PRODUCT DETAILS

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™:

Black-Capped Chickadee Bracelet Inspiration: If you remember, I asked a couple of weeks back if there was a particular Alaskan bird you would like to see made into a Birds of Alaska bracelet.  I was asked to make a Black-Capped Chickadee bracelet, and that’s what we’re introducing today!  

See, if there’s something Alaskan you want to see made into a bracelet, just ask!  We’re very happy to make what you want!

The Black-Capped Chickadee is a very familiar bird to Alaskans.  They don’t migrate in the winter, and you will even spot them up in Fairbanks, where it’s very cold and dark.  They’re tough little birds.

We have quite a few that eat from the suet we put out all year long.  I love to watch them line up on the string lights over the garden waiting their turn.  They’re song is so sweet.  It sounds like, “Hey, Sweetie.”

According to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, the Black-Capped Chickadee has “black cap and bib, white cheeks, soft gray back, wing feathers gray edged with white, and soft buffy-colored underparts grading to white in the center.”

I read something very interesting.  I’ve always wondered how do these little songbirds, Chickadees, Nuthatches, etc. stay warm during the cold winters.  They will put on 10% of body fat every day, and then they burn that 10% of body fat at night to stay warm.   Oh, how nice that must be!!

As I was researching the Black-Capped Chickadee, I read something that struck me.  They’re small birds.  They are about 4.7–5.9 inches and only weighing in .3-.5 ounces.  That’s little.  I read a comment that though they’re little birds, they have a big personality.  That’s so true!

I took the big personality as my jumping off point.  After making several prototypes of bracelets, we decided that the one using the bigger beads really stood out to match that big personality.

The three polished Black Agate in the center represent the black cap on their head, which is where they get their name.  

On either side of that I used a single white Howlite.  The white Howlite with the gray veining represents the white and gray feathers on the body.

Next I used two gray druzy on either side to represent the gray feathers, and then I finished it off with a Grey Saucer Natural Wood Beads just for some fun because Chickadees are not serious birds.  They remember things, they grow accustomed to people, and even our dogs, so that they don’t fly away when we come out on the deck. 

So, what is your Black-Capped Chickadee story?

This is a stretch bracelet to fit most wrists.

SIZE & FIT

Sizing Chart

Measure around your wrist with a flexible ruler or tape measure. Wrap the tape measure comfortably around your wrist with just a slight gap between the ruler and your wrist. This is the SMALLEST size bracelet you should comfortably wear. This will also be the approximate inside diameter of the bracelet you should order.
Our leather bracelets are a fixed size. This means, measuring your wrist correctly is very important. See the chart below for our sizes in inches and cm.

Bracelet measurements are approximate

   SIZE       |  INCHES  |       CM        |     APPROX BONE STRUCTURE

X-Small      |   6.0-6.5  | 15.25 - 16.5 | Extremely small framed adult or small child

Small         |   6.5-7.0   | 16.5 - 18.0   | Average pre-teen or small framed adult

Regular      |   7.0-7.5  | 18.0 - 19.0   | This is our standard size. Fits average adult

Large         |  7.5-8.0   | 19.0 - 20.5   | Big boned adult

X-Large      |  8.0-8.5   | 20.5 - 21.5  | Extremely big boned adult. Please verity measurement

Custom      | We can make any of our bracelets to your custom size. Just ask - we are here to help.

Our unique slide-knot adjustable bracelets open up and then close back to a size that you adjust using the slide-knot and pulling the ends of the bracelet. Unless you have an extremely small or extremely large hand, our Regular sized bracelet will work just fine. If you need a custom size, please not only measure your wrist, but the widest part of your hand as well. These measurements will help us to create a perfect fit just for you.
For our stretch bracelets (also known as slip-ons), you want the bracelet to be large enough to go over your hand and then snug back to be comfortable on your wrist. Again, our Regular size is generally sufficient. Custom sizes can be made - just reach out to us. Of note, for the longevity of your stretch bracelet, we recommend 'rolling' your bracelet over your hand onto your wrist instead of 'pulling' the bracelet over your hand. 'Pulling' will cause the bracelet to over-stretch and possibly break.
