Hello! I'm Michael.

My journey into bracelet making is one of transformation, resilience, and passion. Before I began crafting memorial bracelets, I was a Physical Education teacher, dedicated to inspiring and empowering young minds through sports and fitness.

In 2024, my life took an unexpected turn when I underwent surgery for a heart valve replacement. This profound experience reshaped my outlook on life and inspired me to find new ways to connect with others and celebrate the moments that truly matter.

From PE Teacher to Memorial Bracelet Maker

Transitioning from teaching to crafting memorial bracelets was a significant career shift, but it allowed me to combine my love for creativity with a deeper purpose: honouring memories. Each bracelet I create is more than just jewellery—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the people and moments that shape our lives.

Why Memorial Bracelets?

My surgery was a turning point that reminded me of the importance of cherishing the special people and events in our lives. Memorial bracelets became my way of helping others keep their loved ones close, celebrate life’s milestones, and find comfort during challenging times.

Our Mission

At By My Side Bracelets, our mission is simple yet meaningful: to create beautiful, high-quality bracelets that serve as timeless keepsakes. Each piece is lovingly crafted with care and attention to detail, ensuring your memories are honoured in the most special way.

Join Me on This Journey

I invite you to explore my collection of memorial bracelets and find a piece that speaks to your heart. Whether you're commemorating a loved one, celebrating a milestone, or seeking a meaningful gift, I hope my bracelets bring you comfort and joy.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your story and for being part of mine.

Warmly,
Michael
