New Breast Cancer Bracelet
I love it when my customers give me new ideas. Especially this one.
I had a home party at Melanie's home (my Lexie Jewelry partner) and we decided to display more of my regular jewelry than just the Lexie Jewelry. A percentage of the sales would go to Cancer Research as with the Lexie Jewelry. To make a long story short, one of the ladies saw a bracelet
and suggested that it be made with pink beads instead of the hematite in the bracelet I had there. (above) She wanted to give her sister, now with Breast Cancer, a meaningful bracelet.
After a small search for pink beads, I settled on Rose Swarovski 6 mm beads. Funny thing. My daughter who is not a jewelry person commented while I was making the bracelet: "Hey, that's nice. I might wear that!" Now that is a complement!
Anyhow, I'm thinking that I should add this to my Cancer Research line of jewelry.
What do you think?

Definitely yes! Nice idea and I love the curved metal elements. I just realized how important cancer research is, as two weeks before Christmas breast cancer reached my family, too. Best wishes to all and much strength!
ReplyDeletei think jewellery for cancer is a great way to raise funds. The bracelet does look nice with pink beads. Maybe you could do a matching earring set too?
ReplyDeleteMaking earrings to match is a great idea. Off to the drawing board.
ReplyDeleteKokopelli,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your family having breast cancer too. Not many do not nowadays. Glad you like the bracelet.
I do like the curved tubes! Very inspiring design and effort for the cause.
ReplyDeleteHi Bev ,) What a great idea that is for the breast cancer jewelry, and with matching earrings, even better ,) I unfortunately lost an aunt to breast cancer, and it was really sad and hard on me, but i think that it is really nice to know that ppl are doing things like this!
