Childrens names and birthstones in the order specified by you, ...a 7 1/2" bracelet can hold 20 letters with 8 crystals... beyond that, I suggest adding rows or a wrap around made with memory wire™

Shown here are matching clusters of four children's birthstones... each crystal on it's own chain gives these earrings alot of movement

for Too many letters
When full names are used, or you have many names (grin), The coil bracelet is always an option... This bracelet, as it is here, is unfinished.... I would add 'parent' charms at the ends... or any charms you might like (if I can find them for you)

for Ankles
made slightly larger for the ankle, children's names and birthstones "go farther"... and fastened with a lobster claw clasp to a heavy rollo chain makes this piece 'adjustable'

for Color: Just Birthstones
Only children.... or the entire family... again, a piece like this is made with crystals specified by you (6mm round crystals were used for this piece)

Another popular style is the charm bracelet... Birthstones (8mm beads) and Bali are applied securely to a heavy rollo chain

for First, Second & Third Generations
Same bracelet as above with the addition of great-grandchildren (4mm beads)... starting at one end leaves room for future 'members'

for Grandma's family
Another "generations" piece... a necklace for Grandma... the two center crystals are Grandma & Grandpa, on each side of them - their two children... followed by respective grandchildren in smaller crystals... and on the right side an even smaller crystal representing a great-grandchild. This necklace is adjustable from 18 to 21 inches depending where the clasp is fastened

Pieces shown above are made with Sterling Silver and Swarovski crystals on 49 strand cable. The magnetic clasps are now exclusively sterling. Sterling toggles or lobster claw clasps can also be used.
In fact, I prefer to make childrens pieces with a Lobster claw clasp
because there's "room to grow" and they're harder to take off and lose...
