Worthy of the Cause!, October 18, 2007
This review is from: Sterling Silver "Hope, Act, Live" Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet (Jewelry)
In 1999 I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ following many tests plus a lumpectomy. Since that time, I've found it difficult to consider myself a breast cancer survivor. I've known many women who lost their breasts or their lives to breast cancer, so I didn't feel my own experience qualified me as a member of the club no woman wants to belong to. Then a year and a half ago there was another "suspicious area" in my other breast, and I was reminded of the need for (a) solid education, (b) regular screenings for every woman, (c) money for research, and (d) a national standard of care regarding breast cancer and breast issues. My second tumor turned out to be benign, thankfully!
At the age of 38, I had no family history of breast cancer and no risk factors. Therefore, I'm eternally grateful to Amazon and others who are dedicated to donating proceeds to the further study of this disease.
As for this bracelet, it's solid, substantial, feminine, very well made and a pleasure to wear. I have small wrists, and it's a perfect size. Please consider a purchase of this piece as a gift or reminder to yourself, as a gift for someone else, or simply to support a worthy cause. The engraved words on the inside of the bracelet - hope, act, live - are inspirational to any woman! Breast cancer is not a prerequisite to wear this piece. Those are good words to live by regardless of personal circumstances.
Thank you, Amazon, for your efforts in supporting a worthwhile cause with a well made piece of fine jewelry at an affordable price!

Substantial and Beautiful!, October 31, 2007
This review is from: Sterling Silver "Hope, Act, Live" Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet (Jewelry)
This bracelet arrived today and I was very pleased how the bracelet fit, looked and how substantial the silver is. This is not a cheap flimsy bracelet that will bend everytime you move your wrist.
I purchased this item in memory of a family member and to help fund cancer research for my best friend and all the women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
A very beautiful bracelet, that is not to dainty and not to overly bold for a great cause and a great price! If you are small boned this is a great size. I highly recommend this item.

great product!, June 24, 2008
This review is from: Sterling Silver "Hope, Act, Live" Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet (Jewelry)
The customer reviews I read were very helpful. The bracelet is definitely on the smaller side and suits smaller wrists best. As someone with a smaller wrist, I usually have a hard time fitting bracelets and most are usually too big and slide all over the place. This one fits perfectly. I bought this product for my mom (who is a breast cancer survivor) and myself, but am waiting until August to give it to her for her birthday. A wonderful piece of jewelry! I cannot wait to wear mine all the time.
