Most of us know someone who has been or is affected by cancer. (I have had a couple of scares myself). My Dad survived prostate cancer only to be diagnosed with colon cancer. Fortunately, it was caught early. He went through surgery and had several feet of his intestine removed and is recovering.

I wear a personalized Beaded Jewels Bracelet of Hope made by Lexi in the color of colon cancer in honor of my Dad. The picture on the left is the bracelet she made for me.

These bracelets are beautiful and the pictures really do not do them justice! The quality is outstanding. I have received many compliments on it already during the short time I've been wearing it...people notice it and love it!

If you know someone who has cancer, these bracelets make great gifts...they can really lift someone's spirit. Order one for yourself too, in honor of a friend or family member.

The next one I plan to add to my collection is the green and white one in honor of the troops and my husband who served for 28 years. The color of green is soft and beautiful and it has the word 'Pray' in silver blocks...wonderful!




And after that one, I really would like to own one of her new Motherhood bracelets like the one on the left. She makes them with the beads that correspond to the birthstone representing the month in which your children were born. I'll have beads for 4 but in only two colors...can't wait!




Here is Lexi's story...I encourage you to read it and definitely visit her site. She is amazing and terrific to work with!


Lexi Butler certified jewelry designer/maker founder and owner of the online boutique Beaded Jewels has experienced the devastation of cancer, directly through her dad who was diagnosed in 2003 with stage four colorectal cancer. When she heard the devastating news from her mother over the phone, she took an emergency flight to Germany to see her father one more time...or so she thought.



Nothing could prepare her for what she was about to see, once she reached her family’s home. The handsome man in stature had shriveled into this pale, bald, skinny, almost not recognizable human being...a picture that would stay with her for years to come. Today, her father is a six year survivor and they thank God for each day he gets to live.




During her life in Germany, she knew her dad not only as the father figure, but as the boss of his jewelry company. As she grew, she also learned the trade of goldsmith and jewelry design; she decided to become certified in both. For many years, she has wanted to help and make a difference, but did not quite know how to go about it.



As many people today, she was uninformed about the many types of main cancer alone that affect thousands of people everyday. She wanted to make a difference and help inform people and spread cancer awareness nationwide through a unique way - by designing and handcrafting each Beaded Jewels Bracelet of Hope with love. Knowing herself how devastating cancer is she wants to "Bring a Little Sparkle into Someone's Life" which is the motto behind these bracelets.
