Finding the perfect gift for the girls who mean the world to you can be a challenge. Jewelry may be a go-to bridesmaids’ present, and almost any gal appreciates a new bauble, but for ladies this close, you’ll probably want to make it more personal.
At PersonaWorld.com, you can customize bracelets with an endless array of beautiful beads and unique charms. The vast array of product—sterling silver, Murano glass, Austrian crystal, hand-painted enamel, pearly shells, and semiprecious stones—means you can create a truly unique piece to suit each individual’s interests and tastes. Swirly Italian glass beads and sea-blue opals for a girl with a taste for drama; rose and gold shell pearls for your most feminine pal.
The beads and charms range in price from $15-$75, while the leather bracelets and silver chains (you can make necklaces, too) run from $45-$65. Good news for brides buying multiple items: There’s free shipping on orders over $75.
I recently spent an evening on the Persona site creating my own bracelet with silver and gold beads (I love mixing metals), centered with a Hamsa strung on a black leather braided cord (see the photo, below). The process was totally fun and amazingly simple—seriously, anyone can do it. I’m fully obsessed with how the piece turned out and love layering it with bangles and other cords. It was definitely rewarding to make one for myself; I can only imagine how special I’d feel to receive one designed by a friend. That would make me one happy bridesmaid! –Sarah Leingang
