    Miachelle, since this is a specialty in your line, consider making a
    bracelet base similar to what you need as a pattern so that you can
    have them cast for you. This would give you the opportunity to build
    into the design your own style and incorporate any modifications you
    must make when working with the commercial bracelet. 

    There are folks here on Orchid who can help you out with making the
    pattern and mold and with casting them to your specifications. There
    would be an upfront cost for getting started but then you would
    control your source and the continuing costs would in time be more
    economical than purchasing the commercial product for your base as
    you have in the past.
