Hi, I'm looking for someone who makes beaded bracelets to replace the band for my medical alert bracelet. I know I can find this elsewhere, but my first preference is to support a Ko-Fi creator if I can.

My most recent band was double stranded and one strand broke - I tried to cut the wire but it didn't cut flush which is why I'm looking for a replacement (both shown bands now scratch at my wrist and snag at my yarn when I'm crocheting/knitting.)

Specs:

  • I wear my medical alert bracelet 24/7 except when bathing, so would like something pretty and durable.
  • The wrist I wear the bracelet on measures a total of 8 inches.
  • The tag (which is perfectly capable of swapping to a new bracelet) measures 1.5 inches from outside edge to outside edge, and 1.25 inches from inner opening edge to the opposite opening edge.
  • As long as the bracelet has two lobster clasps, it should work with my tag. If there're different gauges of clasps, please tell me how to measure the ones on my previous bands to get you that information.
  • Colors: My favorite color is purple and I dislike pink. Blue is my second favorite color.
  • My current budget is $40 but if the process will take a month+ (so completion/payment date of mid-Sept or later) I'd likely be able to add to that from my regular monthly benefit payment.

Please let me know if I have missed any necessary information.

Thank you!

I'm not back home until the weekend, but I might be able to make something like this.
I would have to check if I have memory wire though (I assume that's the kind used in yours?), and supplies that you like.

I am in Europe though, so it might be easier (and cheaper) if anyone more local to you is interested 😊

The listings from when I bought either band never listed what exact kind of wires were used, so I can't answer that question. I do know the purple one lasted 2 years of the 24/7 wear (including sleeping with it on) before it started to fray on one end.
The bluish-green only lasted one, so I'm assuming they were not the same quality/type of wires.

Thank you for being willing to look into the possibility - I'll see if anyone more local responds with interest as well but I'm starting to think I'm starved for choice if I'm going to stick to my desire to support a Ko-Fi creator.

I'm back home now, so once I've had a look through my supplies I'll let you know which options I would be able to provide!

I checked and I have the materials/findings needed to make a bracelet like this, so if you'd like to have a further chat about it and see what options I have with beads etc, let me know!

Absolutely!
Unexpected bills and expenses are never fun. Hope that balances out sooner rather than later KofiBean

And sorry for the delay, a recent illness left me a little indisposed to responding to most Discords
