High blood pressure, overweight and obesity and diabetes are common conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.The prevalence of high blood pressure in African-Americans is the highest in the world. Most heart disease and stroke deaths are preventable yet cardiovascular diseases continue to be our country's greatest health threat, especially to African-Americans and women. Women’s heart health awareness helps to improve the lives of women globally. Celebrate strength, be a proud supporter, raise awareness, serve as a catalyst for change... a remembrance in honor of a heroic fighter, or as a proud ally for a survivor. The bold color red has come to stand for a lot of causes friends, family and loved ones use to show support. In addition to the most well-known representation, red can also symbolize HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome), blood cancer, cardiomyopathy, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, high blood pressure, heart defects, tuberculosis, female genital mutilation, burn victims and the Zika virus among many other causes.

HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY ~ Bracelets are constructed one at a time and therefore no two will be exactly alike. Due to variations in both materials and sourced supplies, slight imperfections are to be expected. Natural beads and stones often contain flaws, blemishes, variations and inclusions. I always do my best to accurately reproduce the designs portrayed in my shop. Please note also that photography presents differently on varying devices.
♡ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡
Your stretch bracelet is handcrafted to be strong and lasting, but elastic, stones, beads and metal plating are not eternal. Natural wear and tear will also affect your jewelry. By following these simple tips, however, you can maintain your jewelry’s beauty for as long as possible:
> DO NOT GET YOUR BRACELET WET ~ Keep your jewelry away from moisture. It is best to remove your bracelet before washing your hands, showering, exercising and swimming since contact with moisture can break down the elastic, ruin finishes and tarnish metals and charms.
> AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer or other chemicals can weaken the elastic, harm natural crystals and result in the discoloration and peeling of beads and gemstones.
> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your bracelet in sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may lead to elastic erosion and can cause beads and metal to discolor. Remove your bracelet while exercising.
> ROLL IT ON AND OFF ~ Do not over-stretch your bracelet! It has been made with pre-stretched elastic. Over-stretching it beyond its capacity will cause it to break. To keep from overly stretching it to put it on and off, slide your fingers into the bracelet first, then gently roll the beads over your knuckles and then onto your wrist. Do the same when taking your bracelet off.
> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your jewelry safely in a soft pouch or secured in a box or drawer. Never wear your jewelry to bed and remove when sleeping.
