My customer wanted a special gift for a very special friend, and loved the idea of something customised especially for her. She wanted a personalised bracelet and loved the colours in the khaki XO Acapulco cuff because she said they would go with almost anything, from t-shirts to a dress. And to match the bracelet she asked for a pair of personalised earrings, with the initial A.To get more news about Custom name bracelet, you can visit koalaprint.com official website.

So I got busy!

First I had to order the super cute 24 carat gold plated initial charms. I am definitely going to order some teeny S for myself soon too!

Then I had to do the maths! Because the XO Acapulco cuff is so geometric I needed to work out the patterns exactly to the bead. And then design the font, fit the name in, decide the colours (this was quite fiddly too!)…you get the picture!

Then the beading began! I used rounded seed beads for the name ANOUD so that is slightly raised and stands out from the bracelet. The gold beads are electroplated 24 carat gold - ooh la la.

Fitted with the same khaki coloured teeny seed beads, the ‘A’ earrings will look wonderful over summer with a golden glow.
Bracelet is shipped from Turkey so be prepared for the shipping time. Mine arrived relatively quickly so no problem there. BUT THEN... I ordered a 7 inch bracelet - assuming that any adjustment will be made of that total length. This was not the case, it has 7 inch solid chain and the 2 inch adjustment part (with larger loops) on top of it. So bracelet was too large and when I requested a return, seller declined it based on false reason (return period expired). Bracelet is made of silver plated material and the chain is extremely thin - so it can not be adjusted. $45 WASTED - HAPPY VALENTINE'S!
