    I have made several real expensive med alert baracelets some with
    diamonds and platinum some with rubies but it is real important to
    remeber the purpose of the bracelet it needs to be immediatly
    recognizable and when they get real pretty they might not be. My
    father in law is a doctor and he had some serious misgivings about
    making these things due to the potential liablilty for them to be
    misinterperted as a piece of jewlery instead of what they are a life
    saving device he told me i could potentialy be liable if one was
    overlooked due to the design of it so I have since stopped making
    them. They look a certain way because all doctors and emergency
    workers know what they look like. The doctors and hospitals are
    liable if they overlook one and it would probably fall on the
    manfactures head if anyone died because of it. 

    Just my 2cents good luck with the project. 

Sincerely 
Kevin Potter
