Birthverse Bracelets

Birthverse bracelets consist of 366 verses chosen from the 66 books of the Bible. Each verse correlates the chapter and verse with its month and day. Your birth was appointed by God and has been recorded as your birthday. Claim your verse, study it, memorize it and share it with others. But most of all, allow God to reveal Himself to you through your Birthverse.

Nursing Bracelets

Nursing Bracelets are more than a pretty piece of jewelry, they are also a reminder bracelet that tracks your breastfeeding schedule. It can remind you which breast you fed from last and the time that your baby last fed, using number beads and colored beads arranged to represent a 12-hour clock. The number beads represent hours and each colored bead indicates a 15-minute interval. A charm is moved to mark the time.

Never forget your baby's schedule again, whether you're breastfeeding-on-demand or simply making sure a sleepy baby nurses frequently enough.

1 Tracks which breast you last fed from
2 Marks the exact time your baby last fed
3 Counts the number of feeds in a day

1. Switch the bracelet from wrist to wrist to keep track of which breast you fed from last.

2. Move the charm to mark the time your baby's last feed began. This is helpful if you have a sleepy baby who doesn't wake for feeds, if you would like to establish a breastfeeding schedule, or if you're feeding-on-demand and would like to keep track of your baby's breastfeeding patterns.

3. An alternative use for the bracelet is to count the total number of feeds in a day (newborns should feed eight to twelve times per day). Place the charm after the relevant number bead.

If you would like a bracelet made using different beads (ie - a certain color or stone), please email me and I will be glad to make something special for you!!!

Genuine "Earth stone" bracelets

The following bracelets were made using genuine stone beads. Some people believe that certain stones have healing powers, the power to change your mood, or even your life. I have listed the qualities associated with the stones that these bracelets are made from. Enjoy!!
