A tape measure wrapped around a wrist

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.

Natural kraft box tied with string

Every bracelet ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic.

Best for

  • Nothing to personalise: one colour, one size, and it is ordered. The gift you can give without asking anyone anything.
  • A plain Latin cross, with no figure and no ornament: it is worn daily without announcing itself.
  • Five sizes, 11 to 24 cm around the wrist: the same bracelet suits a child and an adult.

Good to know before ordering

  • The engraving is fixed: no name, no date, no choice of symbol. For a personalised ceremony gift carrying the child’s name, the christening bracelet is the one.
  • The cross measures about 6 by 8 millimetres: it reads close up, not across a room.

Wearing and care

This is the bracelet you give without having to ask: no name to know, no date to check. That leaves the size — if in doubt, size 2 (18 to 21 cm) fits most adult wrists, and the sliding knots take up the rest.

On the darker cords — black, navy, charcoal — the cross stands out clearly against the pale wood. Brighter cords pull attention towards the colour: for a discreet piece of faith, the darker ones work better.

Frequently asked questions
What occasions is this bracelet given for?

For a christening, a communion or a confirmation, at Christmas or at Easter, and sometimes simply to stand by someone going through a hard time. As there is nothing to personalise, it is also given with no occasion and no warning.

Is there anything to personalise on this bracelet?

No. The cross is engraved in advance and is the same on every one: it is part of the product. The only choices are the cord colour, out of ten, and the size, out of five.

Which cross is engraved?

A plain Latin cross with bare arms, about 6 millimetres wide and 8 high, centred on the bead. No figure, no ornament, no inscription: the simplest and most universal form.

Does the bracelet come in a child’s size?

Yes, two: J1 for 11 to 13 cm around the wrist, J2 for 14 to 16 cm. With the three adult sizes, the range covers 11 to 24 cm, so the same bracelet can be given to a child and to their godparent.

What is the difference with the christening bracelet?

This one has nothing to fill in and is worn every day. The christening bracelet is chosen for a ceremony: it carries two beads, the child’s first name on one and a chosen symbol on the other, the cross among them.

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.

A sign of faith worn every day

A plain Latin cross, bare arms, engraved in the centre of a wooden bead. No figure, no inscription: the simplest form there is, on a marine cord that does not mind water.

There is nothing to fill in. You order it by choosing a colour and a size, without asking anyone anything — for a christening, a first communion, a confirmation, or to stand by someone through a hard time. The children’s sizes let you give the same bracelet to a godchild and their godfather.

Laser-engraved on cherry wood, 4 mm marine cord with sliding knots. Handmade in Aveyron, France.
