Comfort Doll Project currently supports World Vision and other charities through the sale of bracelets /earrings created from used (stage played) guitar and bass strings donated by some of our favorite bands. Each jewelry item is hand made and comes with a card stating which band/artist donated the string. Sam Roberts Band strings come with a small certificate of authentication supplied by SRB Management.

How to measure your hand for a bracelet HERE

- Default (bass strings only)
Coming soon: as of June 2020, Dallas Smith and The Glorious Sons strings are come and gone. Hoping for more from both bands, and from The Trews!
All bracelets slide on like a standard store bought bangle. HERE is how to measure your hand for a proper fit!
Color choices are pretty standard, but the size of beads and style of beads depends on the thickness of the string – larger strings require larger holes in the beads (and therefore larger or chunkier beads – this is suitable for the ‘Rocker’ style in the image above). Thinner wires are more versatile for small scale bracelets with more delicate, sparkle, or small wood beads. Keep this in mind when ordering. Each bracelet is unique – I can’t make two identical even if I try! I also take some artistic license when designing – based on the strings and beads that will fit.
Guitar string bracelets are generally $30 which includes worldwide shipping. If we have a donation from a high profile artist (like Slash) or are given a limited quantity of strings (less than 6) and another donation from that artist is highly unlikely, we have charged more, or auctioned the bracelets to garner more donations. 100% proceeds from each sale goes to charity.
BECAUSE WE’VE HAD ISSUES with our on-site Paypal form not working correctly, We’ve moved our checkout to our commercial jewelry site – where you will find MANY more color and style options than we previously had here! (win win). Click HERE or on the image above to see all your options. And thank you!
**PLEASE NOTE: when we get guitar strings we are often much too busy creating bracelets to be able to put them on our website. We work almost exclusively on Instagram due to it being image based, the ease of bands sharing our posts to their massive following, and the fact that most bands (and fans) have now moved away from Facebook and Twitter and are entrenched on Instagram.
