These breast cancer bracelets were designed with genuine Swarovski crystals/pearls, Aurora Borealis crystals, and solid .925 sterling silver spacer beads / ribbon charm.

Each piece is custom made upon order. The single blue crystal represents the 1% of men who will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year and is a trademark of my breast cancer designs. Please include your preference for ribbon placement (center or clasp) when completing your purchase.

In 2013 I was contacted by Bill Becker regarding Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week and the making of a ground-breaking documentary film, "TIMES LIKE THESE", portraying the lives of men with breast cancer. We chatted back and forth via email and Bill expressed his desire to have Male Breast Cancer Week and the documentary go viral. Sadly, like my husband and so many others before him, Bill succumbed to the disease in 2014 before this could happen.

Never let it be said that these brave men "lost" their battle with breast cancer. Cancer does not fight fairly, but they fought with strength and determination. Faced with overwhelming odds they made it their mission to enlighten others to the reality of the disease in men. Although the outcome of the battle was not what any of us wanted, the courage and tenacity of these men still count as a "win". Cathy Reid, 2012

The work on this vital project continues and 100% of the proceeds raised from the sale of the items shown below will be donated to the making of the film. TIMES LIKE THESE is a feature length documentary film that intimately follows the lives of a small group of men from different walks of life who have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and Metastatic Breast Cancer.

"I'm deeply honored to be making this documentary about the men, women and families affected by Breast Cancer and Metastatic Cancer. Their generosity in sharing their lives with this film in the hopes of saving others humbles and inspires me every day. Through the art of film making, we hope to share the inspiring human story behind this deadly disease." Nick Sadler, 2015

Silver-plated half-moon spacers in topaz with black pearls. Approximately 7 1/4 inches unstretched the bracelet is 12mm (1/2") wide..

The glass shark measures 2 1/2 inches in length and I used a 3mm, 20 inch leather necklace.  The beauty of this natural leather necklace is that one end of the clasp can be unscrewed so that you can swap out the shark pendant with any other large-holed pendant or bead you might have.

Perfect for a bride this stunning necklace was created with Swarovski graphic aurora borealis crystals, white pearls, coordinating silver plated rondelles, solid .925 sterling silver components and professional grade beading wire for maximum strength, flexibility and suppleness. I also include wire guards to ensure a life time of wear. The necklace measures 19 inches and a 2 inch sterling silver extender chain can increase the total length to 21 inches.

This necklace was designed with Swarovski crystals / pearls and solid .925 sterling silver components. The glass pendant measure 1 5/8 inches in length and the length of the necklace is 20 inches.

About our hand-crafted jewelry:

I primarily work with genuine Swarovski crystals/pearls and solid .925 sterling silver. Any variations will be noted in the description for each piece.

The glass pendants I used are one-of-a-kind handmade wearable pieces of glass art, hand created by Glass Artisan Tom Heath of Sanctuary Glass. The pendants were made with borosilicate glass and dichroic glass and were properly kiln annealed for strength and durability.

I started with the 1" dyed fuschia agate pendant and then added Swarovski crystals, fuschia beads and sterling silver saucer beads. This necklace is 20 1/2 inches long. I used photoshop to brighten the first photo so you could see some of the subtle color variations in the pendant.

Fun costume bracelets! The colorful beads are NOT Swarovski crystals. The large spacer beads are silver plated and the Opaque Blue Bracelet has an alloy metal spacer.

The stretch bracelets measure 7 to 7 1/4 inches and will fit most adult wrists.

Candy jade is not actual jade. It is a hard white stone that has been brightly dyed. The largest stone in the front is about 1 5/8 in length. The overall length of this beauty is roughly 20 1/2 inches. I used tiny (3mm) Swarovski beads and sterling silver spacers between each stone. The back of the necklace is comprised of additional Swarovski crystals in Cyclamen Opal and sterling silver. I completed this with a super strong sterling silver box clasp as this piece has a little bit of weight to it. My less than optimum photography skiils do not do justice to this beautiful piece.

Beautiful silver-plated moon pendants with crystals on your choice of a .925 solid sterling silver box chain, 1mm black leather necklace or black satin cord.

The sterling silver chains are available in an 18" length. I am offering the leather and satin in an 18" or 20" length but if you need a different size please ask as I make these myself.
