Things You'll Need:
- Breast cancer awareness pendent
- Pink ribbon
- Jewelry cleaner
-
Step 1
Purchase a breast cancer awareness charm to use as a pendant.
-
Step 2
You can then make your own jewelry by taking a thin, pink ribbon and cutting a piece long enough to be tied and still go over your head and attaching the pendant to it.
-
Step 3
Take a charm bracelet and add breast cancer awareness ribbon charms to the bracelet. Other charms could be "survivor" charms or a charm that reminds you of someone who has been touched by breast cancer.
-
Step 1
Look for a packaging guarantee telling you that at least a portion of the profit will go toward breast cancer awareness causes. Be sure it is a cause you know and have heard about before. Packaging that says something like "A portion of the proceeds will go to breast cancer research," does not tell you enough information about where your money is going.
-
Step 2
Buy your breast cancer awareness jewelry directly from breast cancer organizations. This is the best way to make sure the greatest amount of money goes back to the organization. True breast cancer organizations are not trying to make a profit on the jewelry, but they support efforts to find a cure.
-
Step 3
Select jewelry that you can wear comfortably each day. Try the jewelry on and see how it fits and feels before making a purchase. If you have an allergy, inquire about the different metals used in the jewelry.
-
Step 4
Find jewelry you will be able to wear with a magnitude of outfits. Select jewelry that you will also enjoy wearing with everyday clothing. The more you can wear your breast cancer jewelry, the more awareness you will create.
-
Step 5
Examine the craftsmanship of the jewelry before you buy the item. Many well-meaning individuals craft their own jewelry for sale for breast cancer awareness without prior jewelry-making experience. Jewelry clasps, links and attachments (such as charms) should be able to withstand time and elements.
