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 gift about a bond that never says “love”: it works for a friendship, for siblings or for a duo as much as for a couple.
- Both initials sit on the same bracelet rather than being split in two: the object carries the whole bond.
- A long-distance gift: the two people know what the letters connect, nobody else reads it.
Good to know before ordering
- One letter per side, set in capitals: no full first name, no date.
- It is one bracelet, not a pair: to give two, order twice.
Wearing and care
The letters read left to right, as on a page. For two bracelets meant for a couple, keeping the same order on both makes them a pair; reversing it breaks it.
Initials are set in capitals as you type and as they are engraved: the summary above the button shows exactly the form that will go to the laser. The two puzzle pieces interlock at the centre of an engraved area of 15 by 10 mm.

Frequently asked questions
What occasions is this bracelet given for?
For Valentine’s Day, the anniversary of the day two people met, or someone leaving — but also between friends and between siblings. The puzzle suggests a mutual bond without saying anything romantic: that is what makes it giveable outside a couple.
Are both initials on the same bracelet, or on two?
On the same one. The two puzzle pieces are engraved side by side on a single wooden bead, each carrying one letter. So one bracelet holds both initials, not one each.
Do I need to order two bracelets for a couple?
Yes, if each of them wants one: order twice, with the same initials in the same order, and each person’s size. The colours can differ — the engraving is what makes them a pair.
Can it be given for a friendship rather than a couple?
Yes, and that is one of its most common uses. The puzzle says only that two pieces fit together: it works for a best friend, for siblings or for a working duo as well as for a couple.
Can a date be engraved alongside the two initials?
No: this bracelet engraves only the two letters, inside the puzzle pieces. For a date, the initials and date bracelet is the one — it engraves the two initials on one line and the date on a second.
Can the same letter be used twice?
Yes. Two first names starting with the same letter give two identical pieces, and many customers ask for exactly that. The engraving only checks the length: one letter per side.
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
Two pieces that only read together
Two initials, each in its own jigsaw piece, locked together in the centre of the bead. The motif says there is a bond without saying which one: that is what makes it a gift for a couple as much as for a sister, a best friend, a partner at work.
For a couple, order two, with the letters in the same order — swapping them breaks the pair. For a dating anniversary, a leaving present, a gift for your bridesmaid or best man.
Laser-engraved on cherry wood, adjustable marine cord with no clasp. Handmade in Aveyron, France.
