Native American artisans have long constructed both Treasure Necklaces and Bracelets, usually consisting of a random assortment of beads and stones with other items, such as fetishes, woven into the design. As one craftsman said to me, “It’s how I get rid of my leftover stuff.” We fell in love with the concept on a trip to the Four Corners area in 2006. After much experimentation, our present Treasure Bracelet concept came into being. Our delightful bracelets are made on multiple loops, either three or five, of memory wire. They consist of random colorful beads, semi-precious stone chips, shells, pearls, and fetishes interspersed with “danglies” and charms that hang from the bracelet. Each bracelet is different and every bead on each bracelet is different. Every one of our Treasure Bracelets is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art. What makes our bracelets so incredibly cool is that with our vast selection of pewter charms, we can personalize the bracelet to make it the perfect match for the wearer. Like cats? We have several different cat charms, along with many other animals. Want a gift for your hairdresser? How about blowdryer and hairbrush charms. We have charms for sports, hobbies, musical instruments, occupations, travel, political, religious, new-age, peace, cars…you name it. |

We sell our Treasure Bracelets to people from three to 103. We don’t recommend them for children who still put things in their mouths. Other than that, all you need to wear a Treasure Bracelet is a love of color and a sense of humor and whimsy. |

You can order a custom-made Treasure Bracelet with either three loops or five loops of memory wire in either the regular diameter or a wider diameter wire. Regular bracelets are approx. 2 inches in diameter; wide bracelets 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Memory wire is very adjustable and adaptable. If you like to wear things snug, or are buying for a child or teenager, you will probably want the regular diameter. If you like it to fit more like a bangle, or if you have a wider wrist, or you plan to wear it around your ankle or a boot, you will most likely want the wider diameter. If you find you’ve ordered the wrong size, we will gladly exchange it. |

Right now, the best way to get your very own Treasure Bracelet is to visit us at one of the many craft shows we attend in central Pennsylvania, near where we live. (click here for our 2009 Craft Show schedule) If that’s not possible, send us an e-mail at liz@treasurebracelets.com or call us at 717.533.1188 and we’ll help you pick out the perfect charms for your Treasure Bracelet. Eventually, we hope to open an internet store, but when you have a one-of-a-kind item like we do, we prefer to deal directly with you. |
