Description
This Awareness Bracelet is so much more
Than a ribbon on a rope,
It’s meant to spread Awareness,
Understanding, love and hope.
This Orange Awareness wish bracelet was created as an unobtrusive way for you to show your support for sufferers of a number of conditions, including but not limited to MS, Leukaemia & CRPS, it can also represent Gun Violence Awareness, a sad reflection of our times.
Awareness Ribbons, a commonly seen 21st Century phenomenon, were created to increase general public awareness of a particular illness, disability or condition, and to gather support for its sufferers. This can help to normalise a condition, as well as initiating discussion and gathering support.
Wearing an awareness bracelet is a simple way to show your support for a specific cause, or perhaps to indicate that you are suffering from that particular condition yourself.
Background
This bracelet was born as a hybrid, a result of a ‘what if’ moment, when I combined the popular ‘wish bracelets’ along with my range of Awareness Bracelets.
As a sufferer of depression and a long term chronic condition, this awareness range is close to my heart, as a way to increase general public awareness of a particular illness, disability or condition, and to gather support for its sufferers.
The idea of the ‘Wish Bracelet’ is that as you put on the bracelet, you make your wish, and from then on, the bracelet remains on your wrist day and night, until the string breaks or wears through. The thinking behind this is based on the belief that you do not get something for nothing, thus the loss of a trinket is the price to pay for your wish coming true!
Personally, I had a little difficulty making something that was intended to be lost/broken, instead I believe that if you make your wish as you put on your bracelet, each time you look at it you will remember your hopes, as well as making others aware, and work to making it a reality.
Each bracelet is made using orange cord, as in the photographs, and features either a ‘hope ribbon’, or an orange enamelled ribbon. The bracelet features a sliding knot closure, so is easy to put on or remove.
I have priced these to include postage and packing, but as they are so very light, I am able to offer a discount on multiple bracelets sent together. For multiple orders, I can also offer a header card tailored to your event, as well as featuring different charms, just message me and I’ll be happy to help.
Just message me and I’ll sort it out for you.
