The idea of breast cancer awareness bracelet came from the cancer awareness bracelets. Breast cancer bracelets come in different colors. However, pink is the most popular breast cancer awareness bracelets color.

It depends on the charity or organization selling breast cancer awareness bracelets to decide what should be the color of the bracelets. Very often, you will find some message stamped on it, ‘Show Your Support for Breast Cancer Research and Education’ for example.

It is a misconception that the breast cancer bracelet needs to be made of either silicone or rubber in order for it to be called a breast cancer awareness bracelet. Breast cancer bracelets can be made of, along with silicone and ribbon, metal, cats eye, pearly, or any other suitable material. You will find even stainless steel breast cancer bracelets in the stores.

The difference between them is of course of the material they are made up of and of the price. Around $1 a piece you can get a rubber breast cancer awareness bracelet. The prices will be higher for metal ones. You will come across with some breast cancer bracelets that are made of pearl and can be bought around $30 a piece. Any such bracelets that are made of the materials jewelries are commonly made up of can serve two purposes i.e. on one hand it is spreading the message of charity and breast cancer research, while on the other, they are jewelry.

Rubber breast cancer bracelets have the advantage of, besides the low price, infinite customizability i.e. they can be ordered with any message stamped on it and in any color, furthermore, while playing or washing you are not required to take them off as well as, unlike cats eye or pearl ones, you don’t have the worry of losing them.
