A symbol of resilience. A connection of hearts. A way to honor and support mothers who have experienced profound loss.

Erika Boike created Brave Bracelets to give mothers a tangible reminder that they are not alone—and to encourage others to join in creating a community of hope. Each bracelet represents courage, love, and the power of shared experiences. By giving or wearing one, you help keep Charlie’s spirit alive while connecting with others who understand the journey of grief and healing.

Build Your Own Bracelet

Just like Build-A-Bear, but for the heart: choose a style, colors, and beads to create a bracelet that is uniquely yours—or gift it to someone who needs a reminder that they are seen and supported. Styles include:

• Build-A-Wrap – Double wrap leather for a layered look

• Build-A-Skinny – Sleek and simple, perfect for everyday wear

• Build-A-Cork – Eco-friendly and versatile

• Build-A-Mini Wrap – Petite and adjustable, ideal for teens or layering

Share the Courage

Brave Bracelets are meant to be shared. Erika encourages you to create bracelets for yourself and others, passing along hope, strength, and love. Every bracelet becomes a story, a memory, and a gesture of connection that ripples through families and communities.
