Gifts for her: engraved bracelets that speak of her
A gift for a woman rarely fails for lack of taste: it fails because it could have been given to anyone. What makes an original gift for a woman is what is engraved on it. Two initials framing a symbol are more often her children’s than a couple’s. A date on the bead is as much a birth as a wedding. A star sign asks for nothing but her birthday. And for a new mother, the birth bracelet carries the baby’s name and date between two little feet: it is given to her, not to the baby. Allow €23.90 for an engraved bracelet. Check the date: Mothering Sunday here falls nowhere near Mother’s Day in France, Germany or Spain. And for a woman who has lost someone, a bracelet of remembrance: a feather, a nickname, two years.

Star Sign Bracelet – Engraved Wood, Birthday Gift
All you need is when she was born. The sign is engraved as a symbol without its name: discreet under a sleeve, obvious to anyone who reads the twelve glyphs — and there is nothing to ask her.

Two Initials and a Symbol Bracelet – Heart or Infinity Engraved
Three marks on one line: an initial, a symbol, an initial. Sold as a couple’s bracelet, it is very often ordered with two children’s initials — which is where it really belongs.

Initials and Date Bracelet – Wedding Anniversary Gift
Sold as a lovers’ bracelet, it becomes something else the moment you engrave the date of a birth and a child’s initials on it. Of our couple bracelets, it is the only one that engraves a day of the calendar.
€23.90

€23.90

Feather Memorial Bracelet – Name & Dates
For a woman who has lost someone: a feather across the bead, a first name or a nickname — Nana, Dad — and two years. The bracelet you give when you do not know what to say, and that is worn without anyone noticing.
€23.90

New Baby Bracelet – Name, Date & Little Feet
Seventeen babygros in the nursery and nothing for her: the baby’s first name and date of birth, engraved between two little feet, is the gift you give the mother rather than the newborn.

Frequently asked questions
What do you engrave for a birth rather than for a wedding?
The initials and date bracelet takes either; the birth bracelet settles it: the child’s first name and date of birth between two little feet, and nobody will mistake it for a couple’s piece. It is given to the mother in the weeks that follow, once the gifts for the baby have already filled the nursery.
What do you give on Mothering Sunday if she does not want her own name on a bracelet?
The initials and symbol bracelet engraves her children’s initials, not hers: it speaks of her without naming her. The star sign bracelet engraves a single glyph, legible only to those who know the signs. Both are worn every day without announcing anything to anyone.
When does Mother’s Day fall from one country to another?
In Ireland, Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Lent, in March — it moves with Easter. In Germany it is the second Sunday in May, in Spain the first Sunday in May, and in France the last Sunday in May. Ordering to the Irish date for a French mother means arriving two months early.
Can you give to a mother and a daughter without giving the same thing twice?
The puzzle bracelet is made for that: two pieces that only complete each other, each in its own size and cord colour. It is not a lovers’ bracelet — nothing about it is romantic, it is a tie, and it reads as one.
