How to measure your wrist
Wrap a tape measure or a piece of string around your wrist, just below the bone, then read the measurement in centimetres.
Delivered ready to give
Every bracelet ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic.
Best for
- One model covers Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, grandparents and pregnancy announcements: the word changes, the bracelet does not.
- Up to five children’s initials: enough to hold a whole set of siblings on one bead.
- The gift reads without explanation, even to someone who does not know the children — the word already says it.
Good to know before ordering
- The eight words are engraved in French, exactly as shown: they are the words themselves and not labels, and they are not translated.
- Five initials at most, one letter each: full first names are not engraved.
Wearing and care
The initials are engraved in the order you type them. That is almost always the order of the births, and it is the first thing people notice when it is not — check it before confirming.
With five initials the row is engraved smaller to fit across the bead. If one child has a double first name, engrave a single letter: the second would take a sibling’s place.

Frequently asked questions
What occasion is this bracelet given for?
For Father’s Day or Mother’s Day, a pregnancy announcement, a grandparent’s birthday. It is the gift children give, or that a partner gives on the children’s behalf — the engraved word says which.
Which words can be engraved at the centre?
Eight to choose from: PAPA, MAMAN, PAPI, MAMIE, PARRAIN, MARRAINE, TONTON or TATA. You pick with buttons, and the word is engraved exactly as written here, in capitals.
Are those words translated into the recipient’s language?
No. They are the words that will be burnt into the wood, not interface labels: a bracelet ordered from Britain will carry PAPI, not GRANDAD. That is the thing to know before ordering for a grandparent who speaks no French.
How many children’s initials can be engraved, and in what order?
From one to five, one letter per child, separated by a middle dot that we add. They are engraved in the exact order you enter them, from the first character typed to the last.
How do I choose my size?
Measure your wrist with a soft tape or a piece of string, just below the bone. Size 1 covers 15 to 18 cm, size 2 covers 18 to 21 cm, size 3 covers 21 to 24 cm; two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models. Each bracelet is then adjusted by pulling on the cords: the size gives a comfort range, not a fixed measurement.
Is the bracelet water-resistant?
The braided marine cord handles water without trouble. Cherry wood is a living material: avoid long baths, swimming pools and saunas, and dry it if it gets caught in the rain. It develops a patina over time, which is normal.
How do I care for the wood?
A drop of jojoba oil, or any neutral vegetable oil, on a soft cloth whenever the wood looks dry or dull: it feeds the wood and revives its colour. Nothing else is needed.
How long does it take to make and ship?
Every bracelet is engraved to order in our workshop in Aveyron, France, then shipped within 48 h, to your door or to a pickup point. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
Does it arrive ready to give?
Yes. It ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic: it can be given as it is, with no extra wrapping.
Is it suitable for men and women?
Yes, it is unisex. Sizes 1 to 3 cover wrists from 15 to 24 cm, and two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models.
Can I give it without knowing their wrist size?
Yes. Each bracelet adjusts along the whole range of its size thanks to the sliding knots, and size 2 (18 to 21 cm) fits most adult wrists. If in doubt, quietly measure a watch or a bracelet they already wear.
How far ahead should I order for a specific date?
Allow 48 h for engraving, then two to three days in transit and two days more for the crossing from France. For a fixed date — a birthday, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas — order ten days ahead to be safe.

Full description
The word, and the ones who gave it
At the centre, the word: PAPA, MAMAN, PAPI, MAMIE, PARRAIN, MARRAINE, TONTON or TATA. Below it, separated by a middle dot, the children's initials — up to five. A small heart opens the bead.
The eight words are engraved in French, as they are written here: they are the words themselves, not labels, and they are not translated. It is worth knowing before ordering.
It is a gift that needs preparing: you need to know how many initials, and in which order. They are engraved in the order you type them, which is usually the order of the births.
