Jewelry for Breast Cancer

There are many types of breast cancer jewelry available. This jewelry can be symbolic of surviving the disease, or worn to honor a loved one who has lost the battle.

Perhaps the most common breast cancer jewelry is the pink ribbon. Pink ribbons have become an international symbol for breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbon pins are available in many styles and shapes. Some are a simple ribbon painted with pink enamel. Others are adorned with crystals, diamonds or other semi-precious stones.

The pink ribbon is oftentimes attached to a necklace. One popular pink ribbon necklace is the "dog tag" that has the words "4 the Fight against Cancer" engraved on it. A more elegant necklace includes the use of pink Swarovski crystals and delicate freshwater pearls. Nearly every breast cancer necklace has some form of pink incorporated into the design.

Charm bracelets are a favorite style of breast cancer jewelry. The latest craze in breast cancer charms is the "flip flop" sandal, which incorporates the pink ribbon either on the sole or foot of the sandal. The "flip flop" is oftentimes adorned with a pink Swarovski crystal or a semi-precious stone, such as a ruby.

One of the most elegant "flip flop" breast cancer charms is the "We Can Make a Difference" charm. This adorable charm has a multitude of pink ribbons, silver hearts and beads attached to the sandal. The words, "we can make a difference" are engraved on the insole.

Pink ribbon earrings are another popular choice in breast cancer jewelry. They are made as clip-on's for those who do not have pierced ears, and in posts or wires for those who do. The pink ribbon is nearly always included in the design. Some earrings are simple and consist only of the pink ribbon. Others use Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, "flip flop" charms, and semi-precious stones.

Occasionally, breast cancer jewelry can be found in the form of hair clips and barrettes. These hair accessories are generally adorned with a pink ribbon design or use pink and clear Swarovski crystals, or other semi-precious stones.

Regardless of your choice of breast cancer jewelry designs, there is an abundance of choices available. Breast cancer jewelry is available in fine department stores, retail stores, jewelry stores, and through various Internet merchants.
