New Mommy Angel
About this design:
This is just a simple little bracelet I like to make for women I work with who have a baby. Just a token gift to help them come back to work after their leave is up. I've comforted so many new mothers at work as they're missing their new babies, I thought I would give them a little something they can look at to know their baby is not alone.
The letters spell out the name of the baby. The alphabet beads have large holes and are strung over the seed beads. They are held in place (loosely) by cubic zirconia bicones.
Components:
Angel toggle clasp, cubic zirconia, multi-color seed beads, pewter alphabet blocks.Additional Images:

Yvette R says:Thank you. It’s so sad to see them upset! I feel very fortunate for all the time I spent at home with my babies and I feel for these young moms. I work in a field with lots of young women so I’ve seen it often and it always tugs at my heartstrings.

Linda Talbott says:This is lovely, and what a wonderful thing to do for the new moms. I can imagine it helps with the transition somewhat, and it must be hard to come back to work after having a baby. You’re the angel.
