In the IMDSA bracelet there are 21 cream colored Swarovski pearls to represent the 21 st chromosome. You will find that the Swarovski pearls are separated into three Swarovski pearls and two Swarovski pearls. This represents the mixture that happens with mosaic Down syndrome. The one remaining pearl represents Mosaic Translocation Down syndrome where a cell from the 21 st chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
The five Swarovski colored crystals represent the colors of IMDSA
Red signifies the determination individuals with MDS have. Each are determined to reach their goals and with acceptance they can!
Green signifies the development growth of an individual with MDS. Although each may take their own time in accomplishing a milestone, they will accomplish it!
Yellow signifies the happiness that our children with MDS bring to us. We are not sad that our children have MDS, our children have brought great joy to our lives!
Purple signifies the dignity that each individual with MDS deserves. Individuals with MDS are the same as everyone else and their dignity is just as important.
Blue signifies the self confidence that we strive to ensure our children have. Without self-confidence there is no self-worth.
In the DS bracelet, the 21st chromosome is represented by 21 cream colored Swarovski pearls and the three copies of this chromosome are signified by the pink, green and blue Swarovski crystals!
In both the IMDSA & DS bracelets, the heart charm symbolizes the power of their love-a love that reminds us that all people deserve compassion, love and an opportunity to show their abilities. To emphasize the uniqueness of individuals with mosaic Down syndrome, the heart charm on each bracelet is different. A parent cannot choose who their unborn child is going to be, but they can choose to love them for who they are. Please accept the heart you have been given just as you would embrace and love the unique gifts each person with mosaic Down syndrome brings to the world.
