Best for
- The gift that chooses itself: you know the date of birth, the sign follows.
- The glyph alone, with no name written out: discreet, readable by those who know, silent to everyone else.
- Twelve signs and five sizes, two of them children’s: the same bracelet suits a friend, a teenager or your mother.
Good to know before ordering
- Only the symbol is engraved — not the name of the sign, not a date. The bead carries a glyph and nothing else.
- The cut-off dates matter: someone born on 22 December is a Capricorn, not a Sagittarius. Check before you confirm.
Wearing and care
The twelve date ranges are given under the chart of signs, and they matter: births in the last days of a sign are easily got wrong. Aries runs from 21 March to 19 April, Taurus from 20 April to 20 May, and so on to Pisces, from 19 February to 20 March.
The engraved glyphs are the standard astrological symbols, the ones found in any almanac — not a house design. Scorpio and Virgo look alike from a distance: that is normal, their signs differ only by the tail.

Frequently asked questions
What occasions is this bracelet given for?
For a birthday above all, since the sign follows from the date of birth. It is also a Christmas gift, a Mother’s Day gift or a gift between friends, and sometimes a new-baby gift: the baby’s sign is engraved and given to the mother.
Is the name of the sign engraved, or only the symbol?
Only the symbol, the standard astrological glyph. The name of the sign is not engraved: that is what keeps the bracelet discreet, readable by those who know the symbols and silent to everyone else.
Which sign matches which date of birth?
Aries from 21 March to 19 April, Taurus from 20 April to 20 May, Gemini from 21 May to 20 June, Cancer from 21 June to 22 July, Leo from 23 July to 22 August, Virgo from 23 August to 22 September, Libra from 23 September to 22 October, Scorpio from 23 October to 21 November, Sagittarius from 22 November to 21 December, Capricorn from 22 December to 19 January, Aquarius from 20 January to 18 February, Pisces from 19 February to 20 March.
Are all twelve signs available?
Yes, all twelve: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each is engraved with its standard astrological glyph, to order.
Is there a child’s size?
Yes, two: J1 for 11 to 13 cm around the wrist and J2 for 14 to 16 cm. With the three adult sizes, the range covers 11 to 24 cm, which makes it a possible birthday gift at any age.
Can a first name be engraved alongside the sign?
No: the bead carries only the glyph of the sign. For an engraved first name, the christening bracelet is the one — it carries two beads, the name on one and a symbol on the other.
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 gift you choose with a single date
You know their date of birth: the sign follows, and it is its glyph that is engraved — the symbol alone, without the name, legible to those who know the signs and silent to everyone else.
It is the birthday gift you give when you do not want to get it wrong: nothing to ask, nothing to spell. Twelve signs, a plain version a man wears as easily as a friend does, and two children’s sizes. Mind the cusp dates: born on 22 December, you are a Capricorn.
Laser-engraved on cherry wood, 4 mm marine cord. Handmade in Aveyron, France.
