Fashion Faux Pas or Life....

Decisions, decisions...

I guess I am to the point where I need to look into having a medic alert bracelet or the liking.  Since corn is in everything, I have to make sure a paramedic knows not to give me an IV with dextrose.  Also, I guess it is good for them to know (should something happen, knock on wood) what I am allergic to medication-wise.  Here is my problem, I can only have SS or 14K gold.  My body eats stainless steel.  I don't really want SS since it tarnishes, but I do have unlimited access to Tarnex.  With the price of gold where it is, I don't really want to fork out all that cash just for a bracelet that I am not going to love.

I love my jewelry.  I have a slight obsession with it.  I had a dream last night about my rings being stolen and woke up screaming and in a cold sweat!  I have more sets of pearls than all of my grandma's combined!  I do not want to wear an ugly medic alert bracelet!  I have been looking into some designs.  We have lots of catalogs at work, and I would get the wholesale price.  I would have a co-worker who is learning engraving take a stab at the engraving.  So, this ugly "piece of jewelry" won't cost me nearly as much.  However, here is the problem, I am too picky!  I have looked at the catalogs, I found one, but for some reason unbeknownst to me, it's a design that cannot be engraved!  What is the point?!?!  I have looked through every catalog at work, nothing else has caught my eye. 

I found some sites tonight and got to thinking.  Why can't I make several bracelets and have a charm that hooks onto them?  Not as dork...but will the allergies all fit on one charm?  I have several bracelets that I have made and love, so this might work!  Who says a medic alert bracelet can't be a pearl bracelet?!?

I will look into the charms tomorrow at work.  I also need to remember to take my star sapphire in so I can have my ring made :)  Yay!
