What To Know About Cancer Awareness Jewelry

By Mavis Roach


It's hard to resist the urge to accent the day-to-day attire with a little something extra. Cancer awareness jewelry is not only a great way to spruce up your appearance but also to show support for all who are suffering from a very serious illness. Supporting a good cause never looked this good.

Those who struggle with this particular illness face a wide host of obstacles, some seemingly insurmountable. Fortunately, there are just as many ways to show your sympathies with all kinds of charms and rings and necklaces and pendants.

One of the most popular items is the many different ribbons available for purchase. These are color coded, each representing a particular illness, or other significant aspect of these sicknesses. And whether it is leukemia or melanoma, there is a ribbon specific for each and every one to support one type or another.

Such ribbons, which are most often represented with some form of pin or pendant, can also bear some kind of message or at least an identifying word. Aside, from pins, they can also be worn as charms on a bracelet. In fact, many prefer this medium because they can show support for many different kinds of diseases, especially effective when the person knows more than one suffering person.

Bracelets are also a great accessory and spread the message that people are suffering and need our help. These can be as simple as bands stamped with a word of encouragement or elaborately cut crystal beads, bearing the famous ribbons etched and painted. Either way, bracelets also show support.

Even necklaces are a good choice to show both your prowess as a fashion mogul and a humanizing philanthropist. Just like bracelets, necklaces are great items whether you favor the more minimal style or the more intricate. You could even choose to wear a locket to carry the image of some loved one with you.

There are many ways to find these great accessories. Many stores, especially jewelry stores, have many such items ready for those who want to lend the support. The great thing is that many times a portion of the purchase of these products is donated to groups and organizations that seek to alleviate the pain and even find a cure for these dreaded illnesses.

Cancer awareness jewelry is an excellent way to help others and look good while doing it. You will find necklaces and bracelets, rings and pins that will help you to help those who are really suffering.
