i've been around the globe, found a diamond wrapped in gold (but it doesn't shine like you)

Kara's mother taught her how to weave them years ago. Knotting and beaconing the thread on a solid surface, it was common in Krypton to braid the bracelet with a loved one. There wasn’t just ceremony in giving, but in creating.

Lena is tying the bracelet around her wrist gently, fingers nudging at Kara’s skin. “Is this too tight?” She can feel Kara’s pulse as she holds the threads. Kara nods. But she cringes too, in the back of her mind. How on earth 一 how on any planet 一 is she supposed to blurt out something as fundamentally unblurtable as “so I know we just did crafts together and it feels like we’re at summer camp but, in my world, we essentially performed a ceremony that vows our undying love to one another”? Lena wants to make friendship bracelets one night, and Kara wants to make Lena happy. She'd do anything for Lena. But Lena doesn't know that, on Krypton, exchanging a handmade bracelet is the equivalent of getting down on one knee, or renewing your vows. Spoiler alert: Lena loves Kara too.
