Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry

I started making breast cancer awareness jewelry after my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago.  Usually when someone buys an awareness item from my shop, they share who it's for. It warms my heart reading their stories.  It also reminds me how precious life is.

Let's keep fighting for a cure!  And remember to take care of yourselves!

Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry

I originally made a charm necklace for my mom when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in the Fall of 2010.  Fortunately her cancer was caught early.  When people started asking her about her necklace, I began listing them in my ETSY shop.  

I receive many touching notes from my customers when it comes to cancer awareness jewelry.  It's very heartwarming.  ♥

Pink Ribbon Packaging

One of my favorite jewelry items to make is breast cancer awareness jewelry.  My customers will usually let me know who they are purchasing it for and it touches my heart to know that it's a way for someone to show a cancer patient they care.  


Now all breast cancer awareness jewelry in my ETSY shop will come packaged in a pretty pink ribbon pouch.  Fellow ETSY artist Janie made these for me and I think they're the perfect finishing touch!  Janie has a lot of other bags and items in her shop, so stop by and check them out!  Here is the link to her shop:  jmaeson's creations.  

Think Pink

It's difficult to go anywhere these days and not see pink.  I was even in Lowe's Home Improvement store this week and saw light bulbs in pink packaging.  So, you know the lecture that's coming -- Early detection is key.  Get yearly mammograms and do monthly self-examinations.  My mom's cancer last fall was caught early with a mammogram and she is now cancer free!

Here are some of my favorite pink items I've come across on Etsy along with links to the artist's shops.  Just remember... holiday shopping is right around the corner!  These shops have lots of great items!

This pretty bracelet is by Little Green Room.  I love the combination of leather and metal.  Be sure to check out the other jewelry items - such cool designs and stampings!  

I love the colors and textures of this scarf by Fritzie Froodles!  The shop is filled with other pretty scarfs and accessories.

These hand-stamped spoons from Baby Puppy Designs are so cute and have such special messages.  You'll find more hand-stamped silverware and items in this shop. 

The Pig and the Peacock has a shop filled with fun soap, including these pink ribbon soaps.

God bless all of those affected by this disease.

Pink Fling Luncheon ~ Hampstead, MD

Last week I dropped a special item in the mail.  I donated a breast cancer awareness necklace to an event supporting the Wish Fund of Carroll Hospital Center.  If you are in the Hampstead, MD area, check out this luncheon!  It sounds like a wonderful time .... wish I was closer!
