Friendship Bracelets: New Spin on an Old Foe
Ever sit down to make a friendship bracelet for your dearest friend as a young child? At one point, they were pretty popular. I remember having friends who would constantly exchange friendship bracelets.
A lot of work went into making these bracelets--first, you need to take some time to learn how to actually weave the thread. This step requires much patience and is often a process of trial-and-error. Next, once the bracelet weaving began, most of the day would be consumed since it's such a time-consuming activity. These friendship bracelets were a true sign of thought and effort.
Links of London has released a beautiful new twist on this old foe. They've designed a charming bracelet that plays upon the traditional friendship bracelet. This new rendition of a frienship bracelet consists of bars of sterling silver wrapped in different colours of thread.
These friendship bracelets come in different shades and colours. You can either choose a full standard colour or, as a custom option, you could add your own spin to it and choose up to four different colours of thread. For example, if your best friend likes purple, black, yellow and pink, then thats the combination she can get!
Links offers their friendship bracelets for a price of about $210 CAD. It's definitely more costly than a traditional friendship bracelet, but it's definitely a charming piece that is sure to satisfy your closest friends.
