]]>1. Craftsmanship Beyond Compare:
At the heart of Break Time's allure is the commitment to unparalleled craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by the Break Time artisan and brand owner, Leonard Copoiu, embodying the rich maritime heritage of Croatia. The attention to detail ensures that every bracelet becomes a unique work of art, reflecting the beauty and strength of the sea.
As we previously announced, we are going on holiday starting December 13th, so all orders placed from this day until the end of the year will be made and shipped in the first week of January 2024.
As a reward for your patience and understanding of the fact that we are a small business whose products are created by one single person (Leonard) and that we sometimes need a break ourselves, we will add a gift from us to each order placed between 13.12-31.12.2023 in our online shop. The value of the gift will be in corelation with the value of the order.
We want to thank you all for liking our handmade jewellery and helping our small business grow, and we wish you and your families happy holidays and a SUPER AWESOME 2024!

A Playful Twist
One of the most exciting aspects of the OCEAN Maxi Edition is the fusion of metals and textiles.

Shackle bracelets have become popular as a fashion accessory, as well as for their symbolism. For some, the shackle represents strength and security, while for others it may symbolize freedom and liberation. In any case, shackle bracelets can be a unique and eye-catching addition to a personal style.
We have two types of Break Time shackle bracelets. Most popular ones are made of sailing rope and feature a closing resembling a yacht shackle.
The second type of shackle bracelets that we create here at Break Time are made entirely our of tiny shackles, linked together to form an original designed chain. Different nautical-inspired titanium charms can be attached to the Ocean shackle bracelets.
]]>There are many reasons why someone might choose to buy a nautical bracelet. Overall, a nautical bracelet can serve as a fashionable and functional accessory that symbolises someone's connection to the sea and the coastal lifestyle.
Buying handmade is a unique and personal alternative to mass-produced jewelry that is often found in department stores and jewelry chains.

]]>We have good news and not-so-good news. I will start with the latter: orders placed in the first part of November will be shipped starting 21.11....but to make up for this delay, the good news is that we are offering free shipping for all bracelets, until 21.11.
Our designer, Leonard, was very hard at work since spring, making dozens of bracelets every single day and just as many custom engravings, so he needs a short break. For the online shop, that means that any online orders placed after November 2nd will be fulfilled starting November 21st. So if you have a friend's birthday coming up or any other reason for which you were planning to order something from us in the first half of November, please do it now, so that we ship it before our short break.

Our "Welcome, autumn!" gift to you...free engraving for any Break Time nautical bracelet you choose to buy from our online shop, until October 20!
Plenty of time to think on what to engrave, but in case you need some inspo, don't forget about our blog post with over 100 engraving ideas to choose from.
Also, in case you are considering getting some personalised Christmas gifts, do not procrastinate any longer and get them now. Not only will you feel good for having done some Christmas shopping early, but as December gets closer, postal services will take longer to deliver. And you are living in a country outside EU, shipping can take anything from two weeks to even over a month, if we are talking about Australia or New Zealand.
Not to mention that our designer Leonard will be on vacation most of November, so we will be unable to fulfill orders from 03.11 to 25.11., unless we have those bracelets you want in stock, in our Trogirska 8 shop in Split, Croatia (but we will not be able to customise them with an engraving during those three weeks).
