I have made this bracelet and several more, all very similar, as a means of fund raising for my Son-in-Law George and Daughter Joanne. My son-in-law was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and is currently undergoing the hell that is the only treatment for the illness. The treatment and recovery are very lengthy and funds will help them ad little daughter Gracie through this very difficult period.
The bracelets each have a hand-made bead at the centre, bearing the orange Leukemia ribbon symbol and a pewter and enamel Lekemia ribbon charm attached at the clasp. The other main beads are round foil lined beads - the colours I've chosen for these are gold, copper and bronze. Some bracelets have a mix of all colours and others have only one of the colours. Between these beads I have also varied each bracelet. So some have little orange beads, some have Czech fire polished beads in a bronze colour, some have little tiger eye (semi-precious) beads, some have orange crystals and others have little silver plated beads. The clasps are a fancy 's' shaped clasp in a Bali style. These are made from copper that has been heavily plated with sterling silver. If you are interested in buying one of these bracelets just e-mail in the first instance, with your wrist measurement. Whichever bracelet yuo receive, they are all very similar, but I have deliberately attempted to make some differences so that what you get will be more unique than mass produced items.
The price is 14 Pounds sterling or $20, plus package and postage extra. I am donating my time and all profits go to the fund.
