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
- A new-baby gift that goes to the parent rather than the newborn: they are the one wearing it, and the one being congratulated.
- The first name keeps its capitals and lower case, so it reads as a name rather than as an identity tag.
- The cord adjusts on sliding knots: it follows a wrist that changes, which matters in the months after a birth.
Good to know before ordering
- One first name, eight letters at most: no second child, and no name plus surname.
- The date is engraved exactly as you type it, within ten characters, and we do not check it.
Wearing and care
Write the first name the way it is signed: Jade, not JADE. This field keeps upper and lower case exactly as typed, because a name set all in capitals looks like a form.
For a double name, hyphen and space are accepted, but eight letters go quickly: “Marie-Lou” is nine. With two names, engrave only one — the one that will actually be used.

Frequently asked questions
What occasion is this bracelet given for?
For a birth, a first Mother’s or Father’s Day, a christening. It is given to the parent, often at the maternity ward or in the weeks that follow, when every other present goes to the baby.
Is it a bracelet for the baby or for the parents?
For the parents. The sizes offered run from a slim to a wide adult wrist: nothing here is made for an infant, and a cord with sliding knots has no place on a baby’s wrist.
Is the first name engraved in capitals?
No, it is engraved exactly as you write it: Jade stays Jade. It is the initial fields that are turned to capitals automatically, here as on the other bracelets; a first name is engraved the way it is written.
Can a double first name be engraved?
Yes, hyphen and space are accepted, within eight letters in total. Beyond that the engraving becomes too fine to stay crisp once the laser has burnt it, and the field simply will not take a ninth character.
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
For the parents, not for the baby
Two small footprints at the top, the first name in the middle, the date below. It is an adult wrist it sits on: the new mother's or the new father's, keeping that day close.
The first name keeps its case: Jade stays Jade, not JADE. Eight letters at most, hyphen and space accepted for compound names.
The sliding knots do all the adjusting, from a slim wrist to a wide one: it follows a wrist that changes, which in the months after a birth is not a detail.
