Awareness Jewelry Announcement

Awareness jewelry comes in either a bracelet or a zipper pull. Show your support with a sterling silver ribbon charm and the color that represents your cause. Green shows support for organ and tissue donation/transplantation.

The Awareness Bracelet is styled in varying shades of green with crystal accents and is embellished with a sterling silver ribbon charm. The bracelet measures approximately 7 ¼ inches and is adjustable with a lobster claw and link closure. You may also order this item in smaller sizes for children. Designs and patterns may vary slightly based on item, color and size.
