In recent years, the ongoing battle for a breast cancer cure
has gained notoriety as more and more lives have become touched by the
devastating emotional and physical trials of cancer. Yet where the malignancy
of cancer lurks, supportive movements such as the recent popularization of
Cancer Awareness Jewelry prevail, helping to sustain the fight against the
disease and fortify the battle for a cure.
Whereas the ongoing battle for a breast cancer cure has been
made famous with the pink ribbon campaign, Cancer Awareness Jewelry is taking
the power of hope and strength to new heights with innovative designs. Such
jewelry can provide an ideal way in which to extend both emotional and
practical support for those living with cancer.
Treasured bracelets, earrings, anklets, or rings allow both friends and
families of cancer survivors - as well as those undergoing treatment, to
celebrate the power of hope and the beauty of strength.
The following list details awareness colors and the cancers
which these colors represent:
Black - Melanoma

Awareness
and support can be demonstrated in a myriad of ways: from the spelling out of
empowering words such as ‘hope' and ‘strength' to a color theme displaying
direct support for research of a specific cancer. For instance, a
friend or family member fighting ovarian cancer might greatly appreciate a
beautiful teal ribbon bracelet set with Swarovski crystals and freshwater
pearls or a necklace with hand-set crystal on a toggle link bracelet. A
sterling silver bracelet decorated with gray crystals and a silver ribbon charm
is an encouragement for someone fighting brain cancer. The Angel of Hope symbol is another popular
choice for a cancer survivor or someone going through treatment. Cancer
survivor rings in sterling silver send a powerful message of hope and
celebration for loved ones whose cancer is in remission.
Furthermore, a charm bracelet adorned with a breast cancer
charm, the birthstone of the recipient, and other symbolic charms are a
wonderful reminder of support and love during a challenging time. From
the causes of cancer to the potential cures, Cancer Awareness charm bracelets
allow for women to stand proud in their support of those in their lives
affected by cancer. Charms can be added as a visible sign of support for the
cure to a personal self-reward for those undergoing treatment to a testament of
those lost to a disease which continues to claim lives.
Today, more than ever, everyone knows someone who has
received a cancer diagnosis. It's impact is far-reaching. Fortunately, the work
for a cure reaches far and wide as well.
Where cancer lurks, hope can and does prevail. Cancer Awareness Jewelry
provides significant and visible way to support loved-ones affected by cancer. A carefully chosen
piece of jewelry can provide humor, inspiration and strength for cancer
patients and their families.
