Cause bracelets were all the rage for a while in the form of Livestrong bracelet and other rubber wristbands. Now, they’re making a comeback but this time they’re super cute! Here are my picks for some of the cutest options out there.
TogetherBands are causing bracelets taken to the extreme in the best way. The rope is made of plastic pulled from the ocean, the clasp is made of Humanium, stainless steel made of melted down illegal firearms, and each bracelet color corresponds to one of the UN’s global initiatives. This one helps with Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities. If you feel passionate about a different cause or if you’re not a fan of this color, there are 13 other options you can check out!
These may seem more expensive at $52 for the thicker bracelet and $30 for the “mini” version (pictured below), but each pack does come with two bracelets (one for you and one to share), the materials are more expensive considering how they get them, and 100% of the proceeds go towards the UN’s sustainability goals! Other goals include No Poverty, Zero Hunger, and Climate Action. Each band is one size fits all because they’re adjustable, and the two-pack means you can spread the word with friends and family!

PuraVida bracelets are already super popular, but did you know they have a line of cause bracelets? There are tons of options for causes/charities and different colors, and they’re so super cute! Each color was chosen to coordinate to colors that are associated with the cause/charity the bracelet supports. The one linked below supports Mental Health America, but you can find bracelets for other illness charities as well as other causes. These bracelets, unlike TogetherBands, only donate 10% of net sales to the charity it supports, but you have a lot more options as far as causes and colors go!
Plus, these are only $6 each so you can get a few to support more causes. It’s also great that these are so cute people are bound to ask where you got them! And they’re unisex! These look great in a stack of bracelets or on their own, and you can get really specific about what cause you want to support. Some of the cause bracelets sold by PuraVida are a little more embellished than the one linked below, so if your style tends to be a little fancier you should totally go check those out!

You’ve probably seen this company advertising on Facebook; that’s how I became aware of them! Every bracelet sold funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean and shorelines. Each bracelet is made of sustainable material (including a small amount of recycled ocean plastic and ocean trash) and is hand-assembled in Bali. A great thing about this particular cause bracelet is that it’s sold by a non-profit dedicated to one thing: cleaning up our oceans.
You know what your money’s going towards, plus the bracelet’s so cute you know someone’s going to ask where you got it and you’ll be able to promote the cause! At $20, this isn’t a particularly cheap option, but you’re paying more for the removal of the pound of trash from the ocean/shore than for the bracelet itself. These would also be a great option if you’re looking for something that’s more unisex or if you’re looking to get something for a friend because it’s such a classic design. This is a cause everyone can get behind, and a bracelet anyone can pull off. If you’re interested in cleaning up our oceans, you should go read about how this company does it because it’s fascinating.

Each bracelet from this site is handmade by women in Africa, providing them with employment. What’s even cooler is that each bracelet sold provides 200,000 gallons of clean water to a family in Africa according to the website. For every five bracelets, they also donate a water filter! You can feel good that no only are the funds going towards providing people with clean water, the manufacturing of the bracelets also provides employment to women.
There are tons of options on the site so if the example below isn’t your style, you should totally click through to shop the site! This particular bracelet set was made by 20 women in Kenya and made of glass beads. Some are also made of paper beads. A lot of these bracelets would be so cute in a stack! They also sell necklaces, earrings, and other things like greeting cards. This would be a great place to buy people gifts from because the money goes to a great cause, everything on their site’s super cute, and you can spread awareness about the work that Just One Africa is doing!

This is another line of cause bracelets made by an established jewelry company, like PuraVida. Julie Chavez was already an established jewelry designer when she founded Chavez For Charity. If you really prefer more fancy jewelry, this is definitely where you’re going to want to shop! Each piece donates to a particular charity which is noted in the description of the piece. The one linked below, for example, donates to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, which is working to cure breast cancer.
You can shop by cause as well as by the image of what the bracelet looks like. Bracelets are $22, and with each bracelet/set sold 25% of the profit is donated to the cause it supports. If your style tends to be more polished, you’ll love that these bracelets really just look like normal jewelry. And when people ask where you got your super cute bracelet from, you can take that opportunity to spread awareness about the cause it supports.
