My family is chinese, and i asked my mom what she wants for christmas She knows what she wants, but we don’t know where to get it. We are looking for a bracelet. recycled glass vases . A bracelet made out of strung chinese coins. The coins should be 24ct gold, preferably with zodiac designs on it, but the design isn’t too consequential.
Does anyone know where we can find it? She is my mom, so price is not a consideration. iphone development . recycle glasses .
THank you guys!

This might be the second closest match to what you’re looking for. It’s a link bracelet with Chinese coins and peach pearls. I think it’s 18K gold, but the description doesn’t say:

This is the closest match I could find. It’s 14K white gold with the zodiac animals and characters on each coin charm:

These next two options are more fanciful and less literal to your description. They’re both hand-made, which might make you feel good in knowing that you’re buying a one-of-a-kind and not supporting a product that is mass-produced. The first is a Chinese Rose Flower bracelet that is made of 19cm plated gold, lucite and handmade charms:

The second is less specific to China, with glass, wood, and porcelain beads:
