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

It depends on no date and no relationship: the model you buy for yourself without having to explain why.
Two kinds of lettering for the same word, and the choice changes everything: the script softens, the capitals assert.
The symbol above can be chosen or dropped: without it the word stands alone on the wood, quieter still.

Good to know before ordering

One word, ten letters at most: no sentence, no motto, no two words separated by a space.
In capitals the word is engraved smaller than in handwriting for the same number of letters, because the spacing takes room.

Wearing and care

Handwriting suits short, rounded words — Brave, Dare, Grow — whose loops read well. Capitals hold long words and runs of consonants better, which the script blurs at this size.

The preview above the fields shows the word in the lettering you picked: switch between the two before confirming, as the result differs from one word to another.

Frequently asked questions

What occasion is this bracelet given for?

Often none at all: it is the bracelet people buy for themselves. It is also given for a fresh start, an achievement, or to someone going through a hard time whose word you know.

Which lettering suits which word?

Handwriting for short, rounded words, capitals for long ones or words heavy with consonants. For the same number of letters, capitals are engraved smaller because the spacing between letters takes room.

Which symbols can sit above the word?

A star, a wave, a mountain, a heart, or none. “None” is a choice like the others: the word then stands alone on the bead, with the small flourish beneath it.

Can two words, or a short sentence, be engraved?

No, the field takes one word of ten letters at most, with no space. A sentence engraved across fifteen millimetres would turn into a continuous line once burnt: the model is made for one word, and for one only.

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.
