Anybody know if there is medical alert jewelry a little more discreet than the typical silver plate and medical sign? I hate getting asked about that by people. Are there even any out there?
Thanks!
Yes there are! At my hospital's gift shop they are 'special' medical bracelets where they are like nice beads, etc with the medical alert tag still on it. It's much nicer and looks like a real bracelet as opposed to a medical one! This is one of my favorite websites for medical bracelets, I've ordered a few from here before.... http://www.laurenshope.com/category.aspx?id=1 I hope this helps!

Lauren's hope is awesome! I have a really cute medical bracelet from them and I've gotten a lot of comments about how pretty it is. Definitely better than the typical silver plated ones.
My son didn't like the bracelet either so I found a place online that will make those rubber bracelets (like the yellow one for Live Strong) in any color you want and will put whatever you want on it!
I love them. I bought several. They are very inexpensive AND he wears them!

I like these and they are still noticable enough that a EMT would pay attention! http://www.idonme.com/idonmeProducts.htm
I had a bracelet from Lauren'e Hope, but it broke at a horse show and I never found it. I now have a copper cuff bracelet from Zales. I ordered it online and it was cheaper than my Lauren's hope bracelet.
Shut up and ride!
I'd rather be at the stall than at the mall.
i have a bracelet from medic alert. its really nice but it was 75 dollars. they had a sale giong on when i got it thiugh. it doesnt look like one. it has a nice looking and thin chain with the tag on it that is sparkly. the metal it was made of is much nicer than the other bracelets. I was getting lots of complements on it. i actually had to tell them what it was for. plus you can get it adjusted for 5 $ per inch if needed after you order it.
Hopefully it isn't so pretty that a medical professional would not bother to consider it as a Medic Alert bracelet in the event of a medical emergency.
That's what I'm always worried about! Thus, so far I've stuck with the pretty traditional, yet chunky and clunky silver or gold medical alert bracelets. Definately time for a change... but not to subtle of one :) Still gotta have it stand out to the medics!
A friend of mine has a different condition, but she always wears a dog tag-like nacklace instead.

They have the same bracelet with a smaller plate too. It's not tiny, but it's actually quite pretty and people don't take notice of it much. So far, the only people I've had notice it have been nurses, which is probably a good thing!
Oh, wow, Keely, I love that bracelet!
I took the medic alert part of one of my old bracelets and i bead lots of other chains and stuff so i can kind of match them to my outfits. it's alot more fun that way.

it has the medical alert symbol on it and the same info as the other ones. its like the other ones shape-wise but looks way nicer.
