Identification bracelets are personalized pieces of jewelry that can be engraved with a name, initials, or a special message. They can be made of silver or gold and can serve a practical function, such as a medical alert ID. Child ID bracelets are also available.
An identification (identification) bracelet is typically a silver or gold chain pendant bracelet with an in-line solid rectangular plate on which the owner’s name is engraved. These traditional and attractive bracelets are made for both men and women, and the purity of the metal, the style of the chain, the gauge and the size of the plate are determining factors that differentiate the models. Adult ID bracelets range in quality and price from less than $20 United States Dollars (USD) to $200 and more.
Typically, a buyer will have the jeweler engrave a name on the bracelet’s nameplate. Women’s bracelets are typically engraved in a scripted font that resembles handwriting, while men’s ID bracelets are sometimes engraved in printed block letters. Some people choose to have their initials engraved instead of a name, or may have a nickname on the bracelet. Because the ID bracelet is personalized and so attractive, it is often given as a gift to that special someone, a friend or family member.
Some ID bracelets can double as charm bracelets. The charms are hung from the links of the chain that are attached to the nameplate. An ID bracelet could be a girl’s first piece of jewelry and can be a much appreciated and appreciated gift. It can mark a special occasion, such as a religious rite of passage, graduation from one grade to the next, or a special birthday. A date or a short inscription can also be engraved at the bottom of the nameplate.
A special type of identification bracelet known as a Medical Alert ID serves a very practical function. The bracelet is used to inform emergency personnel if the wearer is allergic to drugs or foods, is taking medication, or has a medical condition that could affect treatment. The top of the nameplate features a snake coiled around a staff, the traditional emblem of medicine.
Some parents, concerned about their children, have opted to get child ID bracelets. This is a different type of ID bracelet that looks more like a brightly colored velcro watch strap without the watch. The strap contains one or two tags containing name, address, and telephone number. A child’s ID bracelet does not dangle and is worn for practical reasons only, although a child might like the shiny watch-like strap.
Traditional ID bracelets are available in the jewelry section of most department stores. Inexpensive medical alert bracelets are available pre-engraved at pharmacies, or personalized medical alert ID bracelets can be ordered through various providers online and offline. Child ID bracelets are also available online, and may also be available at some local department stores.
