It's absolutely lovely and I adore the way it drapes around my neck. I think it's perfect as we honor men and women who have suffered from breast cancer.
I have been very fortunate that nobody in my family has had breast cancer, or cancer in general. As a physician, however, I see it every day in the hospital. I have witnessed the pain of discovering the diagnosis, the drama of deciding what to do, the tears at a sense of loss of femininity.
This month we honor those lost to breast cancer or suffering from the disease.
Jim, of Jimbo's Jewelry, makes a lot of amazing jewelry and has personal experience with breast cancer. His mom is a breast cancer survivor. Getting her annual exam saved her life! She had a double mastectomy at 59 and the reconstructive surgery all at once. Doctors were able to take all the cancer out without chemo or radiation, and she is a healthy 64 year old woman today!
That is just wonderful to hear!
As for jewelry, Jim started about 6 years ago as a therapeutic outlet for creative energy. Friends started asking him to make them items and it has grown from there. Jim
loves working with natural stones and handmade items (beads). He also LOVES to re-purpose old jewelery and beads....the ultimate recycling effort!That is just wonderful to hear!

Jim is his own inspiration. He love colors of nature and has to "feel" the colors and materials in order to create an item. He lets them "speak" to him...the rest is easy!
Jim's handmade items are one of a kind, based on the availability of materials and his own imagination. No two pieces are exactly alike, and he prides himself on new and innovative uses for materials. He also has vintage collectibles in addition to jewelry.
