The bracelet is beautifully packaged in an organza bag. This poem is printed on vellum:

Once upon a time a baby girl was born.
This pearl and silver bracelet, upon her wrist was worn.
The years went by, the young girl grew.
Something old, Something new,
Something borrowed, Something blue,
A lucky penny for her shoe...
These treasures she'd recall with pride,
When this baby became a bride.
Keep these tiny treasures close,
to use the day you'll cherish most.

Baby's Name: _______________________

How to use this bracelet (on the back):

On the bride's wedding day, take the bracelet which is now an OLD heirloom and fold it in half to form a ring. Then BORROW a NEW safety pin to attach inside the wedding dress with the BLUE bow. Then add a LUCKY PENNY in your shoe!
