want to express from my heart.
I would put Psalm 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy.
I would put this:
I knew I loved you before you were here. I never knew I needed you this much. And now I never want to let you go.
...this pertains to my husband and me as well as to me and my kids! I love this bracelet!!
Erin, I LOVE, love, love this!!! And I definitely know what I would put on it if I won. . . Phil 1:6 "He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it."
Thanks for the giveaway offer :]
love that quote and love this giveaway. would love this quote or a part of the proverbs 31 woman.
What a wonderful idea for a giveaway! I've enjoyed reading all the comments - very inspirational. But my daughter's birthday is coming up in September and she's coming to visit me from across the country (on her birthday) so I'd put: "Happy 33rd Birthday, Amber! Love, Mom"
I would like to put part of 1 Corinthians 13, to remind me of what love is meant to be, on it but it is probably too long! So I would probably put this verse (which I love) Micah 6:8:"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
Let it be. The Beatles
or
Keep Calm and Carry On.
Wow, would I be excited if I won this! Thanks for the offering.
It would be hard to choose. I love this quote:
We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting laundry. e.b.white
But what makes me smile the most is when my middle guy Judah said this about me:
Mom, I love you. You smell like dogs, cats, and babies. Judah, age 3
Love the new bracelet!
Love this new piece...so hard to know what words would be just right.
Perhaps...love conquereth all.

Thanks for the giveaway!
''I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.'' Ogden Nash
A truly lovely bracelet for either scriptures or quotes. My favorite life-quote other than scripture is:
Every experience God gives us, Every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.
-Corrie Ten Boom
Be who you are, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
-- Dr. Seuss
What an AMAZING bracelet. If I was chosen, I would put one of my favorite quotes on it:
You should never lie, cheat, steal or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must steal, steal out of bad company and if you must drink......drink in the moments!!
I would wear it as safe keeping for my 5 year old daughter and on it would say:
"It is not my face, my eyes, my mouth or my hair that makes me beautiful.
It is my heart and my words." By My Mummy
Thank you! xo
What a beautiful bracelet!
I think I would inscribe it with some of the names of the fallen soldiers from our local area who have lost their lives over the last couple of years fighting for us to remind me of something deeper than just day to day things.
It would also be a constant reminder for my children.
I had the priviledge of meeting parents of a fallen soldier and the words thank you and what an awesome sacrifice are just never enough.
