We're so excited
to have this lovely bracelet to represent any invisible illness
as well as HopeKeepers. It includes beautiful Bali Sterling, which
is sturdy, yet not too bulky. Clear crystals which are genuine Swarovski
crystals, freshwater white pearls, sterling silver seamless balls,
small sterling silver ribbon and Hope bead, and crystal and pearl
charm.
*The designs
may vary slightly depending on the sizing (it would not be noticeable
to most people). Also the nature of the Freshwater pearls have small
imperfections, but that is the beauty of the bead.
The largest
size is $3 more due to the additional beads.
Because
this bracelet is so beautiful, I'll think of our Lord. I'm excited
that this bracelet will be an expression of Hope to those who
have an invisible illness like fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue
syndrome, M.S., various types of chronic pain, RA, and so many
others. On those dark days that do come, we can look at this symbol
and know that there is always Hope. I believe this bracelet will
help to spread awareness and to illustrate that we do have Hope
in spite of our pain, disabilities or fears.
This lovely
bracelet also symbolizes the hope that is made possible to thousands
of patients of chronic illness through the HopeKeepers magazine,
hopenotes, and HopeKeepers support groups. It's also a blessing
because it's designed by a Christian woman who owns MP Designs.

HOW
TO KNOW YOUR SIZE:
Measure
your wrist:
Wrap
a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper/string around
your wrist right above the bone. If using the paper/string
method, mark it where the end meets then measure it with
a ruler. If your wrist falls between quarter inch increments,
round up to the nearest quarter inch.
- Small
= 5 3/4 inches or less (equals a bracelet length of 6
3/4 or less)
-
Average = 6 to 6 3/4 inches (equals a bracelet length
of 7 to 7 3/4)
- Large
= 7 inches or more (equals a bracelet length of 8 inches
or more)
Once
you know your wrist size, here are some tips for selecting
your bracelet length!
- Add
1/4 - 1/2 inch to your base wrist measurement if you like
a snug fitting bracelet or you don't want your bracelet
to move up your arm.
- Add
3/4 - 1 inch for a comfortable fit. The bracelets will
move freely and charm styles will dangle nicely.
- Add
1 1/4 inch for a looser fit. OK for toggle.
