Nicole Straw Designs (Custom Charm Bracelets)

A few months ago one of my followers contacted me stating that she'd recent started a Jewelry-based Etsy shop and offered to send me a custom made charm bracelet. She'd even offered make me one based on a favorite theme like "Zelda" (next time baby) or something else if I wanted. I looked at her designs, thought about it and decided I would be absolutely interested in a mermaid themed bracelet.

There were many other themes that would have been tempting... For instance:

This hilariously awesome Supernatural themed bracelet (complete with a shovel and a piece of pie)! I love the deep crimson colored pearls used in this one.

This perfectly detailed Harry Potter bracelet. The set of keys are delightful touch. 

This  Walking Dead bracelet that looks so formidable that maybe it could survive the zombie apocalypse?? Seriously. Weapons galore = awesome. 

Any one of these would have been both memorable and entertaining to wear. At the time I requested my mermaid bracelet, only one of these was available and I had already been itching for mermaid themed jewelry. I told Nicole all the types of charms and details I'd like and that I prefer color schemes that include a lot of teals and purples (I told her this not because I'm crazy bossy, but because she was genuinely interested in making a bracelet that was what I wanted) and wow did she deliver! 

Below are a few of her photos before she sent it to me. 

This curved mermaid is actually part of the clasp! 

This loaded bracelet includes the following:

Sea Urchin, sea opal, and a whole lotta Mother of Pearl. 

A ton of charms including mermaids (obviously), an anchor, a ships steering wheel, an antique-y coin, a starfish, a crab, and multiple metallic-detailed sea shells. 

(Why YES. That is a totally whimsical message in a bottle on my charm bracelet)

Here's one of the many teal outfits I'd wear it with. Yes. I got so excited when it arrived that I painted my nails to match it. (Please ignore my grease-ball hair. Moving was just a big, bad hair day since I couldn't find my dry shampoo for 2 weeks!)

Well, I'm pleased to have shared this special piece of custom jewelry with you all! Especially since I couldn't stop fawning all over this bracelet from the moment it arrived.  I've linked Nicole's info below in the hopes that you will check out her Etsy Shop and Facebook page.  She's got a great eye for creative combinations that fit a theme and I look forward to seeing more pieces from Nicole in the Future!
