Silicone Bracelets

Commonly used in a wide range of applications, silicone has recently become a popular jewelry material because of its heat stability, flexibility, and water resistance.

Silicone bracelets are affordable, colorful, comfortable, durable accessories – a virtual craze among the youth today because of the appearance of stamped messages. The different colors of silicone bracelets have come to represent different societal causes, from finding a cure for a particular disease to raising environmental consciousness.

Often known as rubber bracelets, silicone bracelets first appeared when the Lance Armstrong Foundation, founded in 1997 by world-renowned cyclist Lance Armstrong, designed and began selling them. The bright yellow silicone bracelets representing cancer survivors, the yellow color of the Tour de France, soon captured the imagination of the other charities. The bright colors and socially conscious messages attracted many and the target audience for these bracelets suddenly burgeoned.

Today silicone jewelry manufacturers create many awareness-related silicone bracelets, which are available in bulk online in a wide variety of colors, styles, and pre-printed messages. Whether these bracelets will go on to make a fashion statement or not cannot be foretold, but it is fair to say that they have achieved a great deal of attention in just a few years.
