What is medical alert jewellery?

Medical alert jewellery, also known as medical ID jewellery, carries engraved medical information. It can help someone understand important details if you are unable to explain them yourself.

Our range includes bracelets, necklaces and information beads for compatible bracelets. The information is on the jewellery itself: these designs do not send electronic alerts or connect to a monitoring service.

Choosing what to engrave

Think about your wording before choosing a piece, so you can find a design with enough engraving space.

Your healthcare professional can help you decide which details are relevant to you. Depending on your circumstances, you may want to discuss:

  • Medical conditions or allergies.
  • Important medication information.
  • Your name and an emergency contact number.

You do not need to include everything on this list. Space is limited, so focus on the details that matter for you. If you need to shorten medical wording, check with your healthcare professional that its meaning is still clear.

Check the limit for each line; spaces count too. Before ordering, read through your text carefully and check the spelling and any contact number.

We can help with engraving space, design options and ordering. If your information changes later, contact us to discuss the options for your piece.

  1. Plan your wording

    Ask your healthcare professional which medical details are relevant to carry.

  2. Check the space

    Choose a design with enough room for your wording, and check the limit for each line.

  3. Review your order

    Check your size, options, spelling and any contact number before ordering.

A good fit, and the right care

Measure for your design

For bracelets that ask for a wrist measurement, measure snugly around your wrist bone without squeezing. Enter that measurement and choose your fit preference where offered; we add the allowance.

Cuffs have their own size guide. Do not squeeze or stretch a cuff to change its fit.

Consider the fastening

The black braided leather and desert-sand paracord bracelets offer magnetic or lever clasps. Consider how you prefer to put your jewellery on and take it off.

If a clasp raises a question about your individual medical needs, ask your healthcare professional before choosing.

Care for each material

Our care guide recommends removing jewellery before showering or swimming. Keep leather dry, and clean silver regularly with a suitable jeweller's silver cloth.

Follow the care information for the specific piece and its other materials.

Medical alert jewellery FAQs

Your questions, answered

How do I choose between a bracelet and a necklace?

Choose the type of jewellery you prefer wearing, then compare the fit, fastening or chain options, and engraving space. A bracelet carries its information on your wrist; our tag necklaces have personal engraving on the reverse. The design comparison above gives examples. For advice about suitability for your individual medical needs, speak to your healthcare professional.

What information should I have engraved?

Ask your healthcare professional which details are relevant to you, then check that they fit your chosen design. Read our guide to choosing what to engrave before ordering. We can help with the space available and the ordering process.

How many characters will fit?

These designs have different allowances:

  • Black Braided Leather bracelet: four lines of up to 25 characters on the information bead.
  • Slim necklace: three lines of up to 25 characters.
  • Extra Slim necklace: two lines of up to 25 characters.

Spaces count towards each line's limit. See the comparison above and check the product's current personalisation fields before ordering.

Does this jewellery send an alert or connect to a monitoring service?

No. These pieces carry engraved information. They do not send an electronic alert, make a call or connect to a monitoring service.

How do I choose the right bracelet size?

Follow the measuring instructions for the design you choose. Where the product asks for your wrist measurement and fit preference, provide the actual wrist measurement without adding extra length yourself. Cuffs use a separate size guide and should not be squeezed or stretched to fit.

Are the beads compatible with any bracelet?

Check compatibility with your particular bracelet before ordering. Our medical alert beads are offered for compatible Morgan & French medical alert bracelets; contact us if you would like help checking the fit. Individual bead listings do not include a bracelet strap.

Can I wear it in the shower or when swimming?

Our jewellery care guide recommends removing jewellery before showering or swimming. Leather must be kept dry. Follow the material-specific guidance for your chosen piece, including its strap, clasp and any plating.

Jewellery care guide

Can the engraving be changed later?

Please contact us with the product details and the change you are considering so we can advise on the available options. Do not assume an engraved piece can be altered. Some bracelet designs accept additional or replacement information beads, subject to compatibility.
