YouDesignWeCreate.com - a custom jewellery manufacturer - has been named as the creator of the bracelets for the 2007 USPC Poker Tournament.

The custom poker bracelets are to be awarded to the tournament winner at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City along with a $1 million (£500,000) prize.

The bracelets are made by hand and crafted out of 2.9 ounces of 14-carat gold, with a nominal value of over $7,500.

"This custom-made bracelet will mean more to a true US poker champion than money," commented Tom Gitto, director of poker operations at Trump Taj Mahal.

Meanwhile, designer Jordan Eddi described the experience as "one of the high points of my career as a jewellery manufacturer".

It was recently announced that Thomas "Buzzer" Bihl has become the first person to win a WSOP gold bracelet outside of the US.

Mr Bihl of Frankfurt, Germany, won £70,875 and the gold WSOP bracelet over the weekend.
